Summer/Autumn 2025: Little coding, but lots of socializing and planning
At the first October weekend I (@linos) was attending the Berlin FediDay 2025. It was a meetup of the Berlin and German community, developers of Fediverse applications, and representatives of German speaking media institutions. It was great to see old friends again and meet some online contacts for the first time. We were discussing the future and the role of the Fediverse, which was super motivating. #FediDay
Two weeks later, I travelled to Sofia, Bulgaria, to attend this year’s OpenFest, give a talk and lead a workshop on how the Fediverse can help announce and discover events. Unfortunately, the talk didn’t attract much attention, as LLMs are currently drawing more of an audience. But the discussions with those in attendance were very interesting. The workshop was mainly about trying out #Gancio, #WordPress and #Mastodon and learning about the possibilities for local communities by trying out the applications themselves. I simply provided real test instances, created a list of tasks, including minor pitfalls, and, of course, answered all the questions that came up – and there were quite a few! And a big thank you to the crew and the organizing team, who were so friendly and simply wonderful throughout. #OpenFest
Yesterday, I had an awesome online meeting with the incredibly cool folks behind LAUTI, a free and open-source software for hosting small event calendars. #LAUTI is aimed at small and medium-sized communities and has a big focus on social, cultural and activist stuff. The instance for the Stuttgart area, run by the collective that develops it (@klasse_methode@chaos.social), can be found at https://einftopf.info. The developers are in the process of exploring the potential of #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. I’m very excited and think this could be really great! In case you’ve been wondering: I see LAUTI kind of in between #Mobilizon and #Gancio. In my opinion, it would not be a competitor to them, but it could be a great addition to the Fediverse by filling this gap.
I will be at the #SFSCON in Bolzano, Italy, in two weeks. There will be a whole afternoon focusing on the Fediverse! So in case you’re there you’re invited to join my short talk about Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse: status quo and vision. Or you’re welcome any time to say hello and let’s have a chat.
After that, it’s time to sit down and get back to programming. But it’s very important to me to continually evaluate and understand what the priorities are, and to remind myself why it’s so important that we all continue our work in this area.

@fu My profile says "Member since: 2015-01-26 22:56:44" 😱

@liaizon@social.wake.st he responded to me via DM when I was talking about context relocation and removal FEPs. He finished off his reply with "I'm not part of your fediverse any more.", so I take it as a sign he's taking a break at minimum.

I just learned that #Libranet.de is the longest running #ActivityPub server on the 'verse.
source: fediverse.observer/list
note: above says we've been here ~9 year. Per Wikipedia AP has only existed 7 years, and friendica only added support 6 years ago. Friendica first launched 15 years ago. I also see many other #Friendica instances showing the same 105 month old age, so this may have been when the website first added support, originally it was called poduptime and only included Diaspora* pods.

@savetoleen I understand how incredibly hard it is in your situation there. and I wouldn't want people to think your account isn't legitimate. if you see someone make a post about something and your reply is unrelated, your gonna get a lot of people blocking you or thinking you are spam, even if otherwise they might be supportive of your cause. I know that sounds harsh but there has been a large amount of people here seeking help so sadly there is much competition for peoples donations
