pixelfed, Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using #ActivityPub
We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!
Are you ready for #Loops ?
ricmac, Fascinating look at how #ActivityPub is being used by the SFO art museum to help encourage revisiting its cultural objects. Still early days, but you can see the potential here -> “The reason I am telling you all of this is that SFO Museum has written it's own limited ActivityPub server implementation and we have, in fact, created an ActivityPub account – a social media, account – for every object in our collection.” https://orthis.social/@thisisaaronland/112339899293624779

I found the email from MONA - from 2015 !
It goes to https://theo.artpro.net.au/login/
and after entering my email I got sent a fresh link and can see my tour again.
Shall I say that again?
2015
At my work, the IT people can't ever manage any web system change without breaking every link, over and over again for as long as we've had web systems.
(I've been there 35 years so that's only part of my time.)
So a tip o' the hat to MONA for this one!
janxdevil, @ricmac I am reminded of the time I was out for a stroll in Tufello, a neighborhood near our apartment in Rome, and I came across a set of tiles in the sidewalk that contained a URL, so I typed it into my mobile web browser and found the cultural heritage museum for the neighborhood. And I’m thinking now about the several million interesting little bits of Rome that are in the collections of a vast array of museums and museum adjacent institutions for which it would be cool to have an ActivityPub account I could follow. I feel a burning need right now for an official Pasquino account, for example.
cliffwade, Good morning and happy Saturday everyone here in the #Fediverse today.
It's the weekend, so let's talk about what our plans are for the next couple of days.
For me, it's just a weekend to rest and relax and enjoy the days. I'll be playing some Horizon Forbidden West as well as No Rest For The Wicked.
Other than that, not much else planned.
#MorningMoments #GoodMorning #HappySaturday #VideoGames #HorizonForbiddenWest
cliffwade, @Bianca These are just two of the dishes from the last time we went in 2021.
That bowl of macaroni and cheese could seriously feed two people.
That burger is a double and you see how little of the knife is left showing.
The bowl of mashed potatoes are enough for two as well especially with all of that melted cheese they put on top.
cliffwade, @Bianca Couple more photos. Again, a huge double cheeseburger and that chicken pot pie is absolutely enormous and a meal for 2 people, easily.
dansup, Loops onboarding screens are done!
ultrasquid, @dansup why is the highlighted tab smaller than the non-highlighted ones? In most UIs I've seen, it's the other way around.
dansup,
dave, #activitypub It seems like we will need to define a Podcast ActivityStreams object type. I’ve been trying to see if we can just transmute a podcast into an Audio or Video object type. But the loss of fidelity is so high. I think a dedicated object type is going to be pretty necessary.
evan, @dave happy to have this discussion. Let's do some brainstorming!
evan, @dave let's collaborate on a doc for this. I think this would be the kind of thing the SocialCG at W3C would want to support.
danie10, GoToSocial is a new ActivityPub social network server for the Fediverse
This service is still in Alpha release but is already deployable and usable, and federates with other Fediverse servers.
However, there is no “main” instance you go to join. The intention really is that you host your own instance for yourself and ...continues

zalasur, Today it's a technology stream! I'll be setting up a Synapse server and will try to get it federated.
Once we get this done, my next stream will be.... drum roll Dwarf Fortress!

#PeerTube #Stream #Streaming #Tech #Technology #Synapse #Matrix
zalasur, So good news, the stream from my laptop to peertube was successful with few technical hiccups.
I wish I could say the same for the Synapse install. Out of memory issues and really slow loading times led me to the conclusion that I should probably explore alternatives. I have some ideas but I have to think about it for a while. I'm leaning towards Conduit but we'll see when I can try that.
beardedtechguy, Good Saturday morning #Fediverse clan.
Let’s get together for our daily #KoffeeWithKyle discussion and see what we all have going on today.
I’ll be packing and getting ready for the trip. Have to get all my tech things together. I also need to get a school assignment done for today.
cliffwade, @beardedtechguy Good morning sir!
I personally don't have much of anything going on this weekend at all. Just some video games and then preparing for Monday!
