Stories might be our most complex feature yet (harder than Collections, Groups, Portfolios combined).
But they're everywhere - Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn. People expect them.
Love them or hate them, they're how we share moments.
@pixelfed is doing Stories ethically - no tracking, no ads, just authentic sharing.
The future is federated. ❤️

@madamada No, I want a simple microblogging platform without extra features like the JSON-heavy #ActivityPub.
Heres is an initial release:

@LesRepliques ces personnes prises en photo par votre photographe n'ont-elles pas un nom et une histoire ?
Votre usage du #alttext est une insulte pour elles, les personnes malvoyantes et la communauté #activitypub

I've been running v3.0.0 of Ktistec in production for the last few weeks, and it seems stable and I’m using it every day, so it’s time to release it!
This release adds:
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) support. Ktistec can act as an MCP Server.
- OAuth2 authentication support. Ktistec can act as both an OAuth2 authentication server and a resource server.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a simple, general API that exposes Ktistec ActivityPub collections (timeline, notifications, likes, announces, etc.) to MCP clients. To be fully transparent about what this means, MCP clients are shells for Large Language Models (LLMs).
When building this, I focused on a few use cases that are important to me: content summarization, content prioritization (or filtering) based on my interests or the content's structure (well-constructed arguments vs. low-signal opinions) or its tone, especially when it comes to shared posts. Ktistec is a single user ActivityPub server and Epiktistes (my instance) gets a lot of traffic. I want to build the “algorithms” that surface the content I want to see.
Of note, there’s currently no support for content generation.
While I work on this, I’m not abandoning the 2.x line. I’ll continue to add compatible features and fix bugs as long as I'm able. I realize the use of LLMs, and MCP by extension, and therefore the 3.x branch, is controversial—I don’t intend to push v3 on anyone.
If you're still with me, Ktistec now exposes:
- MCP Resources
- ActivityPub actors (
ktistec://actors/{id*}) - ActivityPub objects (
ktistec://objects/{id*}) - registered users (
ktistec://users/{id}) - server information (
ktistec://information)
- ActivityPub actors (
- Tools
count_collection_since(name, since)paginate_collection(name, page, size)read_resources(uris)
- Prompts
whats_new
Supported collections include:
- timeline, notifications, posts, drafts, likes, announces, followers, following
- collections of hashtags of the form
hashtag#<name>(e.g., "hashtag#technology") - collections of mentions of the form
mention@<name>(e.g., "mention@euripides")
There is more detail in the README.
TL;DR Add a remote MCP connector in your MCP client of choice: supply the URL of your instance including the /mcp path (e.g. "https://epiktistes.com/mcp").

I have a demo at work in like 5 minutes, then I have meetings until 11pm PST which I go live on the @firesidefedi ! But I just realized I don't have an fediverse appropriate tshirt, so I will try to create one.
I already choose one text, and is not in this list, but what would have been your fav?

I'm toying (that may be a weak word for an obsessive like me) with #Ghost #Ghost6 as a central internet comms/hosting platform. It could be perfect as I could have two docker containers running it, one private and inaccessible. So far, bad luck self hosting, the "networking" feature that adds #activitypub just gets 301'd and 404's. I will win that battle eventually (obsessive me again)

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting: day 244 (Everest edition) ⛰️
a blog post that details some of the highs and lows I have been experiencing lately in my self-hosting adventures. I have a major challenge ahead - learning #Docker - in order to take advantage of #Ghost x #ActivityPub federation. It's my new Everest 🥲
