It looks like Kevin Roose (NY Times columnist who hosts the Hard Fork podcast, hence the name) set up theforkiverse and invited folks to join. FYI @laurenshof new instance alert, the start of a trend?@KentNavalesi

#SelfHosting week 1, phase 4. FINALLY.The main architecture is up and running now. Lemmy, WriteFreely, Castopod, today I'll get WordPress multisite running; my current site on shared hosting, runs a singular website where I created multilingual through "FullSiteEditing" WordPress feature; but it's quite difficult to maintain in long-term so 2 sites with 2 languages will make it better.Now I have upgraded my hosting plan to Hostinger kvm2, and associated my VPS to the huge lifetime 10TB cloud I have, for podcasts. PCloud, through rclone. Next phase will be WordPress, then maybe to point various services to the right domain (plusbrothers.net and not .online). Most passages have been done via command line, and to find the right commands I've used google gemini. Unfortunately for some features, American (big) tech has still been useful. #accessibility #selfhost #activitypub #blog #multilingual #blind #WordPress

@julian @glocq I agree! That series of posts created by @crepels are a treasure trove of resources and a masterpiece of clarity!

TIL that naked URLs work so much better in #activitypub via #wordpress than anchor text

ChatGPT mostly reflects what's already out there, the internet, Reddit, different communities.Which means chatting with it is a bit like chatting with what the world currently thinks, bias and vice, trolls included, but also real discussions.So, I asked it about the Fediverse. I would say that it sounds not too "wrong".What's your take?This is the convo:#fediverse #mastodon #activitypub

@box464 Piefed's gallery view is the closest approximation I know of. Pinetta was more directly focused trying to be a Pinboard alternative hasn't been updated in a couple of years.

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.#fediverse #ActivityPub #Vebinet #Mastodon #Pleroma #socialmedia #X #Twitter #DigitalSovereignty #EU #Europe #EUpol #OpenSource #technology

Ich habe mal eine Frage an die Blogger:innen, die das ActivityPub-Plugin für WordPress nutzen. Wie handhabt ihr das mit den Avataren? Was macht ihr, damit das DSGVO-konform funktioniert, also ohne Gravatar in jeglicher Form? Werden die Avatare aus dem Fediverse grundsätzlich angezeigt, da Gravatar ja nicht involviert ist? Ich hatte das damals mal getestet und die Avatare aus dem Fediverse wurden nicht angezeigt, da ich über das Plugin „One User Avatar” die interne Funktion von WordPress deaktiviert hatte. #ActivityPub #WordPress #Avatare

@dtm I’m glad it’s working, and welcome to the fediverse.

Does anyone here have experience with federated Forgejo (v13.0.4)? I set it to enabled in the .ini file and restarted, but what will happen as a result? Can people who use other instances now star my repos, or do I need to configure something else?#Federation #Forgejo #ActivityPub

EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD! Even non-EU citizens have a voice here. NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference: The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out: a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy. ec.europa.eu/info/law/better... #EU #open #foss #openSource #source #linux #activitypub #AP #fedi #fediverse