Hope the packing goes well and here's to hoping you don't forget anything. Enjoy your time there!
beardedtechguy, @cliffwade I have a bad habit of forgetting at least something. It never fails.
janettespeyer, Happy Saturday! Here’s my latest article on how to find and interact with your Flipboard federated account on Mastodon with a tutiorial video. I also help you get started on the Fediverse with Flipboard social. #fediverse #flipboard #mastodon #community #flipboard_user_group
salvomic, Thank you! Very useful and interesting article
janettespeyer, @salvomic my pleasure Salvo!
InternetIsScary, French The fediverse is amazing!
I can’t get over how cool it is to view my posts from any server. I’m definitely going to use activitypub for my social media I’m planning on making. I was going to use @Discourse , but considering it’s like #GitLab where you are only able to self host and each instance of discourse can’t interconnect makes me kinda sad. But activitypub seems like the only way I feel happy in both ways.
Iapar, ❤️
sugar_in_your_tea, (edited ) What’s that about Gitlab? I use it hosted, and it can be self-hosted, so I’m not sure what the issue is.
Honestly, I don’t find a lot of value in the fediverse generally. I guess it’s kinda cool that things connect together, but URLs also get the job done pretty well, and cookies and password managers handle logins and stuff between platforms. The real value is in being an alternative to the big, centralized services.
I’m not here because of the fediverse, I’m here because Reddit pissed me off almost a year ago and this is a suitable-enough replacement. Seeing my posts on other platforms is honestly a little odd (in theory) because having a post from one context (say lemmy) appear in another (say git hosting) is often not wanted. So I want separation between different types of social media (e.g. I avoid Mastodon because I don’t like that form), not more sharing. But that’s not a real concern, it’s just not why I use it.
That said, I have no idea what kind of social media project you’re working on, so maybe federation is the perfect fit. The fediverse is certainly a good way to quickly build an audience and generate content.
Note about my projectFor my social media project, I’m looking at p2p, because I’m more worried about scaling and longevity. Lemmy can get expensive to host due to duplication, so a big instance going down due to funding can fragment communities (though old data will live on any instance federated with that community). My project will use user devices for most data storage and retrieval, and a handful of (hopefully community funded) storage instances for availability and backups. There’s a lot less duplication, so hosting will be a fraction of what Lemmy costs since most data will be served by people near you. The only infra I’ll need is: - relay nodes to connect people - mostly short-lived STUN connections, but TURN will be supported for people behind CGNAT - backup storage nodes - I plan to only store less popular, older content And since I’ll only be handling text at first (pictures and whatnot will just be URLs), it should be really cheap. And that’s it. If I lose interest, someone probably already has their own storage nodes (lots of data hoarders out there) and can easily take over.
janette_speyer, Happy Saturday! Here’s my latest article on how to find and interact with your Flipboard federated account on Mastodon with a tutiorial video. I also help you get started on the Fediverse with Flipboard social. #fediverse #flipboard #mastodon #community
grindhold, #flohmarkt 's compatibility problems with the #misskey family of softwares (#iceshrimp #firefish #calckey ) should be a thing of the past now.
hankg, Sorry, I had to procrastinate more by making a detailed sampling of the Facebook timeline shiteousness. I understated it. Scrolling through 102 postsafter a refresh the breakdown was: 3 from my follows, 79 "suggestions",19 ads, 1 reels item (this time just once but often that comes up multiple times). Worse, posts from my follows only occured in the first 10. The suggestions started off not bad but then got horrible. Ads were universally garbage. Thank god for the fediverse! #fediverse #facebook #enshitification
knowprose, @hankg wow. I knew it was shitty when I left but didn't know it was that shitty. 👀
schmaker, @hankg Holly focken shit!
Thanks for the visualisation, it ilustrates pretty well how useless that platform is
hongminhee, I'm working on adding a CLI toolchain to #Fedify to help with debugging. The first feature I implemented is the ActivityPub object lookup.
Here's a demo.
hongminhee, @mariusor First of all, the library itself does not have this feature — only the CLI toolchain has it.
And these services fortunately do not require signing up! So it does not share any account of them.
mariusor, @hongminhee TIL. Thank you.
stu, Good morning 🌅 #fediverse and #allthingstech
Hope you all have a wonderful #Saturday !!!
