OK so... I have to request the timeline using the client API, which only gives me opaque IDs for each profile. Then I need to look up the profile using the client API, to get the actual Activitypub ID, stored in the "uri" property. Then I need to use the server API to get the profile, according to that APID. There's no server API for getting instance timelines, and there's no client API for getting a profile's inbox/following/etc timeline URIs. Basically I have to go through the nonstandard "gargron special surprise" protocol in order to do anything with ActivityPub and instance timelines. Am I understanding that right?

You can't count all the sites on the open web or all the users on #ActivityPub servers because they are decentralized. Yet #bluesky is now displaying their number of users by the second as they race to 21m. They really are "special".
But every other corporate platform has that information too. It's how they sell themselves to VCs and advertisers. #SocialWeb
My question is pretty simple. I want to create my own social media based on activitypub for learning purposes.
I usually prefer C or Python for programming languages, even though I'm not an expert.
The question is, would someone create a list or to-do list? What should I do?
Interesting introduction of bluesky "decentralized" approach and feasibility of self hosting for individual users.

Maybe Bluesky has “won”
November has sucked so far. One upside of the terrible nonsense is that more people are fleeing X. Many are choosing Bluesky. I’ve seen a bunch of takes about this recently, but I keep seeing things I disagree with.Gavin Anderegg
While #Mastodon is the giant of the #Fediverse , I am curious if any of the other projects have made better strides with onboarding, moderation, UX and so forth.
How is #Friendica on these issues? Or #Misskey ? Ideally we should have a number of _different_ #ActivityPub -based systems which all compete to make their user experiences better. I mean, isn't tying ourselves too closely to any single platform how we got ourselves into this mess in the first place?
I don't want to duplicate efforts with other Starter Pack/Starter Kit projects, so if you are building one for the fediverse, we should chat!
I'd love more help, and plan to release the source code under the established Pixelfed banner!
ActivityPub Starter Kits update:
I'm making exceptional progress and am wrapping up a few things before I prepare to launch this exciting new service!
ICYMI: I'm building an open source/self-hostable Starter Kit service that will allow fediverse users to safely build kits and share/use them with ease.

As an idealist #activitypub should be enough for all federated apps out there.
The reality: We're building bridges to #bluesky and Pixelfed would like to implement two protocols for one app.
We gained nothing if developers implementing multiple protocols to be federated.
Can we please agree on a decentralised protocol? Thanks!

on a decentralized network, all the posts have to be pulled together (and managed somewhat) for you somewhere.
#bluesky / #ATproto does it with the relay they control. #ActivityPub / #mastodon does it via the server your account is on. #nostr lets you use multiple relays but then your client also does some of it afaik.
the question seems to be how much of that work do people want to do themselves vs sharing the cost and time involved. what are the tradeoffs in freedom and control? #SocialWeb
People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.

Check out @steve on #SocialHub with a proposal to work on #ActivityPub #C2S, the client-to-server Social API part of the #W3C Recommendation.
The Social API didn't get much uptake on the #Fediverse where generally the #Mastodon API is used (and abused) for client/server communication.
It is not because the Social API isn't good, just that no one ever did the legwork to mature this part of the spec.
Are you interested in C2S and help push the #SocialWeb?

New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub
You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.
It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

The H and K project is a project to build a server that can be easily hosted in the basement or in another place in the house. For the basic services set up so far, #yunohost is used with #zola, #sogo and #gotosocial. Next, a #matrix server will be installed. It is currently still unclear whether it will be a full Synapse server, or one of the smaller alternatives. It is important that all data are stored in your own house without using servers of strangers on the Internet (AKA Cloud).
Based on this judgment https://www.datenschutzticker.de/2024/03/edsb-eu-kommission-därcht-datenschutz-microsoft-365/ there will probably be some need for such solutions in the foreseeable future. Smart users have already left the "cloud" or even better never used it.
A #RSS feed for these posts in the #fedverse is set up.

#Bluesky just announced that they raised 13 million from a company called *checks notes* Blockchain Capital. They are pinky promising not to use blockchains and cryptocurrency in Bluesky. They also took the chance to announce that they are working in a subscription model but they also mentioned they will not uprank paid accounts.
#ActivityPub is feeling really cozy today don't you think. bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
