♲ @[email protected]:Socialhome.Network as a searchable federation archive
The Socialhome node socialhome.network/ is both widely federated AND searchable by non-members. It displays both posts AND profile pages even to non-members, which is NOT the case for Diaspora* pods.
If you're looking for specific content from a now-defunct pod, Socialhome may be able to turn that up for you.
You can search for a specific profile by the its handle, e.g.,[email protected]or[email protected], for my present and now-defunct Joindiaspora profiles, using the site's Search feature.
My (now-offline at origin) Joindiaspora profile appears as:
socialhome.network/p/702b2f0c-…
Note that the profile GUID is NOT the same as it would be for my Joindiaspora profle itself (`d8210c0de509264f``). The Diaspora* GUID can be used to construct a URL visible from the Diaspora* Pod you have an account on and are logged in to, but not as a globally-viewable third-party-accessible URL. Socialhome solves this problem.
That is, if you are on Glasswings, this URL links to my Joindiaspora profile:
diaspora.glasswings.com/people…
But if you're not, it won't. Glasswings users might try a different pod such as Diasp.org:
diasp.org/people/d8210c0de5092…
Instead, third-party visitors are presented with a log-in / registration page. Socialhome solves this problem specifically.
There may be additional features / API apparent at the Socialhome GitLab repo: git.feneas.org/socialhome/soci…
Noting that that is a FENEAS URL, also likely to go offline in the near future, GitHub:
github.com/jaywink/socialhomeLimitations
The downsides to Socialhome seem to be that:- References to content and profiles does not follow Diaspora*-assigned GUIDs. That is, there's no automated way to refernece a specific post or profile.
- I'm not seeing an obvious way of exposing a JSON abstract of posts or profiles --- the Diaspora* trick of appending
.jsonto the end of a URL does not work, and I'm not seeing a JSON abstract in the raw HTML. There may still be an API.
It's not clear how widely or deeply content is federated, though some should be better than none. This option was brought to my attention by @isaackuo in comments here.

♲ @[email protected]:Hello JoinDiaspora
there is some unfortunate news to share. Feneas will be dissolved and as Joindiaspora is one of the services.
JD will also be shut down on 1 March.
This is unless we can find someone who wants to take over the service.
If you think you can handle the task please contact us via [email protected].
You can find the original post below or via git.feneas.org/feneas/associat…Federated Networks Association ry will be dissolved
Due to recent lack of activity within the association, issues maintaining the current services and lack of new committee members wanting to step up, the members of Federated Networks Association ry (Feneas) have decided to dissolve the association. The decision to do so was done as per the rules of the association in two Annual General Meetings held no more than 30 days apart. You can find the meeting logs via the below links:- 9th December 2021 - git.feneas.org/feneas/associat…
- 4th January 2022 - git.feneas.org/feneas/associat…
What happens next?
- The current committee will start to send out service closure warnings to all users using the current services.
- The timeline of shutting down the services is as follows:
- Discourse (talk.feneas.org) will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of February (UTC morning time).
- Friendica (friendica.feneas.org) will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of February (UTC morning time).
- The following services will be shut down on or soon after the 1st of March (UTC morning time). This includes:
- Matrix (matrix.feneas.org), Element client (chat.feneas.org) and the various bots
- GitLab (git.feneas.org)
- Searx (searx.feneas.org)
- Etherpad (pad.feneas.org)
- Nextcloud (cloud.feneas.org)
- Before turning off the Matrix homeserver, all local users will be deactivated, parting them from all the rooms they have joined. This will start happening on the 1st of March (UTC morning), with the homeserver turned off a few days after the process ends.
- JoinDiaspora (joindiaspora.com) will inform soon separately about the situation for that service via the official [email protected] account.
- WeDistribute (wedistribute.org) are Fediverse Party (fediverse.party) will be announced once the stakeholders for those services have been contacted fully. They are expected to re-own their service for their own hosting, but if that doesn't happen, the services will shut down on a date agreed with the stakeholders.
- All remaining data will be destroyed on or soon after the 1st of April. This will include backups. Some exemptions will be;
- membership details will be kept until necessary by law (date to be cleared)
- financial details will be kept until necessary by law (date to be cleared)
- the public repositories of the association on the GitLab instance will be mirrored on GitLab.com. These can be found from git.feneas.org/feneas
- The feneas.org domain will be handed over to standing committee vice-president Lukas Matt as agreed in the 4th January AGM. A static website will be hosted there to give details on what Feneas was and what happened to it.
- The Matrix homeserver server key will be securely stored should the homeserver ever need to come back online. All other homeserver data will be destroyed.
- Once all the services have been ramped down or moved over, and data destroyed, any accounts left over will be closed and the association will be terminated in the Finnish associations registry.
- As agreed in the 4th January AGM, if any funds remain in the Feneas bank account (possibly in the amount of tens of euros), they will be donated to Framasoft.
So long and thanks for federating
As the Feneas committee president and founding member, I want to thank all the members and users who trusted Feneas over the years. It's been a good and often fun 3,5 years of Feneas. While we managed to create a sometimes vibrant collection of services and attract people and projects from around the Fediverse, ultimately we failed to build a community that would last longer than the amount of time founding members could dedicate a good chunk of their life. For both the main founders (Lukas and me, Jason) real life and other priorities caught up with us, and thus it's time to move forward. It was also clear from the discussions at the end that not enough active community members exist to keep the association afloat. I'm personally happy we did this project, even though it had to reach its end.
Our chat rooms are still active over at Matrix (#feneas:feneas.org) and Libera (#feneas). If you have questions, for example about exporting your data, or just want to say hi, feel free to pop in. At least the main chatroom is going to stay alive after the association is finally taken off the official association registry, so you're welcome to say hi even afterwards.
If you have concerns or questions you can also reach out via email with generic questions to[email protected]or[email protected](for privacy queries). You can also reach me via a private message on Matrix at@jaywink:federator.dev.
All the best to everyone!
Best regards,
Jason Robinson

