How to Install #Pleroma on #Ubuntu #VPS (5 Minute Quick-Start Guide)
This article provides a guide demonstrating how to install Pleroma on Ubuntu VPS.
What is Pleroma?
Pleroma is a free, open-source, self-hostable microblogging server that speaks the #ActivityPub federation protocol—so your users can interact with people on other #Fediverse platforms (e.g., Mastodon) while you keep full control over your server ...

"おかしい。ap_outboxのJSONは次のようになっていて、「'name' => esc_hashtag( $post_tag->name )」に変えた効果が表れている。それにもかかわらず、#Mastodon で変化が無かったのはどうしてだ?

I have a fun hackathon style challenge in mind;
I want to see teams take a #Matrix app and try to implement #ActivityPub in it, using and taking notes for any FEPs necessary on top of the AP spec. Or, conversely, take an ActivityPub app and try to implement Matrix in it.
In each case, I don't mean adding Matrix app style features to the AP app, or vice versa. I'm talking about re-implementing the existing features using a different protocol. To see if it can be done, and how hard it is.

Mastodon, Matrix, ActivityPub, XMPP, ATProto. whatever your flavor of decentralization is, there’s room for you.
Submit your proposal to the Decentralized Communication devroom at FOSDEM before the end of this week!

#fedibird って、フォローしなくても「購読」扱いでリストに入れられて便利なんだけど、#WordPress の #ActivityPub を使っているアカウントで、フォローせずに購読でリストに入れてあるけれどリストに表示されないアカウントがある。韓国語のアカウントで、フォロワー数が、こちらで見ると"4"なので、いろいろな要因が重なっているような気はするが…。WordPressのActivityPubを使っている別のアカウントは表示されている。全て表示されているか確認しているわけではないが…。
リストで表示されなくても、こちらでアカウント検索すれば全部見られるから、それで投稿を確認はしているのだけど…。ちなみに、fedibirdでアカウント検索しても、fedibirdが認識している他のアカウントがブーストした投稿くらいしか表示されない。
もしかしたら、誰かがフォローして投稿がfedibirdのサーバーに入らないと、検索だけでなく、「購読」でも表示されないのかな?
Good to know your options while you’re still in control. Being able to take your data & identity across platforms really matters now. But @bellack.com@bsky.brid.gy’s piece also hits the real question - who’s watching the watcher?

ActivityPub doesn't need task forces to build onboarding resources.
It just takes one person and a bit of courage.
For both developers and the public.
https://fediverse.info - for the public
activitypub.social - for devs (coming soon)

Hot take: Your ActivityPub project is invisible.
I got TechCrunch coverage for Loops with literally just a signup form because I wouldn't shut up about it.
Ship in public. Make noise. Be annoying if you have to.
Stop being humble. Start being loud. Your project deserves attention but you have to demand it.

More Mastodon Plushies‽
So after previously purchasing a Mastodon Plushie many moons ago, I received an email that two more plushies are available—& of course I ordered both of them! 😂
Mastodon Plushies in Blue & OrangeWe don’t mess about when it comes to plushies. Designed with love and care, our new plushie comes with the soft surface and pleasantly squishy stuffing you’ve come to expect, but is more portable than ever before, measuring only 20cm in height. Furthermore, we’ve got 2 new colors for you. Whether you want them to brighten up your desk, or provide comfort on an airplane, the #Plushtodon was architected to be your friend. (Mastodon Shop)
I am glad these are smaller than the original plushie, as they will be easier to travel with & stash around the house. Here is a screenshot recording via my iPad with a person’s hand grabbing blue Mastodon plushie (for size comparison).
Screenshot of Mastodon plushieAlthough I usually do not buy company promo merch, I enjoy supporting Mastodon as they have helped popularize the Fediverse (sites based on ActivityPub) as the future of decentralized social networking.
Note: Mastodon was founded by Eugen Rochko (his Mastodon account is @Gargron)
For folks on the Fediverse (regardless of the platform), feel free to follow me from Mastodon or your preferred ActivityPub handle here:

They want you to think building platforms like TikTok requires billions in VC funding.
Reality: Laravel, Vue, federation, and a vision beyond profit.
@loops is my middle finger to tech gatekeepers who said only monopolies can build this.
High school dropout + open source + refusing to compromise = your federated TikTok.
The tools were always free. They just didn't want you to know.
