#HolosSocial isn't bringing something new to the #Fediverse, especially not to #ActivityPub. It builds on what exists, without mimicking any platform.
Every social network has been given its fediverse clone. Asking people to hold a separate account on each is taking the problem backwards.
If the fediverse keeps mirroring the GAFAM, it loses. The point was never to rebuild their world, but to offer something else: one identity across every content.
HolosSocial is simply a try. But we can do it.


#Starling is a lightweight #PHP #fediverse server you can install by just copying files over FTP to a shared host. No PostgreSQL, no workers, no DevOps. Owning your data with #ActivityPub can be much simpler than with #ATProtocol. Have you tried it?

In a few days — perhaps in about a week — you’ll hear how all these Mastodon sites were hacked.

Why?

Because they didn’t update.

Some of you are running copies of Mastodon from two years ago or more, and you’ll still wonder why. 🤦

Now that it has come up in two recent conversations, I have to ask: what's the simplest social bookmarking application that gets closest to what Delicious* used to be? Ideally free and open source...

And is anyone working on a federated ActivityPub equivalent? Because that would be cool!

I've been working on improving Loops federation in preparation to reuse it and it's powerful builder/handler/validation pattern for Pixelfed!

This will solve many federation issues in Pixelfed, like missing comment threading, mentions, blocks and unblocks and much more.

Then I will abstract it into a reusable Laravel package, so any laravel project can easily add federation support in minutes

I also submitted a NLnet grant application for this 🤞

#ActivityPub #Laravel


#Holos is a new social network working with #ActivityPub. This is not an app where you can connect your Mastodon, Pixelfed or PeerTube account.
There is no web version and no API because the ActivityPub server runs on the device itself. That's the whole challenge behind this project.
If there is more engagement, I plan to build a desktop version and even sync between different devices.

The official account for all announcements is @HolosSocial

Following the recommendations I got, I set up a #NodeBB forum to discuss the projects #Fedilab, #Holos, #CastLab and #Fedle.

Each category federates over #ActivityPub, so you can follow it directly from your Fediverse account: @fedilab, @holos, @castlab, @fedle.

Is the Bluesky kind of federation an example for the future of the Fediverse?

Read here what I think about this:

If you'd like to preview the #tutorial I'm writing on building a small federated image sharing service, similar to @pixelfed@mastodon.social, with @fedify@hollo.social and @nuxt@webtoo.ls, here it is:
