In other words, #ActivityPub and #DataSpaces alike tools for all the things . Solid pods are brilliant btw - I got to work on a client project some months ago and I think the technology is already usable, with a lot more to come.

Via @ieeespectrum:

"Web 3.0 is poised to change this dynamic by returning ownership to the data owners. This is not speculative; it’s already emerging. For example, #ActivityPub the protocol behind decentralized social networks like Mastodon, combines content sharing with built-in attribution."

Did anybody manage to follow a Wordpress site using the ActivityPub Event Bridge from Mobilizon?

All I get is "This instance is pending follow approval" from Mobilizon and no sign of any following request in Wordpress.

The idea of Mastodon instances may be a bit confusing for new users, but it's not that complicated and once you understand, you'll be able to choose the right instance for yourself:

“Mastodon’s developers — many of whom were queer and trans — did not enjoy the privilege of living the totally open life: they needed privacy and safety, means to protect themselves from harassment.”

Which led to particular choices that were made for #ActivityPub. Good ones imho.

How much can I extend an OrderedCollection?

Just an idle thought... A common UX is users copying the URL in the address bar and pasting it into their fediverse app to load it in their app.

Right now if you copy a NodeBB topic (/topic/12345) and paste it into something like Mastodon, you'll get nothing because it is an ordered collection and it doesn't know how to handle it.

But... what if I passed in a preview property a la @evan@cosocial.ca's b2b8 and it contained a Note? Maybe a note with a different id? Maybe with a name?

Waiting for @trwnh@mastodon.social to tell me this is a terrible idea.

New version (v1.1.0) of #FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, has a toggle switch to allow or disallow the selection of more than one filter option for when you're checking out your favourite hashtags.

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

Stories might be our most complex feature yet (harder than Collections, Groups, Portfolios combined).

But they're everywhere - Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn. People expect them.

Love them or hate them, they're how we share moments.

@pixelfed is doing Stories ethically - no tracking, no ads, just authentic sharing.

The future is federated.
