Just read this post from @pfefferle on ActivityPub's WordPress plugin blog, it concerns the fediverse-wide hashtag discoverability which now is almost impossible without manual federation.
This tag.pub service seems promising.
I wonder if non-WordPress instances could be added. Such as mastodon, gotosocial, etc.
SPOILER: to follow a fediverse-wide hashtag it's just needed to follow "@ hashtag @ tag . pub"

The article #ActivityPub, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly by Dominik Chrástecký highlights a number of examples of #ProtocolDecay, a topic I also address in the call-for-reflection article Grassroots fediverse evolution ..

I just found 2 possible more possible examples that I raise genuine questions about, see..

#ActivityBud - the exciting practice of intentionally misinterpreting the #ActivityPub and #ActivityStreams specs in order to derive ridiculous conclusions. By analogy with the movie Air Bud, where the team proved that there ain't no rule that a dog can't play basketball.
pocket shops is usable for testing.
what's working:
- added basic server discovery
- add database purge button for convenience (only shows up in emulator mode)
- added shopping cart feature
- user can update their profile image now
- user profiles are visible on fediverse
what's not working:
- following users on fediverse is still busted, wip
- order system is still wip (needs proposal and stripe integration)
- app icon is wip (original design needed)

Nachts grübel ich: Beim Fediverse besitzt du deine Daten wirklich selbst. Kein Algorithmus entscheidet, was du siehst. Keine Firma verkauft dein Profil. Klingt nach Utopie? Ist aber einfach ActivityPub. 🌐
Das Verrückte daran: Es funktioniert schon – und die meisten wissen's nicht mal.

cc @evan relating to earlier #TagsPub discussion we had on the matter.
This bot is already combining logic, has multiple 'profle logic' tags. Dunno if "NoBots" is also already common protocol-decaying practice.
Maybe a solution might be that an #ActivityPub bot actor - OT: which I'd personally perhaps had chosen to be Application, not Service actors - would have a botFlags property. Simple to implement, and #FEP that.
More involved but also much more versatile might be a "Botiquette" as:Profile, or even a bots:Botiquette type, and a namespace to register them at, and where others may find what they mean and how they operate exactly.

Do NOT create out-of-bound custom and app-centric mechanisms that define new and expected behavior on protocol level.

Wusstet ihr, dass im Fediverse keine einzelne Firma entscheiden kann, ob ihr morgen noch existiert? Kein "wir ändern mal eben die AGBs" oder "kauft uns auf". Euer Account gehört euch – oder zumindest eurer Instanz. Das klingt erstmal unspektakulär, ist aber eigentlich ziemlich revolutionär. 🐘✨

Consent Driven Curated Collections, aka Starter Kits.
Now available on Loops, and compatible with Mastodon Collections rolling out next week.

Spread the word. Boosts appreciated.
This is proof we can build ethical, interoperable discovery based on opt-in support at the protocol level.

#Fediverse-Plattform #PeerTube
#PeerTube ist eine dezentralisierte, freie, föderierte #Software für #Video-Plattformen, betrieben via #ActivityPub und #WebTorrent, welches Peer-to-Peer-Technik verwendet, um die individuelle Server-Belastung zu reduzieren, während Videos geschaut werden. Ein Programmierer startete 2017 die Entwicklung von PeerTube und wird seit 2018 vom französischen gemeinnützigen Verein Framasoft unterstützt. Die Instanz der Entwickler heißt #FramaTube.

Ideally all modeled in #ActivityPub concepts. ej. to have your server 'scrape' another server your server would follow the server's actor (which idk if its a thing). Consent would happen by either the server's reaction to the follow request. Or even in the server's actor properties if they don't list a localtime
Testing Multi-Community Federation Again
