  1. 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 […]

  2. #SocialWebFOSDEM if you're out in Brussels tonight, try to pass through À la Bécasse. I'll be there around 9 or 10. Not a scheduled or organized event; just a slightly higher probability of running into people from the Fediverse. Warning: it can get crowded! #fosdem2026

  4. On stage now, @django — arguing for widespread adoption of ActivityPub client-server (C2S) protocol.

  5. Mentioned by @andypiper :

    The Mastodon team is planning to release a universal "share" button.

  6. Speaker on stage in the Social Web room at FOSDEM 2026 is arguing for open-source Fediverse projects to do product-development.

    Although he is framing it in terms of building for a community.

    I agree with him. Although, I think it is true of open-source projects in general.

    (For completeness — others have said that, too.)
