<p>This release introduces a redesigned Followers table that’s easier to navigate and customize—hide columns, change how many entries you see, or remove followers directly. Migrations are now simpler: just paste in a WebFinger ID or profile URL, and the plugin takes care of the rest. We’ve also fixed an issue where old, unfederated posts could be mistakenly re-sent—those will now stay quiet unless they’re recent. Plus, lots of behind-the-scenes improvements for a smoother experience.</p>

This release is mostly made up of behind-the-scenes improvements, but one update you’ll notice right away is the refreshed Followers table. It now looks and feels much more like the standard WordPress admin tables: you can customize it with screen options to hide columns or change how many followers are shown per page, and you can now delete individual followers using inline action links. We also polished the layout by increasing information density and improving the readability of date columns.

We’ve made migrations easier to kick off by automatically resolving account aliases and saving their ID form. That means you can now paste in WebFinger IDs, profile URLs, etc. and the plugin handles the rest, as long as it resolves to an ActivityPub profile.

This release also fixes a long-time annoyance: unfederated posts (like those published before the plugin was activated or imported later) will no longer be sent out to followers just because they were updated. For now, we use a simple cutoff for posts older than a month, which should cover the majority of those cases.

Coming Soon: Following Others!

Most of the work that went into this release is still invisible, hiding behind a feature flag in Advanced Settings (you can find it by opening Screen Options in the ActivityPub settings screen).

There’s really no functionality around it yet, beyond following accounts from other instances, as we have yet to start processing incoming posts and adding the ability to interact with them. But if you just can’t wait to show your appreciation for other accounts by following them, go wild!

Behind the same feature flag, we’ve also added initial beta support for Fediverse Starter Kits. This lets new users follow a set of recommended accounts from a predefined list, following the format proposed by @dansup for Pixelfed. For now, only Actor objects are supporteded, but we’re hoping to expand that over time.

Full Changelog

Added

Added a first version of the Follow form, allowing users to follow other Actors by username or profile link.
Added initial support for Fediverse Starter Kits, allowing users to follow recommended accounts from a predefined list.
Ensure that all schedulers are registered during every plugin update.
Followers and Following list tables now support Columns and Pagination screen options.
The featured tags endpoint is now available again for all profiles, showing the most frequently used tags by each user.
The following endpoint now returns the actual list of users being followed.

Changed

Follower tables now look closer to what other tables in WordPress look like.
Improved Account-Aliases handling by internally normalizing input formats.
Minor performance improvement when querying posts of various types, by avoiding double queries.
Set older unfederated posts to local visibility by default.
Step counts for the Welcome checklist now only take into account steps that are added in the Welcome class.
Table actions are now faster by using the Custom Post Type ID instead of the remote user URI, thanks to the unified Actor Model.
The following tables now more closely match the appearance of other WordPress tables and can be filtered by status.

Fixed

Ensure correct visibility handling for Undo and Follow requests
Ensure that the Actor-ID is always a URL.
Fixed a bug in how follow requests were accepted to ensure they work correctly.
Fixed an issue where the number of followers shown didn’t always match the actual follower list.
Fixed a PHP error that prevented the Follower overview from loading.
Fixed missing avatar class so that CSS styles are correctly applied to ActivityPub avatars on the Dashboard.
Fixed potential errors when unrelated requests get caught in double-knocking callback.
Improved WebFinger fallback to better guess usernames from profile links.
Prevent WordPress from loading all admin notices twice on ActivityPub settings pages.
Removed follower dates to avoid confusion, as they may not have accurately reflected the actual follow time.
Stop purging Follow activities from the Outbox to allow proper Unfollow (Undo) handling.

if you are not following @FediFollows and checking their timeline for new people, communities and organizations to follow, you are not doing the bare minimum of #fediversing

yes, i verbbed #fediverse

if y’all have the coins, throw some their way, BUT! if y’all are part of the sundry organizations giving money to #FOSS initiatives, i urge you to think outside of the software development box. please fund the work of people and groups like FediFollows. without it, FOSS is just lines of code.

https://Fedi.Garden doesn't just list Mastodon servers, it also lists servers from other kinds of Fediverse platforms.

