Is anyone using https://fedify.dev? Has it been good for you in production? I have a tiny app idea that would be an excellent fit for activitypub, but I also don't want to spend too much time implementing the federation bits.
activitypub
✨📸 Vernissage 1.25.0 is now available!
This update introduces several new features and improvements:
- Added Licenses management (API + settings pages)
- New "Supporter" tag for users
- "Administrator" and "Moderator" badges on profiles
- Fixed issue with max image limit in posts
- Refactored settings update endpoint
- Adjusted trending content limits and resolved SQL issue
It “only” took me a few years to find out that I don’t need to have a PeerTube or Lemmy account to interact with them; I just need to copy/paste the link in Mastodon search and then follow or reply.
Why no one is saying this little detail FIRST to all the n00bs coming from the Horror socials? After this you can explain the fediverse; Now Activity Pub makes so much sense to an atechnical person.

Is there already an ActivityPub vocabulary for job openings, or cvs?
I'm trying to make my CV-webpage more visible, and also create a job-bot, that everyone can set up with their sources, and queries.
Obviously the idea is, to help people find jobs, and fill vacancies, without having to resort to a centralized network, like e.g. LinkedIn.
I'm aware of these efforts, though they're not ActivityPub related:

Meet Loops — a new, federated TikTok alternative that’s open-source and self-hosted.
Every movement begins with a spark.
Loops is that spark — breaking down the walls built around creativity and replacing them with doors anyone can open, explore, and build upon.
Join us and spread the word!
Anyone have experience using #Snac2 for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.
This is how the new Loops app Notifications screen looks like.
Notice the lack of webfinger addresses, and the instant action buttons like Reply and Like?
All of these notifications are from remote accounts, but we hide the complexity of federation and only show the relevant details.
Pretty cool eh?
I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub
There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.

I've just published version 2.84 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. This time, it includes mostly work by great, brilliant fellow developers while I was just sitting on the porch with the cats on my lap and a beer in my hand:
Implemented more scopes to match other ActivityPub implementations (public, unlisted, followers-only and direct message) (contributed by byte).
New icons showing instance and actor failures.
Mastodon API: Added remote accounts follow metrics and statuses when viewing profiles (contributed by Stefano Marinelli), fixed post deletion.
Fixed outbox collection (contributed by byte).
New file FEDERATION.md (contributed by andypiper).
Updated Czech, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese translations (contributed by pmjv and daltux).
Fixed manpage typos (contributed by r-ricci).

If you ever wanted to know what the largest group of losers on the #internet is, look no further than #4chan.
A site and userbase that all pridefully stand on the soapbox that their site is the end-all-be-all in free speech and lack of #censorship.
buuuuut.
If I ever get sick of Mastodon, Lemmy and Pixelfed, there's one thing I can do that I can't do on 4chan,
at least I can get all of my money back.
all $0 of it.

buuuuut.
several boards have baked-in trigger words, some of them over a decade old that will ban or deny your threads or comments by default
no #VPN use or you'll be banned for trying(if their detection can tell)
you have to wait 300 seconds if the system doesn't have a cookie for you to post at thread, and 200 to post a comment, and sometimes it resets for no reason.
unless you pay hard, earned currency for it in the name of cash or #crypto
and give an #email address that likely connects to your real identity

In the upcoming release you will be able to follow any blog on the XMPP network directly by clicking on the [Follow] button without being mutually friends (like it was until now), its a small change but with big impacts 😁!
We wrote a detailed and accessible article that explains the differences between the #XMPP network and the #Fediverse and shows how blogs are handled on the XMPP network a bit more in details 😸
If you are curious to see how XMPP works (spoiler: it's pretty simple in the end 😌) checkout our article (and don't forget to leave a ♥️ or a comment!

Sciety is bridging preprints and open social networks. Our latest integration with @bonfire enables you to start a discussion on Sciety and federate anywhere; meeting researchers wherever they already are.

It's been a while!
All https://fedihost.co/ #PeerTube instances have been upgraded to v7.3.0
Find out what's new in 7.3.0
https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases
ps: #Mastodon v4.5.0 to follow shortly!
Just opened an issue for a major new task for #Fedify: building an #interoperability smoke test suite.
To ensure Fedify-built servers federate correctly with the wider #fediverse, we're planning to run automated E2E tests in #CI against live instances of Mastodon, Misskey, and more. This is crucial for a framework's reliability.
You can see the full plan and discussion here:
All https://fedihost.co #Mastodon instances have been updated to v4.5.0
Big new changes are the new quote posts and remote replies fetching.

RE: https://fietkau.software/daily_rucks/ap/activity/2025-11-08
I have added Mastodon-style (FEP-044f) quote post compatibility to my @DailyRucks bot. You can now quote post the daily voice lines as much as you want! 🥳
This would be noteworthy on its own if there weren't already a bunch of non-Mastodon implementations, but I'm actually late to the party. WordPress, Bonfire, micro.blog, dotmakeup, and ActivityBot all got there before I did.
However, I think my approach is novel for being *stateless*. Thread incoming.
