I'm unable to pull this up and boost here. Was able to get the whole stream on a Glitch-soc box np, and I can follow the curator here too, but I'm too tired to try testing on Hubzilla or Friendica at the moment; so I'll just post the link then, which may be of interest to some, ... Actually, I suspect, many.
We've had some discussions about this over in the Fediverse-City Matrix room, Where Ryan is also a participant. It's apropos of the recent onboarding with respect to Flipboard curators and also the nacent interoperability we're experiencing with Bluesky's ATP.
😂 That was odd! When I mentioned @darnell on my #WordPress blog, it pinged my #Flipboard account on my iPhone even though #ActivityPub is not yet activated (I received a push notification, which later revealed nothing 😆).
Are there any #ActivityPub blogging services that automatically slice up long posts into 500-character (maximum), threaded posts when you publish? I like the idea of an ActivityPub compatible blog but I know a lot of people (myself included) aren't wild about huge, 10K character posts showing up on their feed.
I can imagine a service like this that provides a clean looking article when viewed on the originating site, but provides threaded posts on the federated TL.
Maybe this already exists?
If you are a #Threads user aged 18+ with a public profile, you can choose to share your posts to other #ActivityPub-compliant servers. Read more on how we're continuing to integrate Threads into the fediverse, our technical challenges and the solutions we've uncovered along the way.

#Fedify's tutorial, which previously assumed you were using #Deno, can now be followed using #Node.js and #Bun! (What is Fedify? It's an ActivityPub server framework.)
However, they are written for Fedify 0.8.0, which hasn't been released yet. You can test it with the pre-release version, 0.8.0-dev.164, though.
Very happy to announce that @tomcoates and I have been given a #SummerOfProtocols grant to develop an end-to-end encryption (E2EE) protocol for #ActivityPub DMs, including a reference implementation and a report to submit to the W3C SocialCG.
Okay, so another set of stats now that April is over.
As I've said before, I am posting concurrently to Pixefed and Instagram to see what the differences are.
Let's break it down by month first. Here are average likes by month for the year to date:
January - Insta 20 / Pixelfed 8
February - Insta 21 / Pixelfed 8
March - Insta 27 / Pixelfed 11
April - Insta 26 / Pixelfed 9
Year to date, we're averaging 23.7 likes per post on Insta and 9.1 likes per post on Pixelfed.
When he built a bridge to connect Bluesky to Mastodon and other ActivityPub-powered platforms, @snarfed.org@snarfed.org started a new chapter for the fediverse. The software engineer opens up to @mike about his rollercoaster ride in the latest episode of Dot Social:
Groups of people just coming up with new ideas, new designs, new innovations.
Not Google vs Apple vs Facebook and no one else.
This is pretty amazing. This list has grown tremendously since I started checking out the #Fediverse in I think like 2017. This just blows me away and makes me excited again for the internet.
If you're still using Substack for your newsletter and want to migrate to Ghost, which has announced that it will join the fediverse this year, here's a step-by-step guide by @wes. It covers costs, what you'll need, setting up Mailgun and Cloudflare, how to move over your posts and subscribers and numerous other helpful details.
I was thinking what would it look like if a Flohmarkt instance pulled in a @bookwyrm book to list as an item to sell. How would that make the most sense to represent through #ActivityPub?
I just had a radio flavored #activitypub idea. lets say I wanted to share a list of radio stations I like listening to: What if I had a list of them and each one was marked up in AP as a favorite that was linked to being a favorite of my account here maybe with rel="me" but like rel"my-stations" or something. and then other fediverse accounts could follow my list & automatically receive a OPML, PLS or M3U with all my stations that they could open in Transister or VLC or any app that supported it
#Ghost to popularny system bloga z newsletterem, niektórzy twierdzą, że na odwrót, alternatywa dla WordPress, popularna za granicą, u nas mniej, bo nie wystarczy mu biedahosting z PHP (inb4: kocham PHP i tanie czy darmowe hostingi).
Chyba stwierdzili, że #Fediwersum się jednak przyjmie, bo nie tylko zaimplementują #ActivityPub w systemie, ale również piszą czytnik, który w końcu sensownie będzie pokazywał Artykuły (tak, Mastodon od lat NIE CHCE tego zrobić, trzyma się Notki jak Twitter i blokuje tym rozwój Fedi, tzn. jego popularność, Mastodona, w mojej ocenie).
Reposts are now done in #Smithereen. You can only make "quote-posts", not Announce reposts because Announce is too confusing and doesn't fit my vision. However, Announce reposts are no longer this half-assed thing like they were before. They now show up in people's profiles and use a different icon from my native reposts.
I was looking at implementing #ActivityPub with #dasblog a while back, and I admittedly struggled and lost my enthusiasm for the project. However, I have found @mapache explanations and tutorials incredibly helpful and intuitive.
DasBlog is not static so some of this does not apply, but enough does, and for the rest I can easily overlap gaps with the rich blogging engine. I am currently on step 5, this is happening!
The EU Voice pilot that hosted Mastodon and Peertube instance for the EU over the last 2 years will come to an end. The @EU_Commission account will continue to be active and grow their Mastodon presence.
Ghost announces a major push for fediverse support, adding #Activitypub to their posts and building an ActivityPub powered news reader app.