I'm going to the rents this morning to do some outside work 😎
cliffwade, @stu Good morning sir! I hope you enjoy the time at the parents house and hopefully get all the stuff done you need to get done.
stu, @cliffwade thanks man 😊
Aakerbeere, German 💬 Vor genau ZWEI Jahren schwappte die erste GROSSE Welle vom verkauften Vogel ins #FEDIVERSE rüber und ließ einige Server heiß laufen...
Wer von EUCH ist mit der ersten Welle gekommen und ist immer noch da?
Macht mal "Peep" 😉
lehrerseele, German Ich glaube, ich gehöre erst zur zweiten Welle... Ich bin hergekommen, als der Vogel die Tweets einschränkte.
daswarkeinhuhn, @Aakerbeere peep
darnell, I am half way through watching the interview of @pfefferle by @deadsuperhero & it is really good!
📹 S1 Episode 8: WordPress-ActivityPub with Matthias Pfefferle https://spectra.video/w/nVQAzfWyC64DUfqGQcnCfp
I thought it was interesting that when @photomatt was focued on bringing #ActivityPub to #Tumblr, Pfefferle advocated introducing #WordPress to the #Fediverse en mass.
shanesemler, @pfefferle @darnell @deadsuperhero @photomatt @wedistributemedia @hello You tell me. I’m not a dev. All I know is that every time I’ve tried to make a blog with it, it was an awful, confusing, complicated, messy experience. And everyone always suggests it, like it the obvious, default choice. It’s one of the reasons I gave up trying to have my own website. I’m not a fan.
pfefferle, @shanesemler @darnell @deadsuperhero @photomatt @wedistributemedia @hello that’s totally fine! But not an argument against bringing WordPress to the fediverse ☺️
jwildeboer, (edited ) TIL that this is the official #ActivityPub logo. Not sure where I am going to use it, but good to know :)

beardedtechguy, I am looking for things, preferably free to cheap things, to do while I am in Vegas next week for a conference.
Suggestions would be great! BOOSTs would be appreciated to help spread across the #Fediverse.
RL_Dane, @CosmicTraveler @ptrchas3 @beardedtechguy
Ah, didn't realize that :)
mdmrn, @beardedtechguy Boosting - but I know nothing of Vegas. So, hope you get some help.
tk, I'm sad because I'll more than likely never see any #Fedi friends again. :blobfoxgooglycry: #Fediverse
steve, It seems like the #ActivityPub Recommendation primarily focuses on behaviors related to received Activities, especially in an S2S federation context. Exceptions include inbox forwarding (7.1.2), shared inbox delivery (7.1.3), and broadcast of public messages to all known servers (7.1.3). However, for specific activities, like Delete, the behavior related to sending them is unspecified (e.g. which recipients should be included and so on). Am I missing something?
NotTheOnlyGamer, Is it just Kbin, or does every fediverse service have the issue of being totally swarmed with bots advertising illegal pharmaceuticals? Is this just the result of limited moderation?
drwho, I haven’t seen it on any of the instances I hang out on.
ScreaminOctopus, I’ve heard kbin.social is having issues since the creator has needed to step away due to personal reasons. It might be best to find an mbin instance to migrate to.
wjmaggos, (edited ) If every article, podcast episode and video was natively an #ActivityPub post, we'd need quote posts but want them to operate differently. They should count as a boost but with a clear indication that the person you are following also wants you to see their comment. How should that look? Maybe they wouldn't themselves be boostable... #SocialWeb
gimulnautti, @wjmaggos Interesting concept. Perhaps boosting should be off by default, but by accepting the author could make quote posts boostable again? 🤔
#fediverse #quoteposts
to3k, Polish 🇬🇧 Are there any people in the #fediverse who are interested in #speedway or are somehow connected to the community? From my bubble I know one person for sure, but I'm looking for more to follow 😉 If you know someone please give handle 😉
🇵🇱 Czy są w #fediverse ludzie, którzy interesują się #żużel lub są jakoś powiązani z tym środowiskiem? Z mojego grona znam na pewno jedną osobę, ale szukam więcej do obserwowania 😉 Jak kogoś znacie to dajcie proszę handle 😉
markusreuter, German Oh, das ging aber schnell. Die EU-Kommission hat angekündigt, dass das Engagement der EU im #Fediverse fortbestehen wird.
