I added some basic #activitypub support to humungus based on the #forgefed vocabulary. Repository, Commit, etc. And of course updated #honk as well. So now you can follow the honk repo from within honk itself and see all the commits fly by. Still a work in progress, but it’s live now. Probably do a longer write up next week.
Added support for scheduled posts (for this to work correctly, users will have to set their time zone, see below).
The user can now select a working time zone. This will be used to correctly parse the local date and time of a scheduled post.
Fixed incorrect poll vote format, which was causing problems in platforms like GotoSocial.
Mastodon API: added support for /api/v1/instance/peers.
Added a new snac-admin helper script (contributed by shtrophic).
In the web UI, posts are separated by the <hr hidden> tag; it's invisible in graphical browsers, but it separates post clearly in text-based browsers.
Some Finnish, Spanish, Czech and Russian translation updates and fixes.

This release has been inspired by the song Pictures on the Wall by #MichelleGurevich.
A reasonable ActivityPub / ActivityStreams API to schedule something to be posted in the future might be — to HTTP POST something to an account's outbox with the `published` field set to a date-time in the future.

All those seeds I planted over the years are sprouting 🌱
FediDB.org, Fediverse.info and PubKit.net are going to play a huge part in our roadmap for 2025!
We're so proud of our progress, and being able to give back to our fediverse community 🌻
Loops mobile app source code:
https://github.com/joinloops/loops-app
The rest will be pushed shortly, just preparing a new TestFlight build ✨
Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).
New command-line option unmute to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.
The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.
Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.

New: Fediverse Report #101
This week's news:
- @pixelfed continues to grow, adding 100k active users in a week. The platform now has grown from 20k active users a month ago to almost 300k active accounts currently
- The Pixelfed Kickstarter smashed its goals, raising over 100k CAD in funding
- Tumblr recommits to connecting to the #fediverse in the future, using the WordPress #ActivityPub plugin
Added support for subscribing to LitePub (Pleroma-style) Fediverse Relays like e.g. https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to improve federation. See snac(8) (the Administrator Manual) for more information on how to use this feature.
Added support for following hashtags. This is only useful if your instance is subscribed to relays (see above).
Added support for a Mastodon-like /authorize_interaction webpoint entry, that allows following, liking and boosting from another account's Mastodon public web interface. To be able to use it, you must reconfigure your https proxy to redirect /authorize_interaction to snac (see snac(8)).
Some fixes to accept Event objects properly (like those coming from implementations like https://gancio.org/ or https://mobilizon.fr).
Added some caching for local Actor objects.
Hashtags that are not explicitly linked in a post's content are shown below it.
Fixed broken NetBSD build (missing dependency in Makefile.NetBSD).
The user profile can now include longitude and latitude data for your current location.
Mastodon API: implemented limit= on notification fetches (contributed by nowster), implemented faster min_id handling (contributed by nowster), obey the quiet public visibility set for posts, other timeline improvements (contributed by nowster).
Reduced RSA key size for new users from 4096 to 2048. This will be friendlier to smaller machines, and everybody else out there is using 2048.
If the SNAC_BASEDIR environment variable is defined and set to the base directory of your installation, you don't have to include the base directory in the command line.
Fixed a bug in the generation of the top page (contributed by an-im-dugud).
Added support for Markdown headers and underlining (contributed by an-im-dugud).

Labeler - a self hostable, MRF inspired labeler service for ActivityPub
Create, or subscribe to 3rd party labeler servers you or your friends manage, and take advantage of a rich filter schema to define rules and actions to apply to incoming activities.
Loops will be the first service to support this new Pixelfed labs project ✨
Fixed regression in link verification code (contributed by nowster).
Added ipv6 support for the https frontend connection (contributed by hb9hnt).
New "Like by URL" operation (contributed by dheadshot).
Added support for a Mastodon-like /share link sharing URL, like the one provided by sites like https://mastodonshare.com/ and such. To be able to use it, you must reconfigure your https proxy to redirect /share to snac (see snac(8)).
New linux landlock (sandboxing) support for enhanced security (contributed by shtrophic). It's still a bit experimental, so you have to enable it explicitly by recompiling with the WITH_LINUX_SANDBOX directive (e.g. make CFLAGS=-DWITH_LINUX_SANDBOX).
Some search fixes regarding repeated matches.
The export_csv cmdline operation now exports the CSV files inside a user's export/ subdirectory instead of the current directory.
All CSV files to be imported must now be stored inside a user's import/ subdirectory instead of the current directory.
Mastodon API: more timeline paging tunings (contributed by nowster), post language selected in apps is properly set.
The command-line operation note new reads the LANG environment variable to set the post's language.
A new command-line operation, note_unlisted, allows posting "unlisted" or "quiet public" posts.
The maximum number of entries in users' RSS feeds and in outboxes can now be set via the max_public_entries variable in the server.json file.
Fixed broken support for Audio objects.
Made xmpp and mailto URLs clickable.

