#fediversefeeds — Public Fediverse posts

This relay could even use the ActivityPub actor type "Feed".

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.

A relay could represent a community.

And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on

This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server

Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.

Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

I think what @light wants is a Fediverse Custom Feed (rather than a List).

I have been talking about Custom Feeds for the Fediverse.

I will be setting up a demo server for Custom Feeds — so Fediverse developers can ad support for Fediverse Custom Feeds to their software.

(And have something to test again.)

@reiver i built on #fedialgo to make a customizable feed algorithm that is pretty much how i interact with #mastodon these days. it's available as an #npm package.

here's the demo app: https://github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/fedialgo_demo_app_foryoufeed

this is what the demo app looks like:

Creating a Fediverse Custom Feed —

From a programmer's POV, for creating a Fediverse Custom Feed —

The client-side app doesn't care how the content gets into a feed

I.e., it doesn't care what algorithm you did or didn't use to create a Fediverse Custom Feed

You (the program powering the Fediverse Custom Feed) provides content — and the client-side app displays it.

Just set Actor type="Feed".

Fediverse Custom Feeds are a powerful technology!

And are one piece in creating a "plug-in" system for the Fediverse.

The UI/UX part of a Fediverse Custom Feed is making apps understand what to do with a Actor type="Feed" actor.

For example — when the user "Follows" an Actor type="Feed" actor, then the app could make the content from that actor show up next to the home-feed, as an alternative feed.

The Protocol part of a Fediverse Custom Feed is a new Actor Type — the "Feed".

We already have Actor Types:

• Application
• Group
• Organization
• Person
• Service

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#actor-types

Add "Feed" to that list.

A Fediverse Custom Feed is — part UI/UX and part Protocol.

I don't always go on social-media.

But when I do I want Fediverse custom feeds.

John Mastodon wants Fediverse Custom Feeds.

🚨 Fediverse Custom Feeds

Let's make them exist!

Instead of having a single home-feed. You could have multiple feeds of your choosing.

For example—

Do you want a feed of just mutuals — you can do that with Fediverse Custom Feeds.

What about a feed showing just people you follow who do NOT post very often — you can do that with Fediverse Custom Feeds.

If fact, you can any kind of feed you can imagine.

#TIL that you can subscribe to a Mastodon feed using an RSS reader, or even a podcast listening app like AntennaPod. Although that only shows OPs to the feed, not replies or comments. I'm not up on RSS readers and whether they can display fediverse threads.

Anyway, this is just another demonstration of a) the value of open standards, and b) the way different standards can be combined, forming a unified social media space with many ways in

I submitted a Talk Proposal for a talk at FOSDEM 2025 to the FOSDEM organizers.

I have given talks at many conferences. But this is the first time I have submitted anything to FOSDEM.

I will see if it gets accepted or not.

This talk (if accepted) would fall under the Social Web track:

https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/social-web/

The FOSDEM Social Web track is focused on the Fediverse, ActivityPub, etc.

The Fediverse could have custom feeds.

Fediverse front-end client applications just need to add support for it.

(A custom feed could just be an actor that you can put along side the home-feed in the front-end UI.)
