It made me cry a little bit inside when I discovered that AOSP's SMS app doesn't support RCS despite it being an open protocol because it relies on a proprietary backend. So... RCS over ActivityPub when?

It seems Peertube is sending me `Update` activities every few hours on the hour (or rather, on the 7s or 37s), with no changes. Any idea what this is about? Perhaps view counters updating? Seems a tad noisy.

The minutes from this month's ForumWG minutes were just posted. Ironically, I need to make a separate post to reference it in this group, because we have not invented federated cross-posting yet. But soon!

Hey @[email protected], you guys are awesome. NodeBB has a Docker image that is community supported but Cloudron literally has one-click NodeBB hosting! So... ah... can you turn on ActivityPub so your forum can join fedi? :smiling_imp:

Anyone know what fediverse.blog is? Received some spam comments from them and the entire site just looks like adspam federating outward.

Bought bran flakes. I like them more than corn flakes. They are sturdier and hold up better in milk and have some texture. Also fiber. :corn: I think I am officially an old man.

@[email protected] reported a federation issue with a NodeBB instance and we debugged it. It turns out Lemmy is unable to handle actors who have `image` or `icon` set to `null`. Lemmy is taking steps to handle this (source, source), and NodeBB will update its actor logic to omit properties […]

[musing on federation controls and how they can negatively affect user experience] I think defederation (fediblocks) would be way less harmful to users if the main backend software (Mastodon, xOma, xKey, and G2S) offered more fine-grained federation controls. Currently, Mastodon has the most […]

After I formatted my phone and installed LineageOS on it, the Play Store wouldn't let me install ONEWallet, the app I used for storing cards (gift cards, memberships, etc.) So I did some searching and discovered Catima, a nice FOSS alternative! https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android

RE: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/115343246885448739 Rumors that the fediverse can't do mobile identity have been greatly exaggerated: #fep_1580 is now in draft status - https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1580/fep-1580.md This is a proposal for how to migrate all your […]

Developers building ActivityPub applications picking what AS2 object type to use when doing ActivityPub federation:

Is the only point of a fedi relay such that when you look at your "federated timeline" on a small instance, you can see much more of the fedi. You can see posts from servers you are otherwise not connected to? I've never understood them. My recommendation to fix any lack of content concerns is […]

On ActivityPub.Space, I started adding links out to various implementors' development announcements. I wanted to add one for Piefed, but the only community I know of is this one, `piefed_meta`. Anyone can post there, so I was wondering if there was a dedicated community just for Piefed […]

One regret I have about ActivityPub is that navigating reverse chronological collections is really error-prone. "first", "last", "next" and "prev" mean the opposite of what you think they mean, so it's easy to get mixed up and navigate things the wrong way. It's too late to change now, but I […]

For us Canadians, it's Thanksgiving weekend 🦃. I spent mine (besides stuffing my face with food) on the Niagara escarpment doing some single pitch sport climbing.

We just released Mastodon 4.4.6, 4.3.14, and 4.2.27. These versions contain security fixes, as well as a few other bugfixes mostly related to handling of quote posts. Full release notes and update instructions are available on the GitHub releases page […]

Finding and fixing three separate security issues in the latest Mastodon release: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.6 Now you know why I added the testing infrastructure for the ruby/streaming integration surface!

ActivityPub doesn't represent state; it represents changes in state. Git does the same thing (for the most part; there are exceptions). It represents a repository as a series of deltas from state to state.

LineageOS 23 got released, which inspired me to install it on my Pixel 5. So quick, so seamless. My favourite feature is the PIN scrambling on the lock screen. What's yours?

It's #FediForumFriday- your reminder to check in with projects you're excited about, ask for or offer help, or just chat with the folks you met and refresh the joy and motivation you felt at #fediforum. If you're interested in being part of a task force to help make Fedi more welcoming to BIPOC […]

Check this out: https://nooki.me/ Looks like someone's built a Reddit-like on top of ATProto. Would be really interesting to see whether it could interact with the threadiverse through something like BridgyFed, which currently only works with microblogs (I think?) Opportunity? Existential […]

since the masto dev team is shipping highly-requested features lately...

On a fediverse server with a versioned client API, what would you expect to happen if an API call is made with a version number higher than what the server supports? Should it return an error? Should it take it to mean its highest supported version? Something else? The API isn't RESTful, the […]

@[email protected] question for you — is there any guidance in the spec about whether `id` and `url` for a given AP object needs to be same-origin? @[email protected] and I were recently discussing this in a related context (`Link` headers specifically, for HTTP discovery) and I wasn't […]

Dear @[email protected], the Cyber security event sounded interesting, but I only heard about it on Indie88 like.. two hours before it began. Too bad! Any chance for another event centered around decentralized social media?

Just a thought as I work through some bugs reported to NodeBB... would there be interest in ActivityPub.space hosting a "security" category for discussion around vulnerabilities, CVEs, and such that are related to ActivityPub? For example, if NodeBB were to receive a bug bounty report and […]

#DisabledSocial #fediblock Concerning the harasser JimmyTruth: 1. We can block the IP address of him to stop him from signing up here, but we cannot stop him from chosing any server and signing up there. Mods in other servers need to do that. 2. We have a script running to block ASAP. This […]

@julian I would ask @Claire who is the FEP author

@[email protected] 044f specifies the use of a link to the quoted post as fallback, hidden behind `.quote-inline`. Right now Mastodon puts this top of post, and this interferes with title generation logic on NodeBB. Essentially the URL becomes the title, which is not ideal. Any chance the […]

RE: https://colours.bots.edent.tel/posts/68d87379-8e35-18be-b901-2730376a090d.json Ok, I need some #activitypub help, please. The reply to this will have links to the QuoteRequest the bot received, the QuoteAuthorization which it saves, and the Accept message it returns. Can anyone figure out […]

Here's a wish I'd love for ActivityPub. An interface that would let you have multiple columns and would let you have multiple accounts signed in. Does something like this exist?

The network of Mastodon servers is the Mastoverse. (The Mastoverse is a subset of the Fediverse. The Fediverse is made up of more than just Mastodon servers.) A person on the Mastoverse is a Mastonaut. #fediverse #mastodon #mastonaut #mastoverse

Imagine if we had a site like this for ActivityPub that wasn't just focused on monolithic servers: https://sdk.blue/

It's kinda fun watching people who haven't been following or even understanding AT Proto learn about AT Proto things and going "oh wow, that's cool" and I'm just going "we could have it so much better in ActivityPub than what we do today"

So here are some internal details of wafrn!
