🎉 Huge shoutouts to two amazing contributors from Korea's #OSSCA program who just made #Fedify even better!
First, @z9mb1 delivered PR #321, adding a handy -o/--output option to fedify lookup. Now you can save lookup results directly to files instead of just printing to terminal—a nice quality-of-life improvement for analysis and scripting workflows.
But the real showstopper is @joonnot's incredible PR #283, which introduces the brand new @fedify/testing package! This massive contribution (2,014 lines across 20 files) brings MockFederation and MockContext classes that completely transform how we test federated applications. No more complex setups or actual network requests—just clean, straightforward unit testing with activity tracking, inbox simulation, and queue-aware testing capabilities.
These contributions solve real pain points and showcase the amazing talent emerging from the OSSCA program. Both features will be available in the upcoming Fedify 1.8 release. The future of federated software development just got a lot brighter! 🚀

We'd like to recognize some excellent contributions from our #OSSCA (Open Source Contribution Academy) participants who have been working on #Fedify.
@gaebalgom contributed PR #339, which introduces the @fedify/elysia package to provide Elysia integration for Fedify. This work addresses issue #286 by creating a plugin that enables developers using #Bun and #Elysia to integrate Fedify's #ActivityPub capabilities into their applications. The contribution includes the core integration module, documentation, examples, and proper monorepo configuration, making Fedify accessible to the Elysia community.
@r4bb1t submitted PR #315, implementing comprehensive AbortSignal support across multiple APIs to resolve issue #51. This contribution adds request cancellation capabilities not only to lookupWebFinger() but also to lookupObject(), DocumentLoader, and the HTTP signature authentication flow (doubleKnock()), allowing developers to properly handle timeouts and abort ongoing requests throughout the entire request chain. The implementation includes extensive test coverage for cancellation scenarios across all affected components and lays the groundwork for adding --timeout options to various CLI commands like fedify lookup, fedify webfinger, and fedify nodeinfo, making federated applications more robust and responsive.
@ooheunda addressed a testing infrastructure issue with PR #350, fixing a race condition in PostgreSQL message queue tests that was causing intermittent failures (issue #346). By adding explicit initialization before concurrent message queue listeners, this fix prevents table creation conflicts that were affecting test reliability, ensuring more consistent PR testing for all contributors.
@songbirds provided two test stability improvements with PR #344 and PR #347. The first PR adds skip guards to RedisKvStore tests as a workaround for a known Bun runtime issue, keeping the test suite functional while awaiting an upstream fix. The second PR resolves a race condition in the code generation process by randomizing output filenames, preventing conflicts during parallel test execution. These contributions help maintain a stable testing environment for the project.
Thank you all for your contributions to Fedify. Your work helps make federated social networking more accessible to developers.
KLAXXON! #SOURCE issue 2 is now available for download! In case you don't know what I am on about SOURCE is my attempt at an #opensource "pay what you feel" magazine. In this issue we look at #Godot, #Inkscape, #OpenStreetMap #Logseq #Termux and #Syncthing
There's a little more info and a direct to pdf link on my blog as well as links to Issue 1 which was a deep dive on Computational Fluid Dynamics with #FreeCAD.

🎉 Huge shoutout to @2chanhaeng for implementing custom collection dispatchers in #Fedify through the Korean #OSSCA program!
This incredible contribution adds support for creating arbitrary collections beyond the built-in ones (e.g., outbox, inbox, following, followers). Now developers can expose custom collections like user bookmarks, post categories, or any grouped content through the #ActivityPub protocol:
federation .setCollectionDispatcher( "bookmarks", Article, "/users/{identifier}/bookmarks", async (ctx, values, cursor) => { const { posts, nextCursor } = await getBookmarkedPosts(values.identifier, cursor); return { items: posts, nextCursor }; } ) .setCounter(async (ctx, values) => getBookmarkCount(values.identifier) );
The implementation is technically excellent with full #TypeScript support, both Collection and OrderedCollection types, cursor-based pagination, authorization predicates, and zero breaking changes. @2chanhaeng delivered not just code but a complete feature with 313 lines of comprehensive documentation, practical examples, and thorough test coverage.
This opens up countless possibilities for ActivityPub applications built with Fedify. From user-specific collections to complex categorization systems, developers now have the flexibility to create any type of custom collection while maintaining full ActivityPub compliance.
Thank you @2chanhaeng for this outstanding contribution and to the OSSCA program for fostering such excellent open source collaboration! 🚀

🚀 划时代的 Rust 日志体验来了(fake) —— CCB Logger 正式发布！✨
最近写了个 CLI 工具，顺手打磨了个日志库：CCB Logger
它不复杂，就是想让 Rust 的日志输出 —— 更清晰、更结构化、开箱即用
比如这样：
info!("User login", "user_id", "12345", "ip", "192.168.1.100");
终端里就长这样：
2024-01-15 14:30:25.123 INFO User login user_id=12345 ip=192.168.1.100
对齐整齐、颜色舒服、时间精确，字段一目了然。没有图标，不花哨，但在终端里看得就是顺眼。
🔧 特性很务实：
- 五种日志等级（Trace 到 Error），统一四字符对齐
- 自动判断终端，决定是否上色
- 支持全局 logger 和上下文注入（比如 service=api）
- 宏简洁，info!, error! 直接用
- 零配置启动，也能按需定制
名字叫 CCB？是个朋友随口起的，没特别意思，但挺好记（真的 😄）
如果你也在写 CLI 工具或小服务，想找个轻量、好看、结构化的日志方案，不妨试试看。
- 📦 cargo add ccb Docs
- 🐱 GitHub: ccb⭐
- 作案动机 charmbracelet/log 这样的项目在 Rust 里没有，那就自己改。
欢迎试用，也欢迎提建议～
