I have made a pretty interesting discovery on #Peertube. You are able to follow the peertube instances itself as an user on Mastodon.(Speculation)When follow an user from a Peertube platform, only the videos of the account you follow display on your mastodon instance. Differently from mastodon(and others) that- [REDACTED] (Read this -> mstdn.social/@mgfp/11709001264)1/2#Fediverse #ActivityPub #Interoperability #Instance #PeertubeInstance #Federation

httpsig.org is a site with one sole purpose, to advocate for the adoption of RFC 9421 HTTP Signatures. It has a "Libraries" tab that does exactly what it advertises, it lists a bunch of libraries for you to use so you don't have to roll your own.

If you want to integrate AP today, but you don't want to roll your own everything, where do you go? Who do you ask?

All I know is:

Do we even have a list sorted by language? This would be huge. What other AP frameworks do you know of?

Granted, I didn't do a lot of thinking and deep diving before I listed those two examples, but even then, that's 1 more example than is listed on https://activitypub.rocks, so I think I might be on to something here from a developer advocacy point of view.

If I were looking to integrate AP, one of the first conclusions I'd come to is that the protocol itself is fairly complex and a library or framework might help.

I don't think there is a list that plainly lists supported libraries by language.

Hello, and happy summer to you all.Cookifed is an Open Source and federated recipe notebook and baking tracker.Using us, you can keep track of your favorite recipes, plan when you want to cook/bake them, and keep track of each change you made in the recipe to get better next time.We are federated over ActivityPub. So you can also share your recipes and bakings with anyone on the fediverse.#cookifed #Fediverse #ActivityPub #cooking

Most people want to have private online conversations. Some also want to post publicly. I get wanting to be able to use the same account for both but trying to let everyone do so seems to be creating more problems than it solves. Lots of confusion and anger and a ton of effort to build more nuance and moderation capacity into the tools we already have and need to keep somewhat simple to encourage adoption.Perhaps build on #matrix and #ActivityPub separately. Have users list both accounts.

@jfmezei Is this reply meant for a different post? 😉

It really bugs me that #Facebook is still the go-to platform for local information for most people. Everything I’ve done with myLocal NewsBot project is intended to make Mastodon/the Fediverse equally useful for up-to-date local news and information, and for the most part I think it’s been successful; I’m able to stay up to date, even ahead of traditional news sources.The remaining nuts that need to be cracked IMO are local business pages and groups (and maybe Marketplace). We need something on the #Fediverse side that speaks to those needs.#FediAdmin #FediDev

is anyone working to have subscription included in their software? not for ''creators'' but for economic sustainability of the platform itself, something like paying for storage and permissions automatically

I think I perfected nevermind.jointhefediverse.net as a good "get started with the fediverse" site with a few added links. #fediverse
