something cool to add to #activitypub woulöd be a global shoutbox

Meet Loops — a new, federated TikTok alternative that’s open-source and self-hosted.

Every movement begins with a spark.

Loops is that spark — breaking down the walls built around creativity and replacing them with doors anyone can open, explore, and build upon.

What will happen to the actual #Fediverse if Bluesky really succeeds as the mainstream federated social media platform with other interoperable apps?

It “only” took me a few years to find out that I don’t need to have a PeerTube or Lemmy account to interact with them; I just need to copy/paste the link in Mastodon search and then follow or reply.

Why no one is saying this little detail FIRST to all the n00bs coming from the Horror socials? After this you can explain the fediverse; Now Activity Pub makes so much sense to an atechnical person.

Well, after an initial failure, my #NLNet grant application for #GoActivityPub has been accepted under the NGI0 Commons Fund. 💪

This means that for the next months my main focus will be fully on making #ActivityPub in the #Go programming language easier for other developers.

If you're one of them, reach out, I want to know what you struggle with and how I can help with that.

since @Fox@tortest.xsrvwinfo6cgbfbvfggmnzlm2vgj3tbam3aa2l6ei64yefu5w7hldcqd.onion and @xsrv are now behaving i can take the next step and introduce some crypto into the mix

#mitra #mitradmin #activitypub

if there was mitra with the entire feature set of mastodon it would be crazy. Mitra is way easier to setup, maintain and configure and mastodon has a great ui, moderation and administation through a webui. Mitra's ui is very limited, theyer implementations of relays is stupid and it doesnt have object storage. Mastodon doesnt allow you to change the default message lenght without breaking the update system, has way higher resource usage and the setup for nginx is just a big ball of jank. Combining mastodon and mitra would make the ultime activitypub server.

#Loops has entered #beta with #ActivityPub support, allowing users to connect with creators across the #fediverse. This means users can follow and interact with creators on platforms like #Mastodon and #Pixelfed, and vice versa. Loops has implemented several technical features to ensure smooth federation, including a shared inbox, HTTP signatures, and smart content representation. https://blog.joinloops.org/loops-joins-the-fediverse/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

Spread the word, the fediverse now has an open source TikTok alternative that is truly decentralized.

I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation!

We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch)

You can also disable Federation support

I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨

Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀

Building healthy federated communities requires the right tools.

Loops federation controls will give admins:

🛡️ Powerful federation modes (Open, Moderated, Trusted, Lockdown)
🛡️ Granular domain permissions
🛡️ Per-user activity controls
🛡️ Advanced moderation features
🛡️ Internal Audit Log to keep admins/mods accountable

Empowering admins to create safer spaces in the fediverse, shipping soon! ✨

Loops federation update:

I just finished the admin dashboard updates for federation support!

Loops will make it really easy to manage, just take a look at this demo ✨

I think we're ready. Stay tuned.

After receiving a follow confirmation, a bunch of posts from that account are requested and inserted into the timeline as context.

Continuously failing instances are marked as broken after a given number of days (see snac(8) on how to tune this counter). Incoming activity from any of these instances resets the counter.

Fixed a nasty bug that incorrectly deleted private local posts in certain cases.

Scheduled posts can now be sent from the command line (see snac(1) for more information on how to do it).

Docker: add timezone, new examples for building and complete Swarm mode stack with Traefik (contributed by daltux).

Fixed timezone names (contributed by dharmik).

Documented the update command (contributed by xvello).

While others build walled gardens, we're preparing to tear down walls.

As TikTok creates separate US and global apps, we're putting the finishing touches on ActivityPub integration in Loops.

Soon you'll share your loops across the entire fediverse - no borders, no corporate silos.

The future is federated. 🌐

I'm making great progress with ActivityPub federation + @loops

Let's gooooo 🚀

Revolutionary idea: What if social media platforms actually let you control your data?

@loops does, with full data exports, retention controls & opt-in analytics.

The future of social is open-source ❤️

(and federated 🚀)

Also thanks to: martijndeb, xvello, zen, daltux and anyone else I may have missed!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.82 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29259

The GitHub Continuous Integration checks are still running.

Assuming they complete OK, it's still up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

The language in which a post is written can now be set from the UI; you must configure the list of languages you usually post in in the User Settings.

Added support for bullet points in posts (lines starting with an asterisk or a hyphen, plus a space).

Added Dutch (nl_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

Added Western Frisian (fy_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

Mastodon API: Fixed repeated entries in timelines.

Added nodeinfo 2.1 support.

Fixed boosts from the command line not showing in the public timeline (contributed by xvello).

Updated several language files (contributed by zen and daltux).

Retrieving a post's replies is now possible via ActivityPub.

Função muito supimpa do #SNAC que só recentemente constatei como é útil: podemos pôr no texto a ligação para uma imagem externa, que ele a transforma em anexo da "atividade" (a publicação no #ActivityPub), sem precisar armazená-la! Pode notar que essa foto do Locutus — Cap. Picard (Patrick Stewart) assimilado pelos Borg — é descarregada diretamente da Wikimedia Commons!

Não sei se outros sistemas, mesmo os que também já suportam #Markdown, fazem isso! Quem aí pode dizer?

@Chaotica Hubzilla ist da deutlich "mächtiger" ;) Aber ok, du wirst bestimmt was finden. In Sachen #ActivityPub ist ja glücklicherweise einiges in Bewegung.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.81 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29032

GitHub Actions' Continuous Integration checks has passed OK, which hopefully is a good sign?

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

(As a total aside, given the comam.es .es TLD; I'm guessin you're in Spain? I have tentative plans to attend the MIRA Festival [mostly to see Amnesia Scanner] in November. Albeit, that's in Barcelona and I vaguely understand there are linguistic, cultural and socio-political differences? I've never visited before; but thought I would mention it as a possibility to meet up AFK maybe!)

If the propagate_local_purge configuration variable is set to true in server.json, purged local posts generate a Delete activity that is sent everywhere, instead of only deleted from the filesystem.

Included a small tweak to avoid being confused by implementations that return valid webfinger queries for non-account URLs (like i.e. the Wordpress ActivityPub plugin in some configurations). This helps in searching by URL.

Added Ukrainian translation (contributed by wincentbalin).

New command-line option muted, to list all MUTEd actors.

Mastodon API: Fixed metadata and follower approval flag when editing the account.
