  1. Latest Bonfire Social build shows a nifty diagram of users that are part of a post thread and how engaged they are. Do I need it for my own lame posts about my dog? Not really, but interesting!

It's your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism. IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno […]

  3. jacobin.social is a fully customized #Bonfire #ActivityPub server we built with Jacobin.de. It reflects Jacobin’s visual identity and lets readers interact with articles and authors according to their membership tier and much more...

    Jacobin explains the thinking behind the project here:
    jacobin.de/social/

    And here’s our case study, which may be useful for your research:

    happy to share more about it 😊

  4. @mrundkvist Grupper. Men funkar så där. @leanderlindahl startade en svensk server nyligen, men lägger ner den nu i slutet av månaden. Det kanske blir ett försök med #bonfire i stället? Åtminstone teoretiskt borde det ge bättre funktionalitet, men vi får se.

  6. The feature was developed for/with their work with the German edition of Jacobin as part of #bonfire 's #codesign strategy.

    You can read more about that experience here: bonfirenetworks.org/case-stu...

  7. Have you heardt about @[email protected] 's #telling #widget?

    It is a widget for adding a #fedi comment system to your website (including #WordPress #Drupal... but also #SSG and plain html websites!)

    It is also on my top-10 #bonfire features' yet

    You can read more about it here: bonfirenetworks.org/telling/

  8. Science Communication in the Fediverse – Mastodon and Open Science Network winoda.de/en/2026/08/12/scienc A while back, I was once again browsing my personal corner of the internet after work. These days, this mainly involves two Mastodon accounts—an anonymous private one and an “official” […] #WiNoDaKnowledgeLabJournalen #Bonfire #Fediverse #Mastodon #OpenScience #OpenScienceNetwork

  9. Finally home and updated my #bonfire ehich appears to be happy again, so I can see messages and things.


    I had such an amazing time at #FOSSY and I'm excited for the future of #fediverse .

  10. Thanks to someone here, I found where I will host my eventual reader group. #Bonfire. Love everything about this including the user facing documentation. I just love everything about this. This is also the Google Plus alternative many bloggers have been begging for because they don't know that the #Fediverse is bigger than #Mastodon but still, fantastic all the way around and I can interact with my Mastodon account! Like in this community. campground.bonfire.cafe/+Bugs

  11. @nuke @pierobosio @fo quando qualcuno mi parla di #Hubzlla (e di #Bonfire ovviamente) mi viene sempre da ridere perché penso a questa immagine di @enzoesco

  12. Last night I finally managed to get emails working on Bonfire! 🙂 #Bonfire #Fediverse

  13. Someone (not me) should package Bonfire for NixOS with a service module 👍

  14. @bookstodon
    Bonfire bonfirenetworks.org/ sounds like it could be great for the book community, though the name itself makes me a little nervous in this context. 🔥

  16. @Bonfire

    I'm so excited by the possibilities of Bonfire. In many ways it seems like a natural extension of one of the key strengths of the Fediverse itself - that different communities can be set up to match the needs and values of those communities, rather than a monolith deciding how everyone should interact.

    Now Bonfire extends that beyond just the community rules or basic settings like post length, and into major functionality of instances such as groups, events, videos, you name it. The possibility to expand even further into mutual aid, group decision making, misinformation protection and more is amazing!

    Looking forward to playing with Bonfire more and contributing where possible. ❤️

  17. @[email protected] These are great news! I do not know which feature I'm more excited with, but after having using Groups for a while, I can say that they are impressively useful and cool.

    Keep making #bonfire great(er)!

  18. Hey Followerpower! If you were to start some blog in 2026, would you rather go for #ghost, #writefreely, #bonfire or #plume, or good old #wordpress? Just for some occasional thoughts, maybe some series on stuff, no mailing, seo, stuff required. They all have some connection to the #fediverse right now.

    Bonus: Some cheap hosting tips?

