HTTP Signature Verification and Migration Planning

    More progress on the AP implementation on my site. I got HTTP signature verification on Follow activities working and started the groundwork to migrate from my current instance to my website. Some things I want to do before migrating: 1. Export my archive, I'm especially interested in preserving who I'm follows and bookmarks. 1. For bookmarks: Create a page on my site that links to the bookmarks. 1. For follows: Create an OPML file linking to their RSS feeds and add those feeds to my feed reader. One thing I will miss after I retire my instance is the timeline. I always discover interesting posts and people that way. My plan is to follow RSS feeds for tags that I'm interested in. I know it's not as good or spontaneous as the timeline but it's a way to stay engaged in the conversation. Also, my site effectively will work one-way for now. I don't have a way to receive replies or DMs, nor do I have a way of replying to people directly from my site. Maybe that's something I'll add later on but not a priority at the moment. My main priority at the moment is to maintain a presence in the Fediverse without having to maintain my own instance. I know technically I could just join someone else's instance, but I don't want to create yet another account nor become a maintenance burden for someone else. More importantly though, I want my website to be my digital hub, with protocols like ActivityPub, Nostr, and AT Protocol serving as spokes to reach different networks. My content and identity remain on my site, independent of any single platform. If any protocol or network disappears, my content and identity remain intact.

    A blog requires a platform designed for blogging. Staying within the realm of federated software, the three natural alternatives are: WordPress, which, thanks to the plugin that makes it compatible with Activitypub, has achieved a level of perfect integration with the Fediverse. Ghost, which, federated a few months ago, is not only a blogging platform but is also specifically designed for creating mailing lists based on the Substack model. Writefreely, which, despite being natively federated, is extremely focused on distraction-free writing and therefore has some seriously limiting features. Friendica As for Friendica, I'm a huge fan of that software and manage the second-most active instance in the entire Fediverse. I can assure you that I know it well and appreciate all its most important features. But don't be fooled by the fact that some call it macro-blogging software. In fact, if you visit a Friendica account's profile, it's not possible to filter the Timeline of their posts from the Timeline of the posts they've reshared. So, you could virtually create a page like this: https://poliverso.org/profile/saio But you could only do that if you don't share too much other content, otherwise the result would be like this: https://poliverso.org/profile/notizie which would be much more confusing 😅 However, Friendica is a very powerful software that allows you to republish your blog feed, as well as automatically reshare your federated blogs. Here I've listed some very interesting Friendica features for blogging: https://poliverso.org/display/0477a01e-1366-ebfd-2002-91a370393480 So, to recap, if you want to use Friendica to create your blog, you can: you can create a new account. Remember to define it as a "page account," if possible, but also remember that when you reshare content you like, it will appear on your profile page. However, if you don't need the full suite of tools that characterize a social media platform, you're better off using WordPress. Sharkey We're talking about software with a very nice interface, but it's still a social networking software. Being essentially a fork of Misskey, it also has a section for creating static pages that can be easily viewed from outside the Fediverse, but these pages can't be federated with Activitypub 😭. Ultimately, it seems even less suitable for creating a blog. If you absolutely must use a Fediverse social media platform, then you'd be better off going with Friendica! Hubzilla PS: There's also a software called Hubzilla, which is compatible with Activitypub, although it has developed its own communication protocol. I'm only mentioning it because it's a feature-rich and well-designed product, but its interface is quite complex and unfriendly, so although I've chosen to mention it, I can't recommend it as an alternative.
