    Been reading some docs and felt like drawing to get a better picture.

    Some things to note:

    • Parenthesis indicate bridges
    • Fed Bridgy and Mostr appear twice because I don't know if they allow cross-communication
    • One-way arrows (→) indicate one-way communication, and two-ways arrows (⇄) indicate the two sides can talk with each other
    • Threads to/from Facebook and Instagram communication appears with an interrogation mark because the information I could find didn't feel conclusive and I don't have an account to test myself
    • Maybe I missed some bridges and protocols, but that'd be more of a lack of knowing; also intentionally ignored X/Twitter > Nitter > RSS > ActicityPub bridges because it felt too much of a stretch.

    If you're talking protocols, then why is WordPress there?

    If you include Wordpress there are about 100 other softwares that should also show up, but then you also need more paper 😁

    Wasn't quite sure how to fit WordPress, as well as either Minds and Threads, as all 3 end up being, from what I could tell, hybrids.

    But interesting. Now that you mention it, I remembered NodeBB also implemented ActivityPub compatibility, though can't remember if it's through optional plugins or if it became an ActivityPub platform altogether. Gonna look up what other softwares are in this situation too.

    Cool. Looks about right to me, not that I'm an expert. Bridgy Fed and Mostr do allow you to chain them together and do Nostr <> AT communication (though more recently there's also Eclipse.Pub that does Nostr <> AT). There are also a few other protocols still in use (Diaspora, DFRN, Zot, Nomad - Diaspora, Friendica, Hubzilla, Streams respectively) although all but Diaspora all internally bridge to Activity Pub so I'm not sure how they'd fit into your model.

    NodeBB supports ActivityPub out of the box (no plugins) as of v4 🙂

    lemmy.ml is different from voyager.lemmy.ml. The latter is just a testing instance.

    Introduction As far as I know, the software used by Fediverse, a decentralized social networking site, makes information public due to its decentralized nature, and as a result, it's often possible to obtain feeds of the latest information via RSS. However, the extent to which this is possible varies depending on the software's capabilities and features, and I was interested in the functionality of each piece of software, so I decided to write this article to research and summarize the state of RSS on Fediverse, including its URL structure. This article is based on a pioneering article titled "Finding Fediverse Feeds" that appeared on the website Hyperborea: Kelson Vibber. Stream Fediverse feeds to your RSS reader URL Structure Table Software Section URL type Title visible links RSS Subscriptions from External Servers Lemmy Community /feeds/c/{community}.xml?sort={sort} RSS 2.0 Yes Yes No Lemmy User /feeds/u/{username}.xml?sort={sort} RSS 2.0 Yes Yes No Lemmy Local Timeline /feeds/local.xml?sort={sort} RSS 2.0 Yes Yes No Lemmy All Timeline /feeds/all.xml?sort={sort} RSS 2.0 Yes Yes No Lemmy Your front page /feeds/front.xml/{jwt_token} RSS 2.0 Yes No - Lemmy Your inbox /feeds/inbox.xml/{jwt_token} RSS 2.0 Yes No - Lemmy Your modlog /feeds/modlog.xml/{jwt_token} RSS 2.0 Yes No - PieFed Community /community/{community}/feed RSS 2.0 Yes Yes Yes PieFed User /u/{username}/feed RSS 2.0 Yes No Yes PieFed Topic /topic/{topic}.rss RSS 2.0 Yes No Uninvestigated PieFed Feeds /f/{feeds}.rss RSS 2.0?

    > If it's some automated feature, I don't think it should be in the source property of the federated JSON in the first place. Thanks, it's this. Edit: oh interesting, I looked into it. We serve the absolute URL in HTML but not in markdown. I had no idea threadiverse apps read the markdown. Neat!

    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.
