I think I just figured out why the SocialCG prioritised work on encrypted private messaging for ActivityPub.
Decentralised DMs already give the fediverse an edge over the ATmosphere (eg BlueSky DMs are BS-only). If they're all E2EE as well, that puts us head and shoulders above anything the ATProtocol can currently handle.

Are there any other services like https://activitypub.academy/ for easy round-trip testing of ActivityPub development? (but not focused on Mastodon)?

I updated my proof of concept for #fep_0837 with Fedify. In the POC, you can now also use the FEP logic to purchase a certain quantity of a single item. You can test it out here: https://marketplace.playground.54gradsoftware.de/ This basically completes the POC 🎉
The next goal is to implement this logic in a real beta version of the software, which, from an ActivityPub perspective, is the same, but includes real user sign-ups. This will result in a very very simple working shop system and a marketplace aggregating different shops, with the possibility of users buying certain products directly from the marketplace.

@moshidon is a great app, ans still my daily driver for posting here.
One little niggle though, it refuses to save drafts that are longer than 500 characters. Sometimes the reason I want to save a draft is I don't have time right then to trim it down to a postable length, or break it into postable chunks, and I want to do it later.
Would it be possible to get it to save drafts regardless of character count?

Once again I find myself wishing my app had a button for hiding a notification, and issuing a new one for they same post at a specified time (eg in an hour, or same time tomorrow).
If I don't respond to a post right away, the notification about it tends to get lost in the flood of new ones. But I notice that I often respond more thoughtfully after a delay, and that rapid fire discussions can tend to produce more heat than light.

"I would like to relieve the tedium of this posturing by making a suggestion that everyone can hate together. Or, more seriously, I would like to go through a short exercise to demonstrate that it might not be the dumbest thing to pay a little bit more attention to interesting architectural details. This can set the stage for a broader discussion of social media on the Web."

Gestern war ich beim @oklabflensburg und wir haben über das Fediverse und vor allem über Termine im Fediverse gesprochen.
Weil die Frage nach Links aufkam, habe ich ein kleines Codeberg-Repository mit spannenden Links für interessierte Software-Entwickler*innen erstellt, die etwas mit dem Fediverse/ActivitiyPub machen wollen: https://codeberg.org/scammo/howto-fediverse-dev
Falls ihr noch Links oder Empfehlungen habt, immer her damit!

@benjaoming @leanderlindahl #Fedidevs approach to starter packs is reasonable. Use Fedidevs instead. I am a subscription contributor to the #Mastodon project, but even I have to wonder why they bother expending the effort building features like collections and quote posts, when in practice, they are not useful.

@benpate
I think i learned percentages differntly than the #mastodonsocial #fedidevs ? -
Hey #FediDevs I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I've been building ActivityPub software for a while now.
If you had to guess what's keeping me up late at my computer tonight, what would it be?

@timfullerton For your Mastodon account, here are 100 accounts I enjoy, wrapped up in an easy-to-add fedidev follow pack:

Have you ever wondered which cities are mentioned the most in the Fediverse? I did! I built a small tool that checks the hashtags for the biggest cities in DE, AT, CH, NL, GB, IT, FR and DK.
You can see the results on the map here: https://54gradsoftware.codeberg.page/fedi-cities/.
You can find the software here, along with a list of limitations: https://codeberg.org/54GradSoftware/fedi-cities.This is only a small, limited analysis, but you can see lots of dots everywhere, especially in bigger cities, and generally in Germany and the Netherlands. [1/3]

🔥 Calling all bot builders & #Python devs! 🤖
I have a feature request/idea for an "Invite Bot" specifically for our instance, @indeweb.social.
The Idea: A user sends a private mention to the bot, and the bot automatically replies with a valid server invite link that the user can copy/paste to invite their friends.Since it's single-server, it could probably use a pre-generated pool of links or the admin API if config allows.

If you prefer crossposting instead of bridging, Laurie is building something nice for you.

Happy Friday!
Quick question for fediverse developers on how to link to a fediverse profile page on a remote server.

Aiuto! Ma possibile che gli #starterpacks su #fedidevs sono tutti tedeschi?

“Can you win an Oscar for Best ActivityPub Actor?”

Excited to participate in the 7th @fediforum, which started at the top of the hour!
Every 6 months, the people building, operating, using, and cheering on a better open social web get together online to demo, discuss, and dream.

We need @Mastodon to support a multiple choice quiz type of poll. Meanwhile, check your EU law knowledge…

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116402716327956884
There is a substantial amount of funding flagged to assist other fediverse projects that work to implement one of the two FASP systems - either communal media storage or shared moderation - into their platforms. Check it out!

@hello Team #FediGroups, can you give me any information about the software used under the hood, and whether source code is published?

A UX improvement to @Mastodon that might increase usage of Content Warnings; stop counting the text in them against the 500 char limit. Give them their own separate (shorter) limit, maybe 200 characters or less? Something to consult on with people who think it's useful to write long Content Warnings.

Help! I've been thinking so much about decentralized platforms and open protocols lately that my brain has become completely decentralized itself. 🙃
Time to go touch some grass.#Fediverse #Mastodon #ActivityPub #FediDevs #OpenProtocols #DecentralizedPlatforms

top #Danke! Leider kann ich den Account @studentin dem Startpaket nicht hinzufügen, er wird von https://fedidevs.com/ nicht gefunden.
Vielleicht, weil es ein förderiertes #WordPress ist? Könnt ihr dazu etwas sagen: @fedidevs / @fosstodon ?
Auf jeden Fall wäre es cool, wenn in mehr öffentlichen Räumen "Folgt mir/uns im Fediverse"-Sticker zu sehen wären! #RealLifeSichtbarkeit

I know there is some ongoing work, eg. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-07d7-a-custom-url-scheme-and-web-based-protocol-handlers-for-linking-to-activitypub-resources/3588.
Some people will argue against this, but the Atmosphere is (slowly) decentralizing (https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116126040489956521) and it will soon run into the same issues we're dealing with, like being asked to log in when you click a link to a post that's not on your server/AppView/what have you.
I'm sure they will figure this out, with their deep crypto VC money pockets, but if we can figure this out first, it could really give us a major advantage.