Post from Misskey developer:
Mastodon might be happier if it only confederates with Mastodon, and Misskey confederates only with Misskey. Troubles due to functional differences are commonplace, and
implementations that change behavior or limit functions depending on the confederate partner are necessary. However, it is quite costly (in the first place, there are limited ways to know in advance how the coalition partner will implement it).
"FediMeteo brings real-time weather updates to the Fediverse, covering cities across Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (with more regions coming soon!).
Using the power of #ActivityPub and the simplicity of #snac, FediMeteo posts accurate forecasts and updates directly to your favorite social platform. "
I've heard back from 4 different fediverse platforms that are interested in collaborating with Loops, and still waiting on a few others!
I'm organizing a client API spec for Loops with @vidzy so we can leverage our vibrant ecosystem to allow users to pick the best client and backend, regardless of project ✨
Pretty amazing what's possible with #activityPub and collaboration, eh 🚀
My new laravel-activitypub library is really coming along, and I will be using it for Loops and eventually Pixelfed.
It leverages a lot of Laravel magic to handle many aspects of federation, you simply have to map a few models and attributes in the config file, and it will work with new and existing laravel projects!
Just imagine adding ActivityPub support to your app, while only writing less than 10 lines of code.
It's Magic ✨
1) composer require dansup/laravel-activitypub
2) edit config/activitypub.php
3) your laravel app now has ActivityPub support, and all you did was map some activities to your existing data ;)
Available soon. https://github.com/dansup/laravel-activitypub
The search box also accepts post URLs; the post is requested and, if it's found, can be interacted with (liked, boosted, replied to, etc.).
IP addresses for failed logins are tracked and throttled to mitigate brute force attacks (see snac(8) for more information).
Fixed a bug regarding repeated attachments when editing a post.
Mastodon API: Improved timeline pagination in some clients (details: an HTTP Link header has been added), fixed missing audio attachments, fixed an incorrect value for the bot field in newly created accounts, fixed a crash, implemented markers (contributed by nowster).
When running in server mode, the pidfile is locked to avoid concurrent running of the same server instance.
Added documentation and some tweaks to enable static compilation with musl (contributed by Shamar).

In the northern half we'll celebrate #SolInvictus by listening to the song One Perfect Sunrise by #Orbital.
Don't get me wrong, I love Mastodon and everything it's done for the fediverse
That being said, I don't want Loops to become the only short form video platform, or the only well known one
I'm working with @stux on his own short vid platform called #GoldFish and PeerTube to enable seamless interop
We're stronger and better together
There is no reason NOT to work with "competitors" because when you have the right mindset and goals:
You build for the people, and listen wisely.
Loops + NLnet
We are thrilled to announce that @nlnet and @loops have signed a MoU for a grant funded through the NGI0 Core Fund!

Memorandum of Understanding
Number: 2024-04-
"Loops" Project
I reached out to @snowcatridge10 and Vidzy regarding establishing a shared API schema with Loops
Imagine Vidzy users being able to use the Loops app on Vidzy backend/server.
Wouldn't that be dope?
Just another #activityPub only aspect, where people are the priority and profits aren't in our lexicon.
💅
Hey @cwebber, love everything you're doing and wonder if it's possible to collaborate and showcase the amazing power of Spritely when integrated into a platform like Loops.
https://community.spritely.institute/t/pixelfed-loops/623
Pixelfed and Loops are standing on the shoulders of giants like you, and we'd love nothing more than to help evolve the fediverse together with you ❤️
Big Tech gatekeepers want you to think bootstrapping a video platform is impossible.
Reality check: With edge computing & client-side transcoding, any dev can build a TikTok alternative at a fraction of the cost.
Don't let Web2 giants gatekeep creator innovation and monetization.
Time to disrupt short-form video. Join the open creator revolution 🚀
"The (Loops) app looks very smooth!
But…
What is your biz model?"
Loops is not constrained by VC or for-profit biz models, it aims to be an open source and federated short video platform.
I may make a Loops server with creator monetization, but that's separate from the official project
This is what makes #activityPub and the fediverse so magical
People are in disbelief that I would work so hard for free!
When you really believe in something, you make it happen, and good things will follow 🚀
Btw, Loops isn't the only short video fediverse platform!
You should checkout https://vidzy.codeberg.page, another exciting project that has a lot of potential.
The magic of the fediverse is choice, so why not embrace it?
As many users have asked for it, there is now an option to make the number of followed and following accounts public (still disabled by default). These are only the numbers; the lists themselves are never published.
Some fixes to blocked instances code (posts from them were sometimes shown).
Fixed non-appearing buttons Approve and Discard if the account requesting a follow were being followed.

Fediverse developers: Want to update your https://FediDB.org listing, or add a logo?
Introducing the communityDB - a human curated software repository that is used to update our Software index.

Spread the word ✨
Is it somewhat concerning that the current Twitter owner also owns a Rocket company and can monopolize interplanetary communications?
ActivityPub needs cross planet support long term, and satellites so we don't need to rely on adversarial competitors
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 believe that Starter Kits need explicit Opt-In inclusion.
There are too many examples of well intentioned services like these that end up getting abused
I've reached out to a few other #activityPub projects, and Lemmy for example stated that Communities are their primary use case for this, so I will be adding support for Community Starter Kits eventually!
Notice, these aren't Pixelfed or Loops Starter Kits, something this impactful belongs to the whole fediverse!
Kits = Better, Safer, Open
Added a new user option to disable automatic follow confirmations (follow requests must be manually approved from the people page).
The search box also searches for accounts (via webfinger).
New command-line action import_list, to import a Mastodon list in CSV format (so that Mastodon Follow Packs can be directly used).
New command-line action import_block_list, to import a Mastodon list of accounts to be blocked in CSV format.

Some tweaks for better integration with https://bsky.brid.gy (the BlueSky bridge by brid.gy).
A corner case bug in the media proxying code has been fixed.
Hashtags can now include underscores.
The server now creates a pidfile inside the data directory.
Mastodon API: fixed a crash in the notification code, fixed autocapitalization in the OAuth login field (contributed by fkooman).

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)
