    🫧 #Dreamshare Why is #SocialBookmarking mostly always flat lists, persisted as rows in most basic datastores?Instead why aren't they juicy metadata-hung nuggets, sparkling in rich semantic tapestries, discovered in lush forests of #SocialWeb, where insights and knowledge can be gleaned? Fruits that lure us to explore, be more connected to others. Personal #prosperity vaults!Tech's there..#ActivityPub #LinkedData?Explore a #SemanticWeb? #P2P and #fedi hybrids?#CRDT's local-1st?

    The Include Mastodon Feed plugin for WordPress has been improved even further, now with an option for server side caching of the feed requests, video-attachments and more.Imagine being able to embed a social media feed on your website, for free, with a 100/100 Google Lighthouse Performance score, without tracking or ads. Crazy right?Get the plugin here:https://wordpress.org/plugins/include-mastodon-feed/And my take on custom styling here:https://oldrup.dk/en/include-mastodon-feed/#WordPress #Mastodon #ActivityPub

    #Introduction - A new home for longer mountain ramblings & tech dabbling!After years on a managed Mastodon instance, I've finally jumped into the #selfhosted world! Say hello to my new personal #ActivityPub instance, powered by #GoToSocial from home.While I test the waters here (and learn all the complexities of managing self-hosting!), this space will be for the longer-form, deeper-dive content:1. Extended mountain trip reports with more photos.2. Ramblings on my rather amateur adventures in #technology, #landscapephotography, #lora mesh networks, #degoogling efforts, and #linuxphone solutions.Think of it as my digital base camp. If you're a mountain person who loves tech (or a tech person who loves mountains), we probably have things in common. Boosts and introductions are welcome!

    The other day I was thinking about some of the people who I used to follow in the old blue bird site. A few of them did open accounts here on Mastodon, mostly because it was "trendy" at that time, but most (of those few) eventually left their accounts to rot. A lot of people from the old site just eventually ended up in Bluesky, but they are not even bridging here (I even asked, they ignored me).Whatever their reasoning was, they lost followers one way or another, for sure. And now I have met new people, I have been following them, and some of those are following me back, which was unthinkable in the old site.Time flies when we're having fun, and the past just becomes a blur.#Mastodon #ActivityPub #Hachyderm

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/115596350786859898Debating whether I should make Public playlists an OrderedCollection so they can be federated. Since we allow playlist reordering, need to take that into consideration too.#loops #loopsDev #activitypub

    #OpenScience and the #fediverse .. let's get that ball rolling @jfietkau @jonny and @bonfire opened a brainstorm and evaluation on how we can provide better support for the academic world and #science in general to the #ActivityPub-based fediverse.Various different iniitiatives are underway, and there's great opportunity to bundle forces and align these efforts where possible. Set standards.Interested? Join the discussion:https://discuss.coding.social/t/my-current-goals-for-activitypub-and-academic-data/750#LinkedData #SemanticWeb #JSONLD #RDF

    At SXSW's Fediverse House, it didn't matter which platform or protocol you preferred — everyone was focused on the singular goal of building a better internet. We've uploaded videos and highlights of key conversations from the event and rounded them up in one post.

    Hi all,For the past year I've been working on an activitypub federated instant messenger called Shoot.I haven't had time to work on it for a while because of my job, so I'm making it public to see if anyone would be interested in helping out.You can find the server repo here: https://github.com/MaddyUnderStars/shootand the client repo here: https://github.com/MaddyUnderStars/shoot-clientFeatureset currently includes:- Dm channels- Friends/relationships- Guilds- Guild channels- Guild invites- Voice calls (not yet federated)- Mostly working federation with itself- Iffy federation with other platformsThere's no official instance yet, but I could host one if there is interest.What I need help with most is:- Frontend development. The client code is very hacky and gross, let alone the UI haha- Safety features- Probably general architecture stuffThanks all#activitypub

    The Fediverse, you might have heard of it. From Mastodon to Peertube and more—it’s is a collection of different services that are all working together to form an interconnected universe of applications. It sounds unbelievable, but it’s here today. You can follow me over here on Mastodon. It wrests control of the web out of the hands of corporate oligarchs and digital tycoons and returns that power to where it belongs: us. I’ve spent the entirety of 2024 working on the Fediverse and I’ve learned a lot. See, I started mirroring these videos over on my Peertube instance: https://subscribeto.me/ and it’s sucked me. I’ve gone down this rabbit hole of discovery. I’ve passed through the looking glass. I’ve seen the promised land. And now, I want to share this with you. So in this video, I want to take a moment to explore 5 of the most important lessons I’ve learned and why I’m now betting the future of my company on this amazing technology that we call “The Fediverse.” 00:00 What if we lived in a cooperative online world? 01:33 What is an "instance?" 02:11 #5 - Netiquette was not a fluke 04:49 #4 - Kindness is King 06:44 #3 - It's not a Social Network 08:06 #2 - The Fediverse is boring (complement) 11:04 #1 - Viral Memes as Bioweapons 12:59 Social Media is the enemy of humanity 13:36 What the Fediverse truly is
