Bonjour 🌿

J'ai remis en place un système de pré commandes sur ma boutique en ligne pour les textiles de la collection à l'orée du bois.
Ce sont des sweat et teeshirt en hommage au Renard et à la nature libre et sauvage. Parce qu'il est trop souvent mal jugé, ici je le mets à l'honneur 🦊.

Les impressions sont faites dans une entreprise en Bretagne d'après mes illustrations, je suis vraiment contente du résultat !

Les partages sont les bienvenus 💚.

Here's another cool feature of Bonfire. One account, many profiles.

When you create an account, you can create multiple profiles, each with it's own unique followers, content and settings (and emojis!).

1 account. 1 password. Many profiles.

Ownership of profiles can be shared with others. A news publication can share posting responsibilities, for example.

#Fediverse games, interactive bot accounts where Fediverse members can play together:

➡️ @votechess - Collaborative chess games, vote on next move

➡️ @ChessPuzzleBot - Daily chess puzzle, DM "help" to account for detailed instructions

➡️ @pokemon - Fediverse plays Pokemon collaboratively, vote on next move

➡️ @dungeons - Simple D&D RPG adventures with polls for actions

➡️ @chest_bot (main) & @chest_bot_atm (saving loot) & @chest_bot_shop (spending loot) - Open chests to discover treasure

Here's an idea I'm playing with: a semi-customizable fediverse invitation page.

Example: https://invite.jointhefediverse.net/?server=hachyderm.io&apps=1,2,3,5

METTEZ DES HASHTAGS LES GENS la première chose que je fais pour convaincre quelqu'un'e de rejoindre le #fediverse, c'est de lui demander ce qui l'intéresse. La poterie ? J'ouvre le hashtag #poterie pour lui prouver dans la seconde qu'il y a du contenu pour elle, qu'elle peut trouver des gens avec qui partager, que ça vit. Si pas de contenu, je l'ai perdue.

Chaque hashtag est une vitrine qui doit montrer la vitalité du réseau.

Pensons-y et posons les #hashtags sur les meilleurs publications 🙏

A couple days ago, I got a DM from a #Bonfire user. I happily replied and senta follow request—but the Accept never came back, even though they hadn'tenabled manuallyApprovesFollowers. My DM reply probably never arrived either. Classic interop bug.

I checked out the Bonfire source and dug in. Turns out Bonfire hasn't implemented RFC 9421 yet, so it was silently discarding any activity signed with it. That alone would be workable, except for one more issue: Bonfire was responding 200 OK even when signature verification failed, instead of 401 Unauthorized.

This matters because Fedify implements a double-knocking mechanism—if a request signed with RFC 9421 fails, it retries with the older draft cavage signature. But since Bonfire returned 200 OK on the failed first knock, #Fedify had no reason to send a second one.

I filed two issues on the Bonfire #ActivityPub repo—one requesting RFC 9421 support, and one about returning 401 on invalid signatures. For the latter, I also sent a PR, which got merged pretty quickly: bonfire-networks/activity_pub#9.

That said, individual Bonfire instances won't pick up the fix until they actually deploy it. So in the meantime, I patched Hollo and Hackers' Pub to use draft-cavage-http-signatures-12 as the firstKnock, so Bonfire instances can at least understand the first request.

One last thing: Fedify caches whether a given server supports RFC 9421, and the Bonfire servers I'd already talked to were cached as “supports RFC 9421”—because they'd been returning 200 OK. I had to manually clear that cache on both hollo.social and hackers.pub before everything finally worked.

After all that, the mutual follow went through and my DM reply landed. Worth it.

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

Interested in testing? Reply here, I will reach out in the next 24-48hrs with an invitation link.
