I could use some #FediHelp with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.
I use a #WordPress blog with the #ActivityPub plugin. This means that I get #Fediverse -based requests that look like this in the #Apache logs:
"POST /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/actors/1/inbox HTTP/1.1"
So far, so unspectacular. In the latest logs - spanning from 20/Nov/2025:01:49:32 to 21/Nov/2025:05:49:47 - I've had 2046 such requests. Most of these are one-time affairs.
However, 1099 of these requests are from mastodon.sdf.org , which is very suspicious. They are very evenly spread, too - a new request comes every minute or two.
This instance is on #Mastodon 4.1.25. Does this version have a known bug where it sends the same request over and over again?

Sure, that works too, Photon was just a play on the original name and the name for the particle for light, which is kinda important for photos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

@saxifraga I'm interested in decentralization so part of me hopes it will mature and become a thing, but i'm just unsure of how many are using it as well as how many are actually running instances of it that are federated.
If it allows users to natively connect to both #ActivityPub and #ATProto networks without a bridge that would be interesting. Unsure how far along that is but it was something i recall them promoting as a goal somewhere when looking into it initially.

@transicorn it just seems to be another thing for me to get confused with! I might just leave it alone 😁

@saxifraga There are more than 20 users because my profile isn't on that list.
But the fact that 2 years in to their demo instance running you can't even load the list of users doesn't bode well for the project overall.
It seems like it could be cool but i sincerely doubt it's going to ever be something like the other projects that already use #ActivityPub we all connect with already here.

@transicorn 20? Hmm. I think I agree with you - not somewhere to leave for.
It might be just another of those things I’ve signed up for and then never use.

@saxifraga It's been live for 2 years it seems but I think only recently began allowing more signups again.
There are 20 members i can see in the list when clicking on it, trying to load more gives this error.
Tbh i'm not sure if this is ever going to be something people are leaving anywhere for. It might be interesting but i don't see myself using it much even if it does work out given what i'm seeing 2 years into it being around.

@transicorn you’re right - after two years, I would’ve thought it might have been a bit busier. But has the demo instance recently gone live? Maybe it will pick up. But I’m staying here for now!

¿Sabías que Loops es la alternativa a TikTok que se está integrando al fediverso?Es una aplicación diseñada para vídeos breves (hasta 60 segundos) que busca recuperar la filosofía original de TikTok, pero operando bajo los protocolos abiertos del fediverso, como #ActivityPub, permitiendo la interoperabilidad.
