microhive.social is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@dansup All tgat is nice, but the overall governance is headed the same way.
Suppression of any opinion dissenting from the PERSONAL VIEWS of moderators is rampant, and nothing points to that changing, whatsoever.
They want o be the #fediverse, the DIFFERENCE, but they behave the same as the #DTBOs
They have NOT handed power to anyone other than the people in mod positions.
We can tap dance in semantics, but this is factual, and clearly observable.
I am not criticizing the #mastodon project. I am saying the mastodon.social instance is a blight upon the very goals and ideals of it. Very different. VERY.
@dansup #fediverse ist about connecting people, not only on the user side. Would be sad if it was just about programming!
Thanks to all involved!
It's hard to focus on coding when you get so involved in conversations with fellow #fediDevs
I wouldn't change a thing though, behind these platforms are people like me, working in tandem with other projects, for you.
We're all connected, and that's what makes the #fediverse so magic.
I make it look easy, but it's the collaboration and passion of this community that make it all possible.
Together, we're building something extraordinary.
Let's keep making history together! 🚀✨
Spammers: why do you even target the fediverse?
You couldn't have picked the most spam aware demographic
And I noticed some prolific Pixelfed spammers spread to GitHub (reported and now deleted)
It's giving desperate.
Like does SEO even exist anymore with the youth using TikTok and ChatGPT for search?
Always a pleasure to chat with fellow #Fediverse developers!
Just had a productive discussion with the Ghost team about FediDB and the upcoming redesign.
Couldn't ask for better partners to build our federated future with.
So much talent and inspiration, it's iconic! ❤️

Leider war meine Idee für einen Impulsvortrag so spontan, dass Ankündigungen im Vorfeld aus blieben. sorry.
hier aber gib es ein paar Folien unter dem Titel: "Wo endet das Fediverse?"

@herr_irrtum @tobias @pattyluzina @waldstepper @tabumove @
uvm...
@dansup there really should be some way forward to incorporate "the interplanetary file system" #ipfs with #activitypub for the longterm survival of the #fediverse which would also thwart attempts to censor or regulate it out of existence... Cause you know, corporate tentacles have their ways of touching everything.
the #fediverse is the beginning
it will live beyond us, and our planet
in 100 years we will be gone, but our legacy will live on
the smallest changes or contributions could spark a whole new political or religious regime
your shitposts could be gospel to some weirdos in 100 years, so make it count
@dansup I mean isn't #Tumbr already adding #Fediverse support!?
I manage over 150K users across several platforms without any moderation issues.
How?
Automation, intelligence and ingenuity.
When you listen to and understand your community, anything is possible.
I make it look easy, because it is, when your goals are aligned and you build what you preach 🚀
How can a single person manage so many users without moderation issues?
You make history with new platforms and privacy features like Comment Controls.
You develop an industry standard for spam detection, that remains unchallenged in other open fedi projects.
You limit onboarding/growth to focus on improving safety/privacy.
You encourage people to join alternatives.
But most of all: you listen.
We are building for you, never forget that ✨
I discovered an upcoming #fediverse developer who is building a federated Tumblr.
They need support, so would you consider joining a federated tumblr?
Yes: | 0 |
No: | 0 |
Support Saturday ✨
A new trend where we share links to people or projects that need funding.
Let me go first:
- @hongminhee - Fedify + Hollo - https://github.com/sponsors/dahlia
- @peertube - PeerTube Funding - https://soutenir.framasoft.org/en/
Daily stats are now available on https://fedidb.org ✨
🚀 The Future is Federated - issue no.15 👩🚀
"If Big Tech social platforms are junk food and the Fediverse is a healthy home-cooked meal, then what is Bluesky?"

I appreciate the support and donations, and as a token of my appreciation, I am working on APSKA aka the ActivityPub Starter Kit App!
It will be compatible with AP servers that implement the MastoAPI as we use that for authentication (instead of asking for your username/password, which no 3rd party app should ever do)
Hat jemand von euch den #Fediverse Dienst #Snac schon mal ausprobiert/getestet? Ich habe gerade in der Fediverse Instanz Wolke ein seltenes Symbol gesehen und bin da mal drauf Leider habe ich keinen Screenshot von der Oberfläche gefunden Liste vieler Fediverse Zugangs Dienste - snac.smithies.me.uk
I found this nice install guide for #snac written by @eltheanine and wanted to share.
Post your favourite loops videos! ⬇️
https://loops.video has 10K+ users 🥳 🚀
@rjayasinghe @bmarwell This +100
The #fediverse is #democratic & #free as computing & networks are meant to be 🎉🌈🌻☕
I never considered how people may want to search and explore Starter Kits, so I am working on that now, and hope to collaborate with:
https://communitywiki.org/trunk
https://fedi.directory
https://fediverse.info/explore/people
It would be amazing to have a resource like this to find people with shared interests, across not only existing Starter Kits but also human curated resources like the above!
(I do maintain fediverse.info, so we have 1/3 onboard so far)
I have the perfect domain in reserve for ActivityPub Starter Kits:
activitypub.social
Help me pick a subdomain!
#starterKits #activityPub #fediverse
starter.activitypub.social: | 0 |
starterkits.activitypub.social: | 0 |
kits.activitypub.social: | 0 |
start.activitypub.social: | 0 |
I'm reaching out to a few #fediverse projects regarding the ActivityPub Starter Kit service
The goal is to support all fediverse projects, but it will take time to add support for each API structure
Notice how they aren't called Pixelfed Starter Kits?
That's because this is bigger than Pixelfed, and my ego
And while I could have limited this to just Pixelfed, that would go against everything I believe in
I'm building for the future, the federated future
One free from ego driven overlords 🚀
In case you forgot, I also happen to run the Fediverse People Directory!
It's over 3 years old now, and I will show it some love with some well deserved updates next month!
I don't want to duplicate efforts with other Starter Pack/Starter Kit projects, so if you are building one for the fediverse, we should chat!
I'd love more help, and plan to release the source code under the established Pixelfed banner!
ActivityPub Starter Kits update:
I'm making exceptional progress and am wrapping up a few things before I prepare to launch this exciting new service!
ICYMI: I'm building an open source/self-hostable Starter Kit service that will allow fediverse users to safely build kits and share/use them with ease.
ActivityPub Starter Kits will go live later tonight in beta, some other highlights:
- Safety first (Opt-in + Notify + Self-rem)
- Open source + self-hostable
- Compatible with several projects, and will accept PRs for other projects
- Is a temporary measure until Starter Kits are implemented in the core of fediverse projects.
Expect an update in the next hour or so 😎
Should @pixelfed explore adding native support for Bluesky/AtProto?
Feedback wanted!
I should probably get in touch with the #PeerTube developers
It would be cool to support following PeerTube accounts in Loops and seeing their videos in your Following feed.
I'm really proud of the ecosystem I'm building around @pixelfed
We have some really innovative features that are unique to our platform, and are powered by microservices like:
https://api.fedidb.org
https://beagle.pixelfed.net
https://fdroid.pixelfed.net
https://push.pixelfed.net
https://recovery.pixelfed.org
https://versions.pixelfed.org
With @loops and @supapp on the horizon, you can expect a few more 😎
I really need to blog about this, because I'm having a blast 🚀
Create a Starter Kit with all your existing friends/fam and share the link or QR code and the invited person will be onboarded and auto follow all accounts in the kit, along with other auto settings.
The best part is Pixelfed Starter Kits are ActivityPub objects, and will be compatible with other software!
I am working on a FEP 🚀
Could this happen anywhere else?
Two social media competitors collaborating, to this degree?
ActivityPub isn't just different, it's the future.
The future where people are prioritized, not profited from.
If someone needs it, there is a Fediwall for the SFSCON in Bolzano next weekend. Really excited to get there again and be part of the Fediverse Track of the conference :)
@dansup @loops I'm sure TikTok was super basic initially. You definitely have something here with the #Fediverse and we are with you the whole way!
I’m just a guy from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada
If my lil @pixelfed project threatens Meta to the degree they join the fediverse, ban links or mentions of pixelfed, threaten legal action over photo filter names or copy features or side projects like Loops
I can’t do anything
But think I’m on to something
Someone joined our Discord to post that @vidzy was a better alternative to Loops.
It's not a competition on the fediverse, because no matter where you are, everyone wins.
I love supporting fellow #fediverse projects, and look forward to working with the Vidzy team on federation and potentially a universal API so clients will be interoperable with both Loops and Vidzy.
You should follow them, they need more visibility ❤️
👋 Hey Fediverse!
We're Pixelfed. We help run key #fediverse sites you probably use, like https://fediDB.org and https://fediverse.info.
We're also launching Loops (https://loops.video), a new platform for short video sharing.
To keep these services running and build a better Fediverse, we need your support!
