#federate — Public Fediverse posts

Does anyone know of a #federated #sports player #ranking / #rating system, where a local club can host an instance, which is responsible for hosting a set of player accounts, along with their associated ratings in the given #sport (where a ‘post’ is the result of a match between two players, so on), and which can optionally #federate with other instances of the same sport (or maybe other sports, if they want)?

In essence, something that removes the need for a central organisation to do the work of determining player ratings. This also prevents such an organisation from essentially requiring players to pay pricey membership fees simply to be part of the rating system.

I would very much appreciate any suggestions towards such a system or similar!

@sabrinkmann
#monopolies like the one you mentioned tend to zuck up everything while the #fedi, as I understand it, prefers to #federate and link instead. So, can't an actor provide a clickable, say matrix, handle? Has it to be mandatory? Has it to be a certain protocol? #AP? Or can there be #choice?

P.S.: auto-discovery via #webfinger / #RFC7033?

I'm extremely happy to announce that Neighborgoods 0.1 has been released!

Neighborgoods is a platform which allows people and organizations to setup a #library of many different kinds, and #federate them together to provide a large resource for borrowing, sharing, and giving.

This is our first release, which has basic setup of #distributedlibraries , which are groups in an area where people share goods.

Dear #Facebook: WTAF is your problem? This post was 100% created and generated by you, not me. The welcome text was created by your staff, the list of members was generated by you, and the image was created by your staff. Stop accusing me of #counterfeiting when the automated post you put in my group from my page was 100% created and generated by you. OMG I can’t wait until the day most people boycott Meta to the point they fail, because way too many people only use their platforms to the point I’m unable to fully move to other #platforms due to most of my followers being there. There needs to be laws forcing every #socialmedia network to #federate on #ActivityPub so people can finally exit #Meta’s nonsense. #moderation

@realhackhistory Given the topology of Mastodon and other federated social networks, it should be clarified that the DDoS attack was against "mastodon.social", the first and one of the largest Mastodon servers...but all other instances were unaffected due to, again, the natural topology of federated social networks.

#mastodon #ddos #dos #fedi #federate #mastodonsocial

@Tendar I just re-realized that this is #potus writing on his own social network with the name truth social. It just all makes so much sense.

I would love to see #truthsocial #federate with the fediverse, just so I can effectively block this junk.

HELP!
We're wanting to be as #fediverse friendly as possible. We're changing up our #website and changing #podcast hosting service.

Our posts with our #wordpress site, should we use the #SeriouslySimplePodcasting plugin from #castos to host and then have each post on the website #federated through the #activitypub plugin?

Or should we use #CastoPod to host the episodes and then also still use the activity pub plugin to #federate the posts on the website.

Both?

Any #advice would be lovely!

I used to think that unless we push back with as much force as their money can buy them, we couldn't win.

Now the game frames itself differently. Why play?

Ebay asked for my SS# or they'd take more money out of my sales ala privacy by way of extortion. IRS involvement isn't even necessary under $10k and I see no need to prepare for it.

...it worked for social media.

#Federate #Ebay.

Crypto, or chosen, open checkout solutions, reputation-based sales and marketplace. Let feedback and quality of service vet users and storefronts. Official stores could participate and run instances with users buying and selling under their maintenance. No more middle-man, be the middle-man.

@hellomiakoda @IAmDannyBoling I appreciate these kinds of reaching out.

I'd like to audio #chat about doing more of this kind of work between people who can do that kind of offer - because I think the skills and encouragement or a place to go to once a week online... is needed / lacking. So you have social #software without really the #social. Nice for cat pics and #Caturday and even leftist memes but not really doing it together as often - sometimes never. Just a quick #jitsi chat about it doesn't take much (<2mins for example) and can be more anonymous for just the info / knowledge spread.

Friendship to any extent and going to the #gym #together is the Federated what but right now the social software (Mastodon) has near-0 people doing the socialising on a proper consistent level so the organising is not there and expecting people to do it when they are #unskilled and still have a bit of #fear / #FUD which bringing together on their favorite topics helps them make #friends better / eventually #federate better.

And now Github will be develop by Microsoft AI Team so… Exist a software for hosting code (like Gitea) with a federation implementation (like mastodon) for users?

