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?

NextGen ActivityPub Social API
The current ActivityPub Social API (C2S API) is not widely implemented in servers and almost no clients exist for it.SocialHub
There *has got to be* a way to properly fork #Mastodon.

Beginning to believe that @Gargron@mastodon.social doesn't want me contributing to #mastodon — he's now partially recreated three of my pull requests that I've worked on. My PRs didn't ship because I needed feedback from the team who were busy.Hachyderm.io
Call to all Mastodon Newcomers
Welcome to all!
How can we improve the #onboarding process? If you joined in the past few weeks can you let us know what was difficult when you joined and/or once you had joined?
For example:
- I didn't know which server to join
- it took too long for my joining request to get accepted
- I wasn't sure how to find people to follow
(The aim of this post is not to collect answers to the problems but rather detect all potential obstacles to joining & starting to use Mastodon. Please boost around! 🔄)

New blog post: “My Mastodon Starter Pack”

Sometimes, I invite someone to join #Mastodon, and I end up sharing the same links and information repeatedly.
Following the “manual until it hurts” #IndieWeb practice, after repeating the same things a few times, it is time to “automate” it. Well, in this case, just put everything into one blog post, I guess.

As more people are abandoning X, again, perhaps my short introduction to Mastodon might be of use, if you'd like to share it with your friends?

Two years ago today, I wrote my first post on #Mastodon after lurking for months. I was welcomed in torrent of kindness, and am pleased to report my initial impression has held true.
I've found community among people who love #Running, #Cycling, #Ottawa, #Horror, and #FilmMaking here (among others).
We still have so much work to do to make this a better, safer place for all.
I have learned so much from so many.
Support your server! Thank you all.

Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline 👇
mastodon.social/@heiseonline/1…
It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ¼ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

#Mastodon is pretty customizable to offer people many choices not usually available to users on other #socialmedia platforms. More choices also means more complexity ;)
Like on other platforms, you can also choose to simply make a new #account on another #server.
A lot depends on your reason for moving :)
To migrate to a new #Mastodon #instance:
1. Find a new server.
You can either use this great #tool by @TheKinrar to help you choose:
instances.social
Or the official tool (with a limited selection):
joinmastodon.org/servers
2. Create a profile on the new #server
3. Next, redirect both #profiles to each other:
.../settings/migration (Move.../Moving...)
4. You can optionally choose to export & import your data: .../settings/export
👆 #Bluesky has starter packs to help people find interesting accounts. I built one with accounts from #Mastodon, that can be followed from there (thx @bsky.brid.gy).
But it was challenging to find more, that aren't already also active there. Any suggestions, whom I could add?
Because let's build more bridges!
I joined Twitter in 2008, making 7,500 posts through the years. I deactivated my X account today.
I greatly curtailed my usage of the platform since November 2023, when my employer @Flipboard pulled back from engagement. And I haven't posted since April but kept it open for work reasons (to monitor news, etc.).
Why today? The U.S. election made clear how many of my fellow Americans live entirely in "alternative facts" ecosystems. I no longer wish to participate in such a platform — so rife with unchecked misinformation and disinformation ... basically an outrage machine where the algorithm rewards lies and conspiracy theories.
If you're still on X, why?
I screenshot my profile for posterity. And here's also Flipboard's 2023 announcement.

Using billionaires' platforms
will not save us anymore.
They have full control to silence your voices there. Using it only means more power to them. Leave their control and join The Resistance.
To build powerful communities
that will be able to resist the oppression and injustice coming up soon, we need to fully move towards independent platforms.
The Resistance will be federated ✊

Glad to see @write_as reopening its signups. Always wanted to try it out.
Yeah, I did tried @writefreely before, but gave up, because it was confusing to choose a WF instance. And while I did tried out some (like rant.li), I weren't satisfied, because WF lacks some features that WA has.
So, finally, I can try this thing out.
P.S. Those wondering what's the link to my blog - well it's in my profile bio, verified. Oh and you can follow the account on Fediverse -> @expertplus@write.as .
PSA: If you're finding the news hard to handle right now, you can use Mastodon's filtering features to hide content that includes certain keywords or phrases. Navigate to the Preferences section on your profile and then select "Filters" and "Add New Filter." You can also control what you see on Flipboard — here's a quick guide to how our For You feed works and what you can do to tune it.
