  • Our initial clients will be built in JavaScript, so you’d need to enable JS on your browser to use it (for now)

    And, it will require special features on your server, so this won’t work on Mastodon (for now)

    Download the road, things will change. We’re defining a standard API that anyone can build in. So hopefully someone can built installable clients (iOS, Android, desktop) that work separate from your browser.

    How will this work for clients of servers with no JavaScript, like and ? Well the server be doing the decryption as surely that breaks the point of it being "end-to-end"?

  • @daniel@gultsch.social The Lemmy developers have added a user profile field where you can enter a Matrix account. It would certainly be better to also add a link to XMPP, and I believe this would be the most viable way to immediately achieve secure communication in the Fediverse.

    However, it's always helpful for someone to try to "reinvent the wheel": diversity is a very prolific mother of solutions to problems that don't yet exist.

  • @julian said in New Fediverse features that actually aren't new:
    > Don't forget NodeBB is also based off of groups! We've increased support for it in 2025 and it's continuing to be our core focus into 2026.

    No one familiar with the Fediverse can ignore it! In my opinion, NodeBB represents the most complete implementation of Activitypub groups today, adding the ergonomics of Lemmy and the versatility of Kbin to the great flexibility of Friendica!

    NodeBB forum categories function as excellent Activitypub groups, perfectly compatible for Mastodon users.

    Unfortunately, while users Lemmy/Piefed, Mbin, and Friendica can easily view NodeBB groups, Mastodon users lack a valid interface for managing groups, and almost no one is familiar with the Raccoon app, which is the only app that can recognize Activitypub groups and group discussions by topic.

    For me, NodeBB was the best surprise in the Fediverse of this amazing 2025, and I thank the entire development team again for this wonderful gift!

  • Latest FOSS Academic post is -- you guessed it -- a 2025 year in review post. Thrill to the fact that I'm using much of the same FOSS to do my work as I always have! Feel the chills as I talk about and how terrible it is! Above all, join me in living the FOSS Academic Lifestyle Dream!

  • to be clear there are more issues than being able to represent an actor alongside a post

    but the short version is that not having a proxyUrl endpoint means your client will hit CORS everywhere!

    Everything has gone to...In January 2023, @pluralistic used the term "enshittification" on his blog, pluralistic.net, to describe the deterioration process of the TikTok network.Enshittification consists of four stages:1. Platforms are good for users2. Platforms abuse users to be good for business customers3. Platforms abuse business customers to keep all the profit4. Platforms die🧵 #thread #socialmedia #platforms #fediverse #activitypub #google #amazon #microsoft #enshittification

    Mastodon has a concept called "pinned statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#featured It wasn't readily known how this collection is updated and federated (not without code achaeology), but claire@social.sitedethib.com recently shared some additional info :smiley: The actor itself will issue an Add activity targeting the collection with the status in object. This activity is sent to all followers of the actor. No activity is sent if the actor has no remote followers. A Remove is sent when a pinned post is unpinned. This is what the Add looks like: { "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "type": "Add", "actor": "https://example.org/users/testUser", "target": "https://example.org/users/testUser/collections/featured", "object": "https://example.org/users/testUser/statuses/115266412340579560" } The corresponding Remove is identical except for type, which is of course, Remove.
