I published the following post on the @wceh site and the Edmonton #WordPress Meetup site (wpyeg.ca) via #WordLand (wordland.social). WPYEG.ca is federated with #activitypub, so people following it on platforms like Mastodon can see it too. (For example, edmontonian.social, mstdn.ca, ottawa.place, and wptoots.social.)

Jeden Verein, jede Organisation, der oder die Wordpress einsetzt, muss man eigentlich nur umwerben, das #Wordpress-Plugin #ActivityPub einzusetzen. Schon allein dadurch wüchse das Fediverse binnen Wochen um (regional) relevanten Content und lokale Communities. Das könnte man als eine kettenbriefartige Kampagne anlegen bzw. als Mitmach-Challenge. Ein kleines Video-Tutorial, fertig. @_elena @kuketzblog Wie wär's? 1/x

Today I stumbled upon Wanderer, a self-hosted trail database It's quite timely as I was a big fan of Komoot, until its recent acquisition by Bending Spoons, who has since laid off most of the team, so it's good to know there is an alternative, which is both open-source and supports ActivityPub. https://wanderer.to/ #Komoot #SelfHosting #ActivityPub

The #fediverse family just grew! You now can share and interact with trails using #wanderer ! I love this a lot!
The federation feature just got released, so check it out and if you want contribute: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer
In the screenshot attached you can see a post by @demo, how cool is that?!

Hurray, fedizens!

Another #FediverseIdea come true

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediverse-ideas/issues/54

See: https://wanderer.to

wanderer, a self hosted trail logging app, has added federation via ActivityPub. You can now follow, like and comment on trails shared from other instances.

How to Host Your Own #Mastodon Server on a #VPS (5 Minute Quick-Start Guide)

This article provides a guide for how to host your own Mastodon server on a VPS.

Running your own Mastodon server on a VPS is an excellent way to enjoy an efficient and secure Mastodon experience.
What is Mastodon?
Mastodon is a #decentralized social media platform that enables users to post ...

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

I'm thinking of moving Rusted Neuron (my tiny-almost-one-person-except-for-a-couple-of-friends-who-barely-use-it #Mastodon instance) to #GotoSocial.

I'd appreciate input from anyone who's done the migration and knows what the pitfalls are or who are experts on GotoSocial.

Things I'm particularly concerned about:

* I know I must use a different URL because of the way #ActivityPub works, but can it be the same TLD?

* Do standard copy backups fail on the SQLite files? (File locking?)

»#PostQuantumPrivacy for #PostPlatformInternet. — #Fediverse pilots: #ActivityPub with #Dilithiumsignatures. While #Mastodon and other ActivityPub servers still use #RSA-#HTTP-#Signatures by default, developers in the #SocialHub community are working on a #FEP (Fediverse Enhancement Proposal) to clarify signature processing and accommodate #quantumsafealgorithms.« https://hackernoon.com/post-quantum-privacy-for-post-platform-internet?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

To the deadly 7 #UX sins of the #ActivityPub #Fediverse listed by @tchambers I'd add the cardinal sin:

"What are we building actually?"

https://www.timothychambers.net/2025/06/18/113327.html

The final form of the #GoActivityPub library that deals with the processing of Activities will most likely be a state machine with pluggable states based on "activity type" x "object type" pairs.

This ensures calling code can inject its own processing if it has custom vocabulary, or fallback to the ActivtiyPub specification defaults.

How to combine the two without having conflicts might be more difficult though.

noob question. Does @pixelfed and Mastodon play nice when moving. ie: can I move an account from Mastodon to Pixelfed and bring our followers with us ?

For anyone that can't come to my talk at #ForwardJS in #Ottawa tonight, check out my slides and run the speaker notes through the shittiest text to speech you can find to get a similar experience.
