I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.65 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
Added a new user option to disable automatic follow confirmations (follow requests must be manually approved from the people page).
The search box also searches for accounts (via webfinger).
New command-line action import_list, to import a Mastodon list in CSV format (so that Mastodon Follow Packs can be directly used).
New command-line action import_block_list, to import a Mastodon list of accounts to be blocked in CSV format.

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
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.
#starterKits #activityPub #fediverse #onboarding
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!

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?

The current ActivityPub Social API (C2S API) is not widely implemented in servers and almost no clients exist for it.SocialHub

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.