  19. I just saw Open Science Network openscience.network, developed by @Bonfire
    (h/t @AvSchroeder)

    It looks intriguing, but I'm not sure about yet another platform(at least for myself)...
    Correction: A federated platform, not completely separated

    But I'm interested in your thoughts, feelings and experiences!
    (already saw mutuals in the "What researchers are saying"-section^^ @UlrikeHahn @fresseng @jorgeluis )

  20. New features added to Bonfire, including "communities", a Ghost integration, and a rebuilt main webpage

    Today is announcement day 🔥

    Bonfire is shifting its centre of gravity: from social features to community tools. Four things ship today, and the whole story is here: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo…

    1. Bonfire for communities
      Groups and topics, community rules, decision-making (from quick polls through structured consensus to weighted score voting, where an objection can count for more than an approval), events, shared organisation profiles, announcements. A ready-to-use space you can then take apart: add what’s missing, fork what almost fits, switch off what you don’t need.

    2. Our first Mosaic case study
      Six months with Jacobin’s German edition, building jacobin.social from the ground up: a home for 3,000+ readers, wired into their Ghost publication, in their language and their look and feel. Their readers crowdfunded the project, which included a reboot of the magazine and a new community space. Now every publisher can benefit. What one community funds, every community inherits. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/case-stu…

    3. A deep Ghost integration
      Keep publishing exactly as you do now, and Bonfire can become the home for everything that happens around the work: your archive imported, new articles followed, members and tiers synced, sign-in through Ghost, federated discussion under every piece. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/ghost/

    4. The Telling
      One script tag turns any web page into a federated conversation. Readers reply with an account they already have, on Bonfire, Mastodon, anywhere. The thread lives on your server, and you can take it with you. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/telling/ Being straight with you: this is a 1.0 beta. Groups work within a server and don’t federate yet. We’re designing that in the open with the W3C groups task force, because we’d rather it work across the whole fediverse than ship a dialect only Bonfire speaks.

    Want to poke at it? Groups are live on the campground, our open test instance. Make an account and try it out: campground.bonfire.cafe

    Finally, we’ve rebuilt the website to reflect the new direction: bonfirenetworks.org/

    Now back to following up with crowdfunding backers to organise install parties, co-design workshops, and other rewards. Thank you for your patience 💛

  21. Dear @Bonfire - can you please fully disclose your usage of AI in everything from illustrations, blog posts, documentation, website and code?

    This isn't to say that things look bad, but I'm getting an ever-increasing suspicion that you're using AI in ways that should be disclosed. Maybe you use it for Object A, and then it makes me wrongly guess you're using it for Object B. But guessing AI usage isn't nice.

  22. Sérieux plus le temps passe plus je suis emballé par @Bonfire.

    Un micro-blogage (compatible Masto et cie) avec plein de super fonctionnalités, et une philosophie de dév' et de fonctionnement orientée vers gestion de communautés. ❤️

  23. Hat irgendjemand aus der deutschsprachigen Wissenschaftscommunity schon persönliche Erfahrungen mit dem
    Open Science Network
    openscience.network/
    gesammelt?
    Es scheint eine Bonfire Instanz mit ORCID-Integration zu sein, eine Art Community Forum für Forschende im Fediverse... Wie LinkedIn aber ohne den Bullshit?
    Kennt ihr das? Ich wüsste gern mehr darüber.

    Boosts welcome!

  24. Nice talk by @ivan and @mayel about Bonfire and how they build digital community spaces with Bonfire and related projects, like the Lauti calendar, in practice.

    "It's an ecosystem of people who meet together to meet needs. People who share cost, share risk, share expertise and knowledge, share governance over the tools they rely on, and reinforce each other's capacity to adapt, survive, and thrive. This is how we think Open Source can become sustainable. Not by mimicking startup economics, but by building ecologies where survival is mutual. By making sustainability a shared, ongoing cooperative project rather than a lonely competition."
