Oh, what a day! Spent afternoon trying to make #ghost connecting with #activitypub (so far, no success), my #ssh connection keeps dropping off, so that needs fixing - but I am so looking forward to write and publish again...but this time, in my own, self-hosted corner of the #internet .
Nobody around me thinks of the #digitalsovereignty , so it's time to let people know why it's important.
Also looking into #SmallWeb , #indieweb , #blogroll and connected topics.
Fascinating stuff.

Can we have an #activitypub clone of #stumbleupon? As a treat?

I'm a big fan of Sill, a service that connects to your Mastodon account in read-only mode (and your ATProto account, if you're so inclined), and then sends you a daily newsletter with popular links! (i.e. that had lots of reboosts among your follows)

Now that's my beloved free software

🆕 blog! “Some updates to ActivityBot”

I couple of years ago, I developed ActivityBot - the simplest way to build Mastodon Bots. It is a single PHP file which can run an entire ActivityPub server and it is less than 80KB.

It works! You can follow @openbenches to see the latest entries on OpenBenches.org, and @colours for a …

The author of a replied post is no longer added to the CC: line, as it does not have much sense.

Fixed mentions for users with hyphens in their identifiers.

Unlisted replies to unknown posts were being skipped from the timeline, so don't do that.

If an actor marked as broken gets a post boosted (proving that is [back] functioning), it's unmarked as such.

Don't try (and fail) to parse non-UTC dates in posts (I'll provide a real fix eventually).

Fixed a redirection loop in the /users alias.

Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made changing the sensitive content string impossible, avatars and headers can be deleted (contributed by bm90).

Updated Czech and Italian translations (contributed by pmjv and fidiben).

Honored to be one of ten maintainers in the first @sovtechfund standards cohort.

I'll be representing #ActivityPub and the #fediverse at the w3c, bringing eight years of running Pixelfed and Loops at scale into the room where the spec gets written.

To those not aware I would like to point out two relevant @forgejo locations where contributions can be readily made..

The delightful #forgejo curated list, where #FOSS contributions can be added via a PR or by creating a new issue in the repo's issue tracker:

https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-forgejo/

And the forgejo-contrib organization, where among others the #ActivityPub based forge federation project is taking shape:

https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/

Related to the latter, I'd also like to give attention to the #ForgeFed ActivityPub protocol extension, which is really promising but needs an impetus from the community to bring the specifications to a higher level of maturity, and get good reference implementations to help open standard adoption:
