#2030 predictions?
#Wordpress Posts im Fediverse sind offenbar für Mastodon-Leute sehr unpraktisch zu lesen. Ich hab im #ActivityPub Plugin von @pfefferle gesucht, ob sich da eine Art „Teaser mit Link zum Beitrag" einstellen lässt, aber nichts gefunden.
Hat irgendwer eine Lösung? Liegt es an der generellen Blog-Einstellung?

I continue to have zero luck getting self-hosted Ghost's new ActivityPub features working.
Docker + Cloudflare are throwing giant monkey wrenches everywhere with this setup.

We'd like to recognize some excellent contributions from our #OSSCA (Open Source Contribution Academy) participants who have been working on #Fedify.
@gaebalgom contributed PR #339, which introduces the @fedify/elysia package to provide Elysia integration for Fedify. This work addresses issue #286 by creating a plugin that enables developers using #Bun and #Elysia to integrate Fedify's #ActivityPub capabilities into their applications. The contribution includes the core integration module, documentation, examples, and proper monorepo configuration, making Fedify accessible to the Elysia community.
@r4bb1t submitted PR #315, implementing comprehensive AbortSignal support across multiple APIs to resolve issue #51. This contribution adds request cancellation capabilities not only to lookupWebFinger() but also to lookupObject(), DocumentLoader, and the HTTP signature authentication flow (doubleKnock()), allowing developers to properly handle timeouts and abort ongoing requests throughout the entire request chain. The implementation includes extensive test coverage for cancellation scenarios across all affected components and lays the groundwork for adding --timeout options to various CLI commands like fedify lookup, fedify webfinger, and fedify nodeinfo, making federated applications more robust and responsive.
@ooheunda addressed a testing infrastructure issue with PR #350, fixing a race condition in PostgreSQL message queue tests that was causing intermittent failures (issue #346). By adding explicit initialization before concurrent message queue listeners, this fix prevents table creation conflicts that were affecting test reliability, ensuring more consistent PR testing for all contributors.
@songbirds provided two test stability improvements with PR #344 and PR #347. The first PR adds skip guards to RedisKvStore tests as a workaround for a known Bun runtime issue, keeping the test suite functional while awaiting an upstream fix. The second PR resolves a race condition in the code generation process by randomizing output filenames, preventing conflicts during parallel test execution. These contributions help maintain a stable testing environment for the project.
Thank you all for your contributions to Fedify. Your work helps make federated social networking more accessible to developers.

Where is the #Fediverse "#handle" syntax, @name@example.com, formally defined? I don't see it in the W3C #ActivityPub spec, nor in #RFC7565, the #Webfinger 'acct' URI scheme spec. Is it a #Mastodon convention which became universal? I am writing software to study handles, and I would rather base it on a spec than a social convention.
@mmasnick's latest piece for @techdirt.com is an absolute must-read if you're interested in democracy, technology, and the possibility of a better future.
"The solution isn’t building better platforms — it’s making platforms an obsolete concept. Platforms concentrate power; protocols distribute it. Platforms extract value from users; protocols enable users to create value for themselves. Most importantly: platforms can be captured by bad actors, but protocols resist capture by design."

Hallo @acka47 et al.
ich habe nun wegen semantischer Kompression ein Demo hierhin gepackt
https://github.com/sebilasse/compressDE
Das Ziel ist es, #ActivityPub Objekte um etwa 80% zu komprimieren. Das Resultat ist ein UInt8Array für alle naturalLanguage-Texte. Andere Sprachen können aus Corpora generiert werden.
Es bietet sich insbesondere für ältere oder wenig genutzte Objekte an.
Das Resultat im Demo ist etwa 25% des Originals. Ich weiss halt nicht, ob das gut ist.
[EN] Esteemed fediverse
see the readme of the repo for semantic compression
@evan do you know is there an agreed upon opinion in the #ActivityPub working group (or in in the fediverse at large) if `Dislike` activities should be added to an object's likes collection?
