Thank you to all the people trusting this project. Even if it fails, I am pretty sure it will help push #ActivityPub further.
I stumbled upon this "ARE YOU JUST
A .md FILE?" thingy this morning: deathbyclawd.com/
...and I couldn't resist to check for #ActivityPub
We are all save!
I like the "N/A — You cannot assassinate a standard. Ask RSS how that worked out." part 😂

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…
With #Holos, you can have your identity on your own domain. No server? A simple CNAME record is enough. Already have a server? Point a subdomain to handle #ActivityPub traffic and serve a static JSON file on your root domain.
This is a step toward the same sovereignty #Nostr offers with cryptographic identities, but staying in the #ActivityPub ecosystem you already know.

#Holos will support custom root domains tomorrow. You'll be able to use @you@yourdomain.com as your identity while #ActivityPub traffic is routed through a subdomain. With a single user, a simple static json file will be enough on your root domain.Holos Social (Mastodon)
RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…
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.

Next step with #Holos and custom domains: being able to use your root domain as your identity. A subdomain would point to the relay via CNAME, but your identity would use your root domain.Holos Social (Mastodon)
(Although remember that nothing is private on Mastodon. Your private mentions/direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted so your instance admins – and anyone hosting a hammer to their knees – could be reading them all. If you want to talk privately, use Signal or Delta Chat. Never share sensitive information on “private” messages on Mastodon. That goes double for our friends in Gaza.)

Introducing Starter Kits
One of the hardest parts about joining a new social network is the cold start problem. You sign up, you follow nobody, your feed is empty, and you bounce. We've all been there. Starter Kits are our answer to that.Daniel Supernault (Loops Official Blog)
The source code of #PawFed is now available on #Codeberg. PawFed is a federated map for animal welfare: reports come from the #Fediverse via #ActivityPub mentions, and permanent places like shelters and vets are pulled from OpenStreetMap.
A location is not always required: if you have supplies or food to give away and can ship, just say so.
Found an abandoned animal? Just report it.
How to build a message: pawfed.org/tags
Source code: codeberg.org/tom79/PawFed
PawFed
Federated collaborative map for animal welfare. Report and find shelters, vets, lost/found animals and more by mentioning @PawFed on any Fediverse platform.Codeberg.org
#HolosDiscover just hit 3 million indexed posts.
What matters more than the number: 145k deletions processed, 83k edits tracked, and over 1k opt-outs respected, all in real time.
Respecting people is the priority and the only way to do it right is to be a full #ActivityPub participant, receiving deletions, edits, and opt-outs as they happen. Before indexing anyone, Holos Discover follows their account, so they know they are being indexed and can opt out.

RE: toot.fedilab.app/@apps/1162459…
#PawFed is not limited to reports about animals found or in distress. You can use it to offer help or ask for it.
Use #offer when you provide help, #request when you need it, #info to share useful information.
Everything works through #ActivityPub. If you delete your original post mentioning @PawFed, the related report is automatically removed from the map. No database ghost. You stay in control of your data. (1/3)
#PawFed is a project close to my heart. It's a collaborative map for animal welfare that bridges the #Fediverse and #OpenStreetMap.The idea: mention @PawFed from your Mastodon account with hashtags and a location, and your report appears on the map. No signup, no app, just your existing Fediverse account.
It's not perfect yet, but the foundation is there. I will publish the source code soon under AGPL.More: pawfed.org/how-it-works
Update: we've decided to go ahead and submit the CFP to @COSCUP@floss.social 2026. The track will be called Fediverse & Social Web—think FOSDEM's Social Web devroom, but in Taipei. #COSCUP is free to attend, like FOSDEM.
If the track is accepted, would you be interested in coming to Taipei (Aug 8–9) to give a talk?
(Boosts appreciated!)

Hey #ActivityPub friends. Are there any new ActivityPub / Mastodon features I should add to #ActivityBot?
It's a small bot-only ActivityPub server in a single PHP file.
gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/
It can be followed, post images, allow quote posts, etc.
Is there anything else you would like a bot-server to be able to do?

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…
Some news from #HolosSocial development. The latest release moves media processing to the device. Videos are transcoded locally before upload. Users can store media on their own S3 or WebDAV server, and the resulting URLs are used directly in #ActivityPub activities. The relay server handles neither transcoding nor media storage. Each user brings their own resources to the #Fediverse.

NLNet Open Social fund
NLNet has a €480.000 fund to apply for #ActivityPub software, and the deadline is March 31st. Are there any developers available to apply for this?
We published #HolosDiscover 1.2.5, this release fixes RSS issues on some readers:
Also, for more transparency, we added a real-time stats page showing processed #ActivityPub activities, blocked instances and more.
