🎉 Big thanks to @2chanhaeng for his first contribution to #Fedify! He implemented the new fedify webfinger command in PR #278, which allows isolated #WebFinger lookups for testing configurations. This addresses the need for developers to test WebFinger functionality without performing comprehensive object retrieval.

The contribution includes:

A new fedify webfinger <handle> command that accepts @user@domain format handles or URIs
Clean JSON output of WebFinger JRD results
Proper error handling for invalid handles and lookup failures
Complete #CLI integration with help text and usage examples

This was originally filed as issue #260 and marked as a good first issue—perfect for newcomers to learn the codebase structure while contributing meaningful functionality. The PR has been merged and will be included in the upcoming Fedify 1.8.0 release.

We appreciate all first-time contributors who help make Fedify better for the entire #fediverse community. Welcome aboard, ChanHaeng!

The Work Continues: What’s Next

Details will follow soon — but the work on events in the #Fediverse is far from complete. Key upcoming milestones include:

Improvements and new features for the Event Bridge for ActivityPub plugin for WordPress
Continued development to maintain, fix issues, enhance, and expand functionality.
Work on Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEPs)
Ensuring a robust final status of FEP-8a8e and focus on recurring and irregularly scheduled events.
Support for event interoperability in other Fediverse applications
Contribute to other Fediverse applications and help them to explore and improve support for Event objects. For example, @linos has outlined a potential roadmap for Mastodon.
Contribution to GatherPress
Active involvement in the GatherPress project — a modern and truly FLOSS community oriented WordPress event plugin — to ensure full ActivityPub compatibility, including RSVP support and advanced federation features.
Community engagement and outreach
Participation in conferences, public talks, and direct conversations to foster knowledge exchange, gather feedback, and grow the ecosystem around federated events.

Additional updates and technical details will be shared soon. Input, testing, and collaboration from interested parties are always welcome. Or if you know any conferences we should attend, let us know.

Mastodon's latest version has the ability to fetch missing replies from a conversation (under an experimental flag, not enabled by default).

This is a big deal, especially for smaller instances. Mastodon joins other platforms - of which I know of: Streams, GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET and Bonfire - that pull back replies on request.

The hard work on the backend is done, and now there needs to be a discussion about how this interaction works as part of the user experience.

Just when you thought things were settling down… boom 💥 — the ActivityPub plugin gets another big upgrade. Say hello to version 7.0.0, a release packed with new features, polish, and under-the-hood improvements to help your WordPress site federate smoother, smarter, and more securely than ever.

Let’s dive into what’s new.

Following the Fediverse

We’ve added the initial building blocks for Following support — both sending and managing follow requests for remote actors. It’s not in the UI just yet (we’re rolling it out carefully), but that’s not far away. A big step toward richer, two-way federation.

We’ll work with developers of third-party plugins — including those behind Friends and Event Bridge — to migrate their custom follow implementations to this new core feature. This collaboration helps ensure a consistent, reliable follow experience across the ecosystem.

This foundational support for following is also the first step toward a full-featured reader experience right inside WordPress — something we’re excited to keep building toward.

Refined Signature

This release brings support for RFC-9421-style HTTP signatures, both incoming and (optionally) outgoing. That’s a mouthful, but it basically means supporting the latest standard in how we verify and send activities — including a fallback to good old Draft Cavage when needed.

Check out the blog post to learn more: HTTP Signature Upgrades Coming Soon

Full Changelog

Added

Added basic support for handling remote rejections of follow requests.
Added basic support for RFC-9421 style signatures for incoming activities.
Added initial Following support for Actors, hidden for now until plugins add support.
Added missing “Advanced Settings” details to Site Health debug information.
Added option to auto-approve reactions like likes and reposts.
Added support for namespaced attributes and the dcterms:subject field (FEP-b2b8), as a first step toward phasing out summary-based content warnings.
Added support for the WP Rest Cache plugin to help with caching REST API responses.
Documented support for FEP-844e.
Optional support for RFC-9421 style signatures for outgoing activities, including retry with Draft-Cavage-style signature.
Reactions block now supports customizing colors, borders, box-shadows, and typography.
Support for sending follow requests to remote actors is now in place, including outbox delivery and status updates—UI integration will follow later.

