<p>How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments</p><p><a href="https://join.piefed.social/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flair_examples.webp" rel="nofollow">On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit</a> – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.</p><p>However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in <a href="https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md" rel="nofollow">FEP 1b12</a> which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:</p><p>For flair on posts, <a href="https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5636" rel="nofollow">the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this</a>, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:</p><p>{<br> "type": "Group",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/c/piefed_meta</a>",<br> "name": "piefed_meta",<br> /* ... */<br> "lemmy:tagsForPosts": [<br> {<br> "type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/ta</span><span class="invisible">g/whatever</span></a>",<br> "display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",<br> "text_color": "<a href="/tags/000000/" rel="tag">#000000</a>",<br> "background_color": "<a href="/tags/dedede/" rel="tag">#dedede</a>"<br> }<br> ]<br> }</p><p>lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects. </p><p>So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:</p><p>{<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/post/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/post/1</a>",<br> "actor": "<a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/u/rimu</a>",<br> "type": "Page",<br> /* ... */<br> "tag": [<br> {<br> "type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/ta</span><span class="invisible">g/whatever</span></a>",<br> "display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"<br> },<br> {<br> "href": "<a href="https://piefed.social/post/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/post/1</a>",<br> "name": "asdf",<br> "type": "Hashtag"<br> }<br> ]<br> }</p><p>In this example the post also has a <a href="/tags/asdf/" rel="tag">#asdf</a> hashtag on it.</p><p>User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.</p><p>{<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/comment/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/comment/1</a>",<br> "actor": "<a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/u/rimu</a>",<br> "type": "Note",<br> /* ... */<br> "flair": "PieFed dev"<br> }</p><p>This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.</p><p>It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too. </p><p>Let’s see how it goes.</p><p><a href="/tags/asdf/" rel="tag">#asdf</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/lemmy/" rel="tag">#Lemmy</a> <a href="/tags/piefed/" rel="tag">#piefed</a> <a href="/tags/threadverse/" rel="tag">#threadverse</a></p>

<p>I said I would publish this week, I guess it happened earlier than expected. This is a high-level overview of Postmodern, the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> platform I hope to someday build.

<p>I've been thinking about client-server interactions in the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a>. <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/c2s/" rel="tag">#C2S</a> isn't widely used, and most clients rely on Mastodon-compatible APIs instead.</p><p>What if we created a new standardized API based on <a href="https://graphql.org/" rel="nofollow">GraphQL</a> + <a href="https://relay.dev/" rel="nofollow">Relay</a> for client-server communication, while keeping ActivityPub for server-to-server federation?</p><p>The Mastodon-compatible API lacks formal schema definitions for code generation and type checking, which hurts developer productivity. And ActivityPub C2S is honestly too cumbersome to use directly from client apps.</p><p><a href="/tags/graphql/" rel="tag">#GraphQL</a> would give us type safety, efficient data fetching (only get what you need), and the ability to evolve the API without breaking clients. <a href="/tags/relay/" rel="tag">#Relay</a>'s features for pagination, caching, and optimistic updates seem perfect for social apps.</p><p>Would this be valuable to our community? What challenges do you see? How might we handle backward compatibility? And should this be formalized as an FEP?</p><p>Curious what others think about this approach.</p><p><a href="/tags/fedidev/" rel="tag">#fedidev</a></p>

<p>As <a href="/tags/fedify/" rel="tag">#Fedify</a>'s author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?</p><p>While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.</p><p>Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.</p><p>Still, I see potential as the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.</p><p>I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?</p><p>Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.</p>
