Hello fediverse!
I need your help to feature all of the amazing services that are part of the #ActivityPub realm.
What are some of your favorite ActivityPub handles to follow on #Funkwhale, #Peertube, #Pixelfed, #Bookwyrm, #Wordpress, #Truefans, #Castopod, #Akkoma, #Friendica, #Lemmy and others?
Your replies will be categorized by @jejord, @AileenLalor, @miaq and @marci so that we can feature these accounts to our Flipboard users and work to ensure they render properly on Flipboard.
I'm excited to help evangelize the many great projects here and advocate for their adoption and funding.

Fediverse Sprechstunde!
🗓️ am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr!
ONLINE!
Bist du #neu oder #neuhier in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!
Hauptthema: #Lemmy mit @Ranslite .
Ich freue mich darauf und hoffe es werden weitere Nutzer von Lemmy dabei sein.
Lemmy ist wie ein föderiertes Reddit aufgebaut: Der Fokus liegt auf Themen-Communities, in denen Beiträge (z. B. Links, Texte, Bilder) gepostet und kommentiert werden. Die Diskussionen sind eher threadbasiert und themenzentriert.
Eingeladen sind ebenso alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Misskey, Hubzilla oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.
Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind. Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen. Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.
Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: wird hier 1 Tag davor gepostet
Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋♀️
Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Die Welt des Fediverse ist Größer und vielfältiger. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.
Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!

♿️ 🔃 Acabo de criar uma comunidade #Lemmy para tópicos de interesse de PcDs: https://forum.ayom.media/c/pcd
Queria finalmente escrever sobre o processo de reconhecimento de deficiência (física) em Santa Catarina. Inicialmente, a ideia era postar no WriteFreely ( @daltux ). Porém, ultimamente, tenho considerado o Lemmy melhor. Pensei em criar uma comunidade "minha" mesmo, para servir de blog. Talvez faça isso depois. Contudo, como aparentemente ainda não havia comunidade sobre esse tema... participe!
If anyone else was/is as disappointed as I was to discover the wide ranging and pervasive “invalid language” issue that exists across the #Lemmy apps, I found this in the #appstore (#ios). It allows you to select the language on the time you post/reply so you don’t have that problem. Sorry, I don’t know about Android apps.
Wir haben das Fediverse-Schaubild noch einmal überarbeitet. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an @imke für die Aktualisierung und die wertvolle Unterstützung. Hier ist die neueste Version des Fediverse-Schaubilds – schaut es euch an! 👇
Gerne teilen!

Hey, you people explaining "Fediverse" to each other. Use this updated illustration:

Alguém aqui participa do Lemmy? Encontrei uma postagem interessante lá e me interessei em conhecer a comunidade. Mas pelo que eu percebi é tudo tão hermético. Todas as instâncias que eu tentei estão fechadas. Você no máximo pode acompanhar de fora por aqui pelo Mastodon.

📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!
For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.
Help spread the word.

It’s now time to start banging the drum about #Lemmy, #Mbin, and #Piefed as Reddit replacements.
Because right now we really do need decentralized alternatives to Big Social.

Question: do I update my #Fediverse stock photo with this screenshot (it has the shortcut to #Friendica too)?
Disclaimer: Friendica & #Lemmy do not have official apps, so these are iOS shortcuts to URLs (of instances).
A reminder that this stock photo is for articles about the Fediverse, so it’s the most vanilla, KISS (Keep It Simple) version imaginable for people not familiar with the Fediverse. My *real* Fediverse folder has Ivory, Mona, Phanpy, Surf and Voyager.
Let me know your thoughts!
Favorite iOS mobile app for #Lemmy...and why you like it? #fediverse #apps #iosapps
Did you know you can add sources from #Lemmy into your Surf feed?
This custom feed by @finallycanuck about #Toronto and #Ontario is a great example.

How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments
On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit – 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.
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 FEP 1b12 which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:
For flair on posts, the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:
{
"type": "Group",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta",
"name": "piefed_meta",
/* ... */
"lemmy:tagsForPosts": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",
"text_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#dedede"
}
]
}
lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects.
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:
{
"id": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Page",
/* ... */
"tag": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"
},
{
"href": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"name": "asdf",
"type": "Hashtag"
}
]
}
In this example the post also has a #asdf hashtag on it.
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.
{
"id": "https://piefed.social/comment/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Note",
/* ... */
"flair": "PieFed dev"
}
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”.
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.
Let’s see how it goes.
