Quite sad that ActivityPub community web like https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks does not verify new users quickly, so they can contribute..
4+ days and counting...
Maybe no moderators, maybe no time, maybe no interest. Well, maybe do not run a discussion forum, if you are unwilling to run it properly.

imo @mackuba gets at the heart of the difference here. but people need both if these networks will be more than entertaining. Twitter has historically been a smaller social media network but extremely important because of how it has dominated news and discourse. obviously that's why it was bought. and the #SocialWeb is slowly getting better at search and the wide-view while #bluesky must eventually make themselves special to provide the VCs an ROI.

I've had an inspiring first week with Fedibook. Your feedback has been truly inspiring. It started as a provocation and an experiment — but I have decided to turn this into a proper open source project. My first ever!
If you tested on dev1.fedibook.dk — come to https://fedibook.net. The new showcase instance where we will run the latest released code. Or even better, run your own instance and friend request me @sindum@fedibook.net.
I'm heading off on holiday, but I wanted to share what I'm hoping we can build together:
Your Friendly Neighborhood Social Network... One that is there for you when you want to take a moment to connect and follow up. That shows your feed from friends, follows and groups. Nothing more. With a UI that focuses on that rather than keeping your attention.
Jump over to my blog for this post with a little more detail.

Can someone point me to a good explainer article about #ActivityPub protocol, #Mastodon, and the #Fediverse that I can share with my tech industry daughter who is fed up with Instagram? Thanks!
Also ActivityPub ist immer noch schwer für mich zu verstehen...
Jetzt habe ich einen Vernissage Account, um Fotos zu teilen. Ich hätte gerne die Beiträge von Konten, denen ich dort folge auch hier in Mastodon in der Timeline. Das sollte doch irgendwie gehen.
Oder folge ich mit meinem Vernissage Konto einfach niemandem und allen Foto Relevanten Konten auch hier auf Mastodon? Wäre irgendwie komisch.
Hashtags am Ende: #fediask #vernissage #activitypub #500px
Yesterday, #ActivityPub really choked and didn’t transfer any posts from #WP to #Mastodon. I wonder if it’s related to the new Mastodon update.

With #Holos, you can have your identity on your own domain. No server? A simple CNAME record is enough. Already have a server? Point a subdomain to handle #ActivityPub traffic and serve a static JSON file on your root domain.
This is a step toward the same sovereignty #Nostr offers with cryptographic identities, but staying in the #ActivityPub ecosystem you already know.

#Holos will support custom root domains tomorrow. You'll be able to use @you@yourdomain.com as your identity while #ActivityPub traffic is routed through a subdomain.
With a single user, a simple static json file will be enough on your root domain.
PS: if you already use a subdomain, it will work without extra work.
