I think I’ve found a relatively nice solution for #FediLinks in #Conversations_im.
You can put web+ap URIs into a message (or room description) and ideally a click on those will open your Mastodon client. However if no installed app supports those (the only app that I’m aware of is Fedilab) Conversations will open a browser instead.
Currently no app will create web+ap links but it is fairly easy to handcraft them.

What is it like to use PeerTube as a video creator? Spoiler alert: it's amazing!Elena Rossini
Good morning Fedi friends!
I just added a new link to my Mastodon profile: @elena 🤗
How many #ActivityPub profiles do I have now? I don't want to know 😆
Off I go continue writing about #PeerTube for #TheFutureIsFederated (part 2, showing what it's like to use the software from the POV of a creator). I look forward to doing some tests and seeing what it's like to embed PeerTube videos on my website. Article coming tomorrow.
Wishing you all a lovely day!
Some groundbreaking method is needed for an independent #ActivityPub server to run financially independently without compromising its core values.
Thank you for your work @stux

ActivityPub and Mastodon are effectively the same thing to most people.
( @reiver note: this seems similar to the phrase "the Mastodon in the room".)

Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
Bluesky didn't use ActivityPub for 2 reasons —
№1:
Because of the identity issue.
Once you make a choice (of server) you are locked in.
You cannot migrate freely.
(Current Fediverse migration not good enough.)
№2:
The culture on the Fediverse at the time.
There was a culture on the Fediverse of being hostile towards global aggregators.
( @reiver note: AFAICT, this is a very small minority of hyper hostile individuals.)
ActivityPub 5.5.0 for WordPress is here! 🚀
This update brings a ton of improvements, including a first step toward supporting Moves from Mastodon to WordPress—big things ahead!

Little known fact: @evan and I worked at a startup in 2020 that never launched. It wasn't a great experience for me, but I loved the team we had hired, including Evan. I didn't know much then about #activitypub or the social web.
I went back to @Flipboard in 2021 and in 2023 I started to learn about #federation because of @mike's vision. Fast forward to 2025, Flipboard + @surf are organizing #SXSW's first #FediverseHouse. Evan was one of the first people to sign on, which created a snowball from there, which helped the event be a success.
This week, we got to meet IRL for the first time! So when I think about "the purpose" of that hard 10 months at that startup, I now know what it was.
Is Tumblr on the Fediverse?
A couple years back we heard that #tumblr was working to add #ActivityPub support and join the #fediverse.
Attached is an article from 2013 discussing exactly this folllowing the sale of Twitter.
Anyone know how that went? Is Tumblr connected now, or what happened? Where we at.

Can ActivityPub save the internet?
Mozilla, Meta, Medium, Flipboard, Tumblr, and so many other companies are betting that the future of social networks looks more like email than it does Elon Musk’s Twitter. And they’re betting on a little-known protocol to make it happen.David Pierce (The Verge)
"When you publish a post via ActivityPub it doesn't just get stored in 1 database, it gets sent out to every follower you have, and the server of every single one of your followers stores that post in their database, too. If you want to delete a post, it has to be deleted in all those different places, too — and that doesn't just happen automatically."
