For everyone curious about what’s coming next in #Vernissage, here’s the updated roadmap for 2026:
https://github.com/orgs/VernissageApp/projects/5
It outlines the planned work for the coming year, but it doesn’t include everything. Along the way, libraries will be updated, important bugs fixed, and other improvements addressed as they come up.
The roadmap shows the direction rather than a fixed promise for every single change.

I keep on having a strange feeling that the Fediverse could be better.
Not just that it could be used more effectively, as yes it really could be by people. But more a factor that apps, the ability to post from one true account could be a thing.
It's been sorta proven in a way with developers building on AT Protocol with the invention of Flashes & Bluescreen for Bluesky.
Why can't we have 'one account to rule them all?' Is that even a 'good' idea?

How to Host Your Own #Mastodon Server on a #VPS (5 Minute Quick-Start Guide)
This article provides a guide for how to host your own Mastodon server on a VPS.
Running your own Mastodon server on a VPS is an excellent way to enjoy an efficient and secure Mastodon experience.
What is Mastodon?
Mastodon is a #decentralized social media platform that enables users to post ...

Working full time on the Social Web
In January 2026, I will begin working full time in my role as Director at the Social Web Foundation. I am looking forward to the challenge of growing this young non-profit and fulfilling our mission to make a bigger, better Fediverse.
As a refresher: I have been working in the area of federated social networks since starting Identi.ca in 2008. Federated social networks are social platforms that let users on one platform connect to and interact with users on another platform. Linked up with open standard protocols, these platforms together form a Social Web that puts people first.
In 2018, I was a co-author of the ActivityPub standard for social network interoperability. I currently maintain the spec for the W3C and develop extensions for it. In 2024, I wrote ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web for O’Reilly Media. And I co-founded the Social Web Foundation to further encourage the use of ActivityPub in social networks.
For the last year, I’ve been working nights, lunchtimes and weekends on SWF while holding down my full-time role as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation. I love working at OEF; the organization build Open Source software to help cities fight climate change. I have felt very fulfilled in my work there, and I’ve made really strong friendships with the team. It’s been a very special place to work that has changed how I think teams can be.
But over the last year, SWF has had some really amazing opportunities, and in 2026 we’ll be making some big steps forward for the Social Web. I can’t keep doing both jobs, and I feel like, after 4 years at OEF, I’ve done what I can to build up that organization, and I am ready to start on this next one.
It will feel good to have my full attention focused on the Social Web. I’m looking forward to seeing my Open Source friends at FOSDEM 2026 in Brussels at the end of January where I’m helping to organize the Social Web track. I’m speaking at Princeton mid-February, and I’ll be in the Bay Area at the beginning of March. All this time, I’ll be working hard to get the next version of ActivityPub released and to push out several software projects to make the Social Web more fun and interesting.
Thanks to everyone who’s put time, effort and help into the SWF. Thanks to my coworkers at OEF for encouraging me on my next steps in my career. Thanks to my wife and family for tolerating yet another leap into the void.
I hope you have as exciting a New Year as I will.

These are great #ideas, and also typical candidates to file an #ideation issue for at the #fediverse ideas repository, at..
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediverse-ideas/issues
As long-time #fedi advocate and #FOSS passionado I've seen countless times #people #come #together on nifty #ActivityPub ideas, only for it to fade out, and be forgotten again, until the next person throws it into ephemeral #microblog timeline voids.
#activitypub wizards, what happens if you set up a redundant relay between a gaggle of #Mastodon servers? Nothing, I assume, apart from wasting traffic and CPU cycles?
While I often use #openstreetmap and especially the excellent @organicmaps app, I wonder if there is an alternative to reviews on #googlemaps?
Is there any #opensource solution - ideally even #federated?
Having a solution based on #activitypub that allows reviews for POIs on @openstreetmap might be very interesting and open a lot of opportunities.
Mastodon and Bluesky are better than the centralized status quo. But between the two, I predict that Mastodon's ActivityPub will outlast Bluesky's AT Proto. More thoughts here: https://evanhahn.com/prediction-mastodon-will-outlive-bluesky/

Wäre es nicht an der Zeit, dass die #WordPress Foundation Meetup gegen https://mobilizon.org/ eintauscht?

@pjotrs72 @emaechler sie wollen anstelle #peertube weiterhin voc benutzen, aber ans #ActivityPub Protokoll anbinden.
