@julian@activitypub.spaceNeeds more testing... before RFC9421 could be used first... 😉Improving compatibility would be nice.Afair i have already seen a NodeBB message using RFC9421, that was successfully verified.

@silverpill @julian In addition, more particularly, it appeared highly unlikely that Mastodon would ever implement something first implemented in the "Anti-Mastodons". The Fediverse server applications that are the farthest from Mastodon while still largely being capable of the same things as Mastodon. Mastodon's nemeses, so-to-speak. The stuff created by the guy who speaks out the most radically against what Mastodon does.#FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta

@lutindiscret unfortunately not

@apps It would be cool to be able to search for one's location and see how many people there are near one before having to sign up and then find out it is zero.

@julian yes! We had a room full of about 30 people go through an 8-step onboarding. It worked really well!

My advice to new activitypub devs:- be bold: ship what big tech won't.- consent first: opt in, never opt out.- keep evolving: your v1 federation code will be wrong, and that's fine.- federate the future: interop over lock in, every time.8 years in and I still come back to these.#activityPub #fediverse #socialWeb #builders

First 100: BadgeFed Explorer The verified Badge was issued to @MIchael S. Manley You ventured into uncharted territory and helped shape the BadgeFed project from the start. As one of the first 100 testers, your curiosity, feedback, and bug-finding instincts helped stabilize the platform. The fediverse will always remember your role in getting us off the ground—one crash, typo, and glorious bug report at a time. Earning Criteria: Awarded to the first 100 individuals who actively participated in the early testing phase of BadgeFed. This includes exploring the platform, submitting feedback or bug reports, and generally poking around where things probably weren’t ready yet. These badges are limited—no retroactive claims, no reruns, no exceptions. You were here. You mattered..

@weekinfediverse@mitra.social We can also announce that Klonkt 1.6.0 was released last night and is looking for a maintainer. It is the first release with the proposed FEP-633c: Guardians implemented and the last one before a refactor. These are exciting times for us and we are focusing on the future again. A few major changes have already made it into the new version on the main branch on GitHub and foreseeing changes to the ActivityPub service that has grown substantially we do not have the capacity to do both.Klonkt is a NodeJS project with a modest dependency footprint and is aimed at independent artists and other kinds of publishers. 

I wonder whether there are any opportunities (for me) to work with #activitypub and #fediverse. My background is in #PHP (decoupled #Drupal), but I am keen to diversify into other languages. I also have solid experience with #REST, #bash and CLI tools.#Fedihire

[image: Screenshot_from_2026-07-29_01-22-20.png] It's been a while since an update! While the automated status updates on this account have stopped (four years ago), the site has been running in the background all this time. Work has been done by the new owners to fix some of the performance related issues, and to modernize the site. Latest updates, in addition to fixing loading times, include icons for most of the major platforms and a search box for instance names.

@phnt I don't see it that way. There are at least 4 different fediverse symbols. One of them was introduced by Ghost (IIRC) but it didn't gain much traction.