🎂 Congrats @microformats.org on 20 years! #microformats20

Even after 20 years, people keep discovering new ways of using #microformats:
* @artlung.com: "WML, WAP, & Microformats Demo!" (https://lab.artlung.com/wml/faux)
> Because WML elements may have the class attribute
Originally posted 2025-06-18: https://xoxo.zone/@artlung/114705990062730513

That adds to the list of languages with working microformats examples:
* HTML — modern, unversioned as well as every version since HTML4
* HTML3 — see https://microformats.org/wiki/html3
* SVG — see https://microformats.org/wiki/svg
* XHTML — every version, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0
and now also:
* WML — https://microformats.org/wiki/wml

Literally any HTML-like or XML-like language that has a space-separated class attribute can work with microformats.

In constrast, every alternative to microformats (most now defunct) required adding new attributes, or worse, entirely new elements, which meant revising every language one at a time (or use of fragile XML Namespaces), resulting in supporting only 1-2 languages at most (HTML and XHTML) in practice, and nothing else.

Re-using the "class" attribute based on the existing footpath that web designers made for encoding additional semantics into their HTML, and the similarly extensible "rel" attribute, was one of the best design decisions in any extension format ever.

After 20 years, microformats continue to serve as another example of “loosely joined” approaches being more adaptable, reliable, resilient, and longer lasting than “tightly coupled”.

Okay, but we can also #federate this now with the #fediverse. Like, #ActivityPub can handle search queries just fine.

So, just running on microcomputers, everyone can put on their own index whatever they want.

A person can _easily_ index 50,000 pages on a rapsberry pi.

A #FediSearch can broadcast any query to known peers. Each peer returns top-k results. The originating node can then aggregate and rank.

So @alice queries their FediSearch, it searches its own index and queries subscribed peers, those peers do the same thing. Nodes can choose who they trust, cache, etc.

The number of indexes pages will be something along the lines of `pages_per_nod * log(number_nodes)`. So a thousand nodes may only cover a million pages, but if the trust network is good, those are probably the most important million pages.

Also, I would venture that you'd have some nodes specializing in having a lot of pages: tens of millions, others just for stuff they like, others specifically for non-commercial interests. Selecting who you federate your search with really affects the ranking.

@threads If people on #Threads that #federate with #ActivityPub and then comment on someone else's post that is also #federated to ActivityPub, will their comments show up on ActivityPub or is it just the original post that gets federated?

My experience with #bridgy is that it doesn't work for all supposedly #bridged #bluesky accounts. I've tried following a lot of the #aviation bsky accounts where there's a "web.brid.gy" bc they all migrated there from Xitter, & none of their posts show up in my Home feed save for maybe 1 or 2. I follow the web.brid.gy account here in #Mastodon but for some reason there are no posts, or if there are posts, they don't #federate for some reason with my instance. Disappointed

And in my next act I will deploy the blog for #badgefed to #cloudfare and make it static with #hugo and still #federate with #activitypub using workers

Anyone knows some cool #Photography and or #Art #Accounts on #Fedi to follow?
Maybe also some #photography and #photo editing tipps accounts aswell?

I want to diversify my #Feed a little and #federate with new instances.

I Have No Idea If Anyone Can See Me, But Here I am, Say Hello If You See Me.

I have been up since 4:30 a.m., I have been cold all day long, I have been battling this site, I broke it after spending 2 days of creating and getting it working, and had to spend most of the day to recover only half, and the site is up, but federation seems to be a bit slow, and either no one can see me, or they dont care to see me, and those I follow, I cant see their feeds yet, so I am abit miffed as to what is going on. Along with my being #disabled and living in #poverty and all that entails, it has been a banner day, if you know what I mean.

A little support can go a long ways for me, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

If you want to federate your Mastodon account with Bluesky, simply follow the account @bsky.brid.gy from Mastodon.

#bluesky #federate

When you #decentralize & #federate #socialVR, communities grow organically.

Imagine joining a dance server as you love dancing. You spawn into a custom hub world *dedicated to #VR dancing*. Event calendars, users chatting about last nights rave, user-placed rifts to worlds that *stay open* until they're empty: open invitations.