It's early days as of yet: due to #FENEAS dissolving as an organization, I am looking at the possibility of spinning #WeDistribute back off into its own self-hosted media publication again.
We Distribute has only been sporadically updated in recent years (primarily my fault), but in the past has served as an exclusive news publication dedicated to the development and the advancement of the #Fediverse and other decentralized communication technologies. I'm looking into reviving it in a healthy way where I can reliably put out news week after week.
I've started a LibrePay team to see if there's a way to cover the month-to-month hosting costs for project infrastructure: https://liberapay.com/WeDistribute/ -

@dredmorbius This is so sad indeed. It is unfortunate that I sent my email to join the association too late!
I hope associations like this could still flourish in the future, and above all that #FENEAS dissolving does not mean that #federation and the #Fediverse are deteriorating, too.

Federated Networks Association ry will be dissolved
This is an organisation and number of services based around federated and decentralised systems. The disbanding of FENEAS affects several instances of distributed services, but not the services as a whole themselves.
It does however mean that my own home on the Diaspora network https://joindiaspora.com, will be going offline.

With the possible advent of #FENEAS ramping down its organizations, I've been thinking about the possibility of (once again) rebooting WeDistribute and putting it into an easier, lighter publishing system.
Is there still an interest in reading news about the development of the #fediverse? What kind of things would you want to see? -

Hey @Gargron , whatever happened to Mastodon Bridge? I know it's been a while, but last I checked it's not a thing anymore?
I really loved the concept: it was very useful for discovering mutuals on the fediverse! I was curious as to whether there were specific reasons for shutting it down.
I ask because I kind of wonder whether this might be a good project for #Feneas, but I have no idea about whether there was a Big Serious Reason for not doing it anymore. -

#feneas:feneas.orgJust to be clear, Feneas.org is an organisation, not a single software instance. But financial members get full use of accounts on all the services they run, including Friendica (OStatus, Diaspora, ActivityPub protocols), Synapse (Matrix), and GitLab (Git).

CW: WeDistribute
Might give up on #WeDistribute for a while. It's been a fun experience, but my update cycle has gotten slower and slower. I'm technically sort of homeless right now (there's a roof over my head, don't worry), and without Internet, it's very difficult to keep writing.
I haven't had much success with getting other people to write for it. Maybe it's best to just step back and let someone else at #Feneas run it, I dunno. I'm going away to military basic training soon, so I need to look into some kind of continency.
I just feel burned out and behind on everything, and I kind of just want to drop dead for a while. I'm not sure many people read it, if I'm being honest, and I'm not sure it was ever that good to begin with.
Might try to send out some emails for interviews and publish those. Might still write a piece here or there. But, if I'm being honest, I'm a wreck. -

"It has become clear that a large focus of the [#Feneas] association is hosting services for members and non-members. For this we have expanded the admin team during 2019 and moved to a new Kubernetes based infrastructure"

Membership of #Feneas (Federated Networks Association) is 1 Euro per month, which works out as about US$13 per year, (or NZ$20). I'm going to join, and if you are a software creator or activist working towards federated replacements for any centralized digital technologies, I encourage you to consider doing the same:

♲ @[email protected]:Day 1 finished at the #Feneas #hackathon before #FOSDEM!
Our brand new #kubernetes cluster is now up and running 👍 It's hosted at Hetzner in Helsinki, like the previous servers, crafted by @{https://diaspodon.fr/users/zauberstuhl}, and all the k8s definitions and the #Ansible to maintain them will be #opensource sometime a little later. We plan to open source the whole new kube based infra stack so anyone in the community can contribute to adding and modifying services via merge requests.
Currently the new cluster only runs #Prometheus, #Grafana and some other supporting services. Today we'll be migrating some existing services to the new cluster with the plan of migrating everything within the coming few weeks.
On with day 2!

Feneas and SocialHub
We recently reached out to the SocialHub.network admins to talk about helping to run the #forum in exchange for expanding the scope to better fit our focus, ie #federated web more in general than just #ActivityPub (even though it's a big focus atm for everyone).
If you don't know what #SocialHub is; it's a #Discourse forum for ActivityPub discussion, mostly so far focusing on #Pixelfed, #Prismo, #Funkwhale and #Anfora projects. The current admins want to pass the maintenance on due to time constraints.
There has been some heated debate whether #Feneas is the right organization to host this community. If you want to contribute to the discussion, to give your thoughts pro/against, please feel free to do so: socialhub.network/t/feneas-han…
We're in the process of writing a #FOSS manifesto partially in response to the concerns noted in this discussion.
If this doesn't work out, we'll need to ponder whether we then want to run a separate Discourse instance or do we just ditch the idea of a generic federated web forum for now.

Great! My Conversations, using @xj9 's #biboumi bridge, is on #oggcastplanet, #librelounge and #pleroma-offtopic, but #feneas is relevant to my interests anyway, so I joined there as well now.