Changed

Comment feeds now show only comments by default, with a new type filter (e.g., like, all) to customize which reactions appear.
Consistent naming of Blog user in Block settings.
hs2019 signatures for incoming REST API requests now have their algorithm determined based on their public key.
Likes, comments, and reposts from the Fediverse now require either a name or preferredUsername to be set when the Discussion option require_name_email is set to true. It falls back to “Anonymous”, if not.
Management of public/private keys for Actors now lives in the Actors collection, in preparation for Signature improvements down the line.
Notification emails for new reactions received from the Fediverse now link to the moderation page instead of the edit page, preventing errors and making comment management smoother.
Plugins now have full control over which Settings tabs are shown in Settings > Activitypub.
Reworked follower structure to simplify handling and enable reuse for following mechanism.
Screen options in the Activitypub settings page are now filterable.
Setting the blog identifier to empty will no longer trigger an error message about it being the same as an existing user name.
Step completion tracking in the Welcome tab now even works when the number of steps gets reduced.
The image attachment setting is no longer saved to the database if it matches the default value.
The welcome page now links to the correct profile when Blog Only mode was selected in the profile mode step.
Unified retrieval of comment avatars and re-used core filters to give access to third-part plugins.

Fixed

Allow interaction redirect URLs that contain an ampersand.
Comments received from the Fediverse no longer show an Edit link in the comment list, despite not being editable.
Fixed an issue where links to remote likes and boosts could open raw JSON instead of a proper page.
Fixed a potential error when getting an Activitypub ID based on a user ID.
HTTP signatures using the hs2019 algorithm now get accepted without error.
Improved compatibility with older follower data.
Inbox requests that are missing an algorithm parameter in their signature no longer create a PHP warning.
Interaction attempts that pass a webfinger ID instead of a URL will work again.
Names containing HTML entities now get displayed correctly in the Reactions block’s list of users.
Prevent storage of empty or default post meta values.
The amount of avatars shown in the Reactions block no longer depends on the amount of likes, but is comment type agnostic.
The command-line interface extension, accidentally removed in a recent cleanup, has been restored.
The image attachment setting now correctly respects a value of 0, instead of falling back to the default.
The Welcome screen now loads with proper styling when shown as a fallback.
Using categories as hashtags has been removed to prevent conflicts with tags of the same name.
When verifying signatures on incoming requests, the digest header now gets checked as expected.

Taking a look at the Wordpress ActivityPub Roadmap, at the very end I see this:

> Client-to-Server API (exploration)
> At this stage, we’re exploring and evaluating this based on community interest and potential use cases.

Client to Server API for ActivityPub is not widely utilized (or at all?) so this would be of great benefit to all fediverse platforms.

SHOW YOUR COMMUNITY INTEREST!!! @activitypub.blog

Happy to be finding so many fediverse merchandise stores lately - I was sure I had them all when I setup the list originally. Glad to be proven wrong.

Here's an instance specific one - get the vmst.io logo on a t-shirt! The title of the shirt is "Toots In / Toots Out". 🎺

‘#OpenSource And #Ethical’ #TikTok, #WhatsApp And #Instagram Alternatives Could Transform #SocialMedia

from #Forbes
ByEsat Dedezade, Contributor.
Esat Dedezade is U.K.-based journalist who covers Big Tech for Forbes
Jan 25, 2025, 12:23pm EST

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

I am looking for experts/#developers who are familiar with #ActivityPub and who might be willing to chat with me.

I have started talking with parts of my network (mainly in D and NL), about how we could make the #Fediverse more interesting for content providers and main stream media. This also means attracting ordinary users to join and to find fair and simple ways to support content providers (without #paywalls).
I have some ideas, but now need more expertise and a deeper look under the hood.

In case you missed it, there is now a Fediverse alternative to Strava called Wanderer:

➡️ https://wanderer.to

There is a public server list at:

➡️ https://wanderer.to/servers

To sign up on a server, click on "Create Account", then "Login", then "Make One".

If you're running your own public Wanderer server you can add it to the list at https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer/discussions/361

Techy people can self-host using instructions at https://wanderer.to/run/installation

Clarifying Costs of Running the Fediverse with Jerry from Infosec.Exchange

I decided since I don't understand how all of this works, I will just simply ask Jerry personally about all of this data and technical details, so that people will no longer be confused about all of this.

Includes an exclusive interview with Jerry.