If you run a Fediverse server and it is compatible with the requirements (https://fedi.garden/about-this-site/), please message me if you would like to be listed.

At the moment people sign up via the list on JoinMastodon so they tend to only see Mastodon servers. I'm trying to create a platform-neutral alternative while still having some curation and listing requirements.

As the website notes, it's compatible with many Mastodon and also many other Fediverse platforms (https://fedicat.com/about).

It's not in the app store yet, but you can sign up for its beta testing via Apple TestFlight:

Exactly one year ago, I launched the snac instance of BSD Cafe: https://snac.bsd.cafe

Some users gave it a try and decided to self-host. Others have kept it as a secondary account, while some use it regularly.

Happy anniversary, snac.bsd.cafe - and thanks to @grunfink for the ongoing development and improvement, always staying true to the principles of simplicity and integrity.

🆕 blog! “Now witness the power of this fully operational Fediverse!”

How can you measure the popularity of a social network site? Perhaps by counting the number of active accounts, or the quality of the discourse, or even how many people reply to your witty memes.

Me? I prefer to look at how many people visit my blog…

Here's a thought, the more I make my blog compatible with the fediverse, at some point I can just use my blog instead of mastodon right? What would the benefit be to have a separate mastodon account? #fediverse #activitypub #mastodon

We'd like to recognize the valuable contributions from two developers who participated in Korea's #OSSCA (Open Source Contribution Academy) program. Both contributors identified important gaps in #Fedify's functionality and documentation, providing thoughtful solutions that benefit the broader #ActivityPub ecosystem.

@gaebalgom contributed PR #365, addressing issue #353 regarding NodeInfo parser compatibility, originally reported by @andypiper. The issue arose when Fedify incorrectly rejected #NodeInfo documents from snac instances due to overly strict version string parsing that required semantic versioning compliance. Their solution improves the fallback behavior in the parseSoftware() function to handle non-SemVer version strings by parsing dot-separated numbers and defaulting to zero for missing components. The implementation includes thorough test coverage for various edge cases, including single numbers (3), two-part versions (2.81), and malformed version strings. This fix provides immediate compatibility improvements across the fediverse while maintaining backward compatibility, and will be included in Fedify 1.9. The contribution serves as an interim solution, with a more comprehensive fix planned for Fedify 2.0 (issue #366), where the NodeInfo software.version field will be changed from the SemVer type to a plain string to fully comply with the NodeInfo specification.

@z9mb1 contributed PR #364, resolving issue #337 by adding practical examples for Fedify's custom collection dispatchers feature. Custom collections were introduced in Fedify 1.8 but lacked clear documentation for developers seeking to implement them. Their contribution provides a comprehensive example demonstrating how to set up custom collections for tagged posts, including proper routing patterns, pagination handling, and counter functionality. The example includes mock data structures, shows how to configure collection dispatchers with URL patterns like /users/{userId}/tags/{tag}, and demonstrates the complete request/response cycle using federation.fetch(). This work provides developers with a clear, runnable reference that reduces the complexity of implementing custom collections in ActivityPub applications.

We appreciate these meaningful contributions that help make Fedify more accessible and robust for the entire ActivityPub community.

Had a wonderful time today at our second FediDev KR #sprint (@sprints.fedidev.kr) gathering at Turing's Apple (@TuringAppleDev) in #Seoul!

We spent the day contributing to various #fediverse open source projects including @fedify, @hollo, and Hackers' Pub. It was fantastic to see the community come together to build and improve tools for the decentralized social web.

Our participants made some great contributions, and you can read all about what we accomplished in today's blog post.

Looking forward to our next sprint!
