Could we build a governance protocol, something like Loomio, on top of ActivityPub? I’m thinking of a way to do federated governance. #fediverse #activitypub

Like, how might we build a recursively complete self-governing protocol? #fediverse #activitypub

Yes, you could.
You might need to create a new JSON-LD name-spaxe for some things that aren't in ActivityPub yet.
But, it could be done.
...
Probably, most of the work is in creating the client front-end app.

@reiver @heybenji there is a WIP FEP by @lax doing something like that https://codeberg.org/Laxystem/FEP/src/branch/main/fep/5a4f/fep-5a4f.md

#ehLabs for you feed algorithm seems pretty decent now. Definitely better than Mastodon, not as good as Threads. But Threads isn’t a fair comparison because #ActivityPub events aren’t in their main algo and are relegated to a sub menu of following feed.

@csolisr that link seems to be broken, this one works https://fedidb.com/year-in-review/2025

mobileatom@flipboard.com You've touched on a very interesting point. By the way, I've never figured out whether your Flipboard account will ever be able to see my reply, and to be honest, I'd be very curious to know what a Flipboard user sees when they receive a reply from the free Fediverse...
Returning to your observation, I see the Fediverse as an integrated ecosystem, but integration doesn't always have to be symmetrical.
To put it simply, Bookwyrm users and Peertube users aren't interested in viewing content from other social networks!
In the Fediverse, there are programs that focus on one of the three areas in the image above, and programs that occupy two or more reference areas.For example, I find the fact that Mobilizon users can't see Friendica events much more problematic than the shortcoming you noted on Pixelfed...
Pixelfed certainly "looks" like a social network, but it's primarily a place where users share their "personal art galleries."
While I'm not a fan of dansup@mastodon.social, I recognize that he's making great strides to increase the interoperability of his creation, and Pixelfed has grown better than any other software in the Fediverse on three key levels:
improving interoperability creating a beautiful and ergonomic app brand identityI'm sure he'll find a way to make text content visible in the future, but honestly, right now, it doesn't seem like a priority for Pixelfed's development and success.
That said, your observations are a very interesting starting point for the development of software and interfaces in the Fediverse.

Agreed that Mastodon 2022 / Bluesky 2025 is far from a precise correspondence! But while fedi's ecosystem is very diverse in some ways (and I agree that's a fundamental asset), it's much less diverse in others. Similarly the ATmosphere ecosystem is very diverse in some ways.but much less diverse in others. So my guess is that most fedi projects have an analogue in the ATmosphere -- not as far along because it's newer, and we'll see how many continue and how many wind up as dead ends.
Of course there are plenty of exceptions. Off the top of my head, I can't think of ATmosphere analogies of Bonfire, Frequency, or the friendica/Hubzilla/(streams)/Forte family. Then again there are also ATmosphere projects where I can't think of any fedi analogy: Blacksky, Gerrm, XBlock labeler, Anisota, Semble (a sense-making app). And some of the ways the ecosystems aren't diverse mirror each other; for example both are very Europe/US/Canada-centric.

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? #activityPub #Pixelfed

I've just updated my #Snac instance, to version 2.85 👍 🎉
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
Do you see this post? It comes from a Snac server.
The Fediverse is larger than you assume 😉

@AdamStuartSmith thanks!
happy for every feedback and/or improvement requests.
