Introducing tags.pub
tags.pub is a new service under development by the Social Web Foundation. It is a global hashtag server -- it lets you follow a hashtag across the Fediverse. There's lots of information on the tags.pub home page, and I (Evan) did a talk about tags.pub at FOSDEM 2026. This blog post answers some basics about tags.pub. To follow a hashtag globally, search for a user with that name at tags.pub, like @example for the #example hashtag. Follow that account, and it will share all the […]https://socialwebfoundation.org/2026/03/17/introducing-tags-pub/

But — then, ActivityPods seems to have a spec:
https://activitypods.org/specs/activitypods
And talks about supporting other specs:

When I re-watch this talk (that was originally presented at FOSDEM 2025) —

— it seems as if ActivityPods is software.

One thing that still isn't completely clear to me about ActivityPods is —
Is ActivityPods a specification?, or is ActivityPods software?

Good morning Fedi friends! Please don't mind me as I self-host yet another Fediverse software 🙈
I haven't been able to stop thinking about #Friendica since I watched @Tobias 's presentation at #SocialWebFosdem. It reminded of all the reasons why I fell in love with it last summer.
I stopped using it in Sep, as I experimented with other projects (hello #Sharkey) but I wanna try it again. It's so advanced in many ways.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 48 ✨
Yesterday when I got back from #FOSDEM I found an email in my inbox that gave me a mini-heart attack: a message from my VPS hosting company saying my service had been suspended for running over costs / my card being declined.
The email looked absolutely legit, formatting and branding-wise. But I'm not a fool! I didn't click on any links, just closed it and logged onto my VPS account from another device. I checked billings and resource usage and everything was normal. Ouf. So it was a targeted phishing attack (someone who went through the trouble of looking up my hosting company and finding my contact email address, right when I was traveling and publicly posting from FOSDEM).
Nice try scammer! But you didn't fool me.
Thing is, realistically speaking I could have consumed too many resources. I'm at 75% RAM usage now. As soon as I stop paying for a Ghost(Pro) plan next month, I will upgrade my VPS. And please prevent me from adding another Fediverse app, I'm SOOO tempted to self-host #Friendica too, after re-falling in love with it during a demo at #SocialWebFosdem.
Anyway, today I hit a milestone of sorts: my first experience updating #YunoHost AND 3 different apps (#Fail2Ban #Pixelfed and #GhostIO). Everything went smoothly and my system diagnostics dashboard is all green – just as I like it.
This self-hosting journey is really empowering and the best antidote to my frustration/rage towards Big Tech oligarchs. You can't control my Fedi homes!

Thanks @casey for the gracious mention of FediTest in his FOSDEM presentation.
The phrase was "amazing FediTest project" I think ...

A few of us are getting together for an informal conversation about testing the Fediverse and the open social web tomorrow Sunday at 13:30 at Chez Theo. Come by if you are interested in the social web, and making it work better. And to hang out with like-minded people.
