Oh, I was looking for both. So the update date is not #ActivityPub standard but explicitly a #snac feature?
This, also, is good to know.
Thanks

Oh, I misunderstood that you wanted to know the #ActivityPub gory details. Yes, #snac marks edited messages by showing the update date next to the creation one.

I gave an elaborate follow-up to the #ActivityPub API protocol design issue, where I also cross-ref'ed this thread..

What was also interesting re: #GNUSocial is the unfortunately retracted #ActivityPub #FEP on Unbound Groups i.e. groups (or organizations) that are not bound to a single instance.
See #FEP2100 at https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/2100/fep-2100.md

Hi. The #ActivityPub specification just says that, for an edited post, an
updated attribute must be set to the latest modification date, and an Update activity to the modified Note object be sent out there. There are no provisions for a history of changes or a modification reason that I know of.Show Original Post

Say, how are edits to posts managed? Is there any indication an edit happened, a way to see the original\previous versions or to add an explanation for the changes that's not just a "Edit: x-y-z" line?
I suppose this might more a question for the #ActivityPub tag tho'.

Guten Morgen! ☀️
Kleines Fediverse-Abc für Neulinge:
🔤 Instanz = dein Zuhause
🔤 Föderieren = mit anderen reden
🔤 Blocken = Hausverbot erteilen
🔤 ActivityPub = der magische Kleber dahinter
Das Schöne: Keine Firma entscheidet, wer dein Zuhause abreißt. 🏠

FediSuite - Fediverse Management
Open source social media management and analytics platform
Managing multiple Fediverse accounts means juggling tabs, forgetting which composer belongs to which platform, and losing track of what you've already posted. FediSuite puts all of it in one place.
Connect accounts from 13 platforms - Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, Friendica, PeerTube, Loops, and more. The app detects your instance type automatically, pulls the correct character limit and media rules directly from your instance, and configures the composer accordingly. No manual setup.
The analytics go well beyond follower counts: daily engagement charts, follower growth, best posting times as a heatmap, hashtag performance, and a tips engine that reads your actual data and gives you specific suggestions based on your own numbers.
Accessibility has been a core focus of recent development. Every analytics chart ships with a companion text summary and a full data table so screen reader users get the same information everyone else does. Keyboard navigation follows WAI-ARIA patterns throughout. The HTML lang attribute updates correctly when you change the UI language. None of this is bolted on - it's been part of the engineering work from the start.
FediSuite is free and open source under the GPL-3.0. You can use the hosted instance at app.fedisuite.com right now, or run your own with a standard Docker Compose setup - no compilation required. There's also a native Android app (very alpha!).

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/116286098619535273
The next step with #HolosSocial will be to let you use your root domain as your identity while still using a subdomain for the relay.
Yes, #Holos is kind of like #nostr but with #ActivityPub. The main difference: your data lives on your device, not on a server, and relays remain completely dumb.

The Fediverse - Welcome to the open world of sharing
I'm writing this post to demystify the Fediverse as simply as possible—so you can find your place in it, whether you're completely new or have already heard about it without really knowing what it is. Get comfortable; we're about to embark on a journey.
Imagine space. A vast universe, made up of millions of stars, planets, continents, and cities. You choose where to settle down—but no matter where you live, you can communicate with anyone, anywhere in this universe. No one owns space. No capricious billionaire can buy it out on a Tuesday morning and decide to change the rules as he pleases. That's exactly what the Fediverse is.
The word itself is a portmanteau—"federation" plus "universe." A network of thousands of independent servers, run by ordinary people like you and me, who talk to each other using a common language. Thousands of communities, millions of people, zero big boss in charge.
Each server is called an instance. It's your town, your entry point into this universe. Mine is called OnJase.quebec. Others live on qlub.social, mastodon.social, mamot.fr, or tens of thousands of other corners of this French-speaking and international galaxy. And the beauty of it all? You can talk to anyone, no matter their instance, no matter where they are in the universe.
Your address in the Fediverse looks like this: @you@yourinstance.something—just like an email, your name followed by the server where you live. Simple, right?
What holds it all together is called ActivityPub—the common language all these servers use to communicate. It's thanks to ActivityPub that your Mastodon account can follow someone on Pixelfed who shares photos, on PeerTube who streams videos, or on Funkwhale who plays music. Completely different platforms that still understand each other. It's as if all the social networks on the planet finally speak the same language—except that here, no one owns it.
Some questions we hear often:
Is it free? Yes, most of the time. Instances are run by volunteers who pay for hosting out of their own pockets. If you can afford it, a small donation to your instance is always appreciated and makes all the difference.
Do you have to choose the right instance from the start? Not at all. If your instance no longer suits you, you move—and your followers move with you. No hostage-taking, no loss of contacts, no starting from scratch.
An official page that explains all this very clearly: docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mov…
And what if someone wanted to buy it all out like Musk did with Twitter? Good luck. To control the Fediverse, you'd have to buy out thousands of independent servers one by one, while new ones pop up every day. It's designed to never belong to anyone—and that's by design.
Are there any rules? It depends on each instance, but generally: respect others, caption your images for the visually impaired, use hashtags to be found, and report anything wrong to your administrators.
To see the scope of this universe at a glance, visit fediverse.party—all the platforms that are part of the Fediverse are there. The visuals speak for themselves.
The Fediverse is the internet as it should have been from the start—free, diverse, belonging to no one and everyone at the same time.
Welcome to the universe. My Universe 🏴 And yours!