It's instant integration into a #social group. Just find a community you want to base in and the whole #fediverse is open beyond.

Maybe #BasisVR framework will do it.

The people deigning to pop over here from Bluesky are so blindered and insufferable, as to make the latest trend... something I'm just not interested in.

They see a hot tub. I see a bad case of pinkeye.

Why don't you refocus all that energy on making Bluesky fully #federate? Or tell you what their business model is going to be? Are they going to sell your data? Are they going to promise you NOT to sell out, which would ALSO sell your data?
Bluesky is pro-transparency. They can do that, right?

Why publishers are preparing to #federate their sites

https://digiday.com/media/why-publishers-are-preparing-to-federate-their-sites/

I've taken some time to think about my thoughts on #Threads and others federating with us here. I think I am okay with it.

After all, none of us is under any obligation to #federate, subscribe, or whatever. Personal preferences like that are what I love about #Mastodon.

If every site (not just #SocialMedia) in the world joined I would continue to filter, selectively follow, and block as I see fit. Nothing changes for me.

Maybe we'll teach a few #Meta users a better way to engage.

@[email protected] re: “issue might be with what you're federating out maybe”, possibly except that regardless of what I’m federating out, the point in my reply to @[email protected] is that #Mastodon is still getting it half-right, which is a bug in Mastodon regardless of what I’m federating out.

Either Mastodon should be treating my hashtags precisely as hashtags, (re)linking them to the local tagSpace *and* ignoring them for link previews, or it should be treating them “purely” as links, and not changing their default/published hyperlink and considering them for a link-preview.

Re: “help to have the activities json representation” — my understanding is that should be automatically discoverable from my post permalink, so all that should be needed for a bug report is my post permalink. Perhaps @snarfed.org can clarify since I’m using https://fed.brid.gy/ to provide that representation.

Either way, is there a validator for the “activities json representation” that we can use to test a particular post permalink, have it auto-discover an activities json representation, and report back what it finds and the validity thereof?

For example, since my posts use the h-entry standard, I am able to validate my post permalinks using the IndieWebifyMe h-entry validator:

https://indiewebify.me/validate-h-entry/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftantek.com%2F2024%2F132%2Ft1%2F

Which finds and validates that I have marked up my hashtags/categories correctly.

Re: “@[email protected]'s Mention there got federated as a Link instead of as a Mention (since replying to this post didn't automatically include flaki's handle)” — this too sounds like a (different) Mastodon bug, since I believe @[email protected] was notified of my reply and mention of their handle. Perhaps Mastodon is getting it half-right: notifying but not canoeing¹?

Did you receive a notification in your Mastodon instance/client of this reply and its mention of your @[email protected]? Or only one but not the other?

@aral It has nothing to do with Mark Fucking Zuckerberg. It has everything to do with the fact that there are some people who post on his shitty site that people might actually want to follow. And yes, it would definitely be preferable if they would join #Mastodon and post here, but since they won't, and since I don't actually want to create an account on Threads, reading those posts here is a compromise. Would you prefer I created an account over there, just so I can follow those people?

As far as I am concerned Zuckerberg could tie a big rock around his ankles and jump out of a boat into a deep lake (and the #Musk Rat could do the same) and it would not bother me. We do not want to #federate because of him. But a year ago everyone was carping day and night about how bad the #birdsite was and how everyone should leave there. Well, that is actually happening, more slowly than it should, but it is happening. And you're just pissed because not all of them are coming to Mastodon. I wish they would, you probably wish they would, but they don't, and that doesn't mean that there is nothing they write that is worth reading!

And if this "I'm going to block your site because you won't block some other site I don't like" nonsense continues, the #Fediverse is going to fall apart pretty fast. I can see it up to a point, nobody wants the nazis and the fascists here, nor spammers. But if you start blocking entire sites just because you don't like the site operator, that doesn't seem to me to be in the spirit of the Fediverse. I thought that users were supposed to be the ones to decide whom to block or not block, and keep in mind that just because someone is using Threads doesn't make them a Zuck fan.

Dear #lazyWeb

I want to see a list of Fediverse servers sorted by the number of users that they do/don't federate with.

Bonus points if I can provide a list of instances or users that I want to have available and filter by just the instances that federate with those.
