soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
#SiliconBeest looks really interesting! The previous implementation of #ActivityPub on #CloudFlare, #Wildebeest, was kind of a hassle to spin up. I'm interested to see what the uptake is with this one. The creator @siliconsjang says they want to make it fit in the $5/month tier at CloudFlare, which sounds pretty good. Also, cool to see that it uses #Fedify for federation.
Is there somewhere a good open source software in Python to act as bridge between RSS and ActivityPub act as actor? Before I write something new.

There are nice things in this "timeline", so let's find opportunities to be grateful!
Because this was double-posted (microblog Note + blog Article) on my timeline, I will copy/paste here, that on the delightful fediverse experience curated list I have a separate category for #GeoSocialNetworking solutions ..

🆕 blog! “Scattered thoughts on social geolocation”
I want to be able to share my location with my friends on social media. Twitter (RIP) had a way to attach an optional location to a post. Facebook still lets me check in to venues. But neither ActivityPub (Mastodon) nor AT Protocol (BlueSky) allow me …

Good morning Fedi friends,
I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.
My way of coping?
Teaching people how to self-host their own Fediverse profile (using the superb #GoToSocial) via #YunoHost.
Chapter 1 in this series is available here:
@octade thanks!
There's also a list for client software and another one for #ActivityPub developers speccifically. I am currently in the process of significantly updating them :)

For the #ActivityPub and #ForgeFed implementation the #Forgejo contrib organization on #Codeberg has a separate repository and a roadmap they keep up-to-date. See:
https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md
I just now found a self-hosted fediverse server that allows connection and administration via SSH. So far its setup instructions are the simplest I've seen for any ActivityPub server software.
#Fediverse #ActivityPub #SSH #stegadon #social #SelfHosted #WebMaster #WebLord
#TIL about #Harmony, a bleeding-edge project to build a decentralised replacement for Miscord using ActivityPub, E2EE using Vodozemac, a cryptography library used in Matrix software;
Source code is on GritHub, under AGPL;
https://github.com/zcharef/harmony
Anyone know anything about this? So far I haven't been able to find fediverse accounts for the project itself, or the creator.
Check out https://rel.re #relre if you are looking for a strong #activitypub #relay , I'm constantly trying to improve it or find quirks of specific relaying implementations to support as many AP services as possible (that do relaying). tor onion relaying also possible. (oh now that i think about it, ill generate a tor onion link for relre)
The #W3C is working on end-to-end encryption #E2EE for #ActivityPub, with three main goals: enabling #encryptedmessages with attachments, ensuring #correctencryption, and verifying #usercontrol of signing keys. The Fundamental Goal is being addressed by the SWICG’s ActivityPub E2EE project team, while the Security Goal requires client software to authenticate KeyPackages. https://soatok.blog/2026/07/15/the-long-tail-of-work-left-until-activitypub-has-e2ee/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
Flohmarkt is a free open platform for small ads and selling things ("Flohmarkt" is the German for flea market). It's part of the Fediverse so the small ads can federate to other servers, and people can interact with Flohmarkt from Mastodon etc accounts.
If you want to post or browse adverts there is a server list:
🌱 https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances
There is techy info on their Codeberg page:

You can follow their lead dev's account at:
#HolosSocial relay is confirmed to be very stable. I will officially tag it soon so admins can run their own relay with a script to easily install it on their VPS.
Using Holos with a custom domain and a cloud for media allows you to own your portable identity on the #Fediverse. Relays become only an infrastructure for it. Your device runs the #ActivityPub server and works as smoothly as any other app. Micro-blogging, media, and video, all from a single account. Switch with a simple tap.
In a few days, the last brick of the relay server will be published for an official release and a tag.
A lot of stress when you are alone, but after a few weeks the work has paid off, it is really stable.
Running your own #ActivityPub server on your phone will be as simple as using any other app. You will not be limited to a lookalike: micro-blogging, media, videos, all you want in a simple tap.
Are you into 3D printing, self-hosting and the Fediverse?
If so you might want to look into Manyfold, a FOSS Fediverse platform which lets you upload and share 3D print models:
You can follow the official accounts at:
🌱 @manyfold@3dp.chat (main)
🌱 @manyfold@makertube.net (videos)
You can host your own Manyfold server using the instructions at https://manyfold.app/get-started/installation (be warned though, installation does require a bit of tech skill).

Holos - Your Device is Your Fediverse Server
Holos turns your phone or computer into a full ActivityPub server. No big-tech hosting, no middleman reading your posts. A relay keeps your identity online 24/7 while your device stays in your pocket.
@cwebber @dweb yes! I am doing a workshop on programming with the #ActivityPubAPI, and another intro to #ActivityPub. I'm going to try to demo #tagspub too.

When X, Meta and TikTok relaxed their rules on hate speech, racism and transphobia, they didn't undermine the open social web.
They proved why this needs to exist.
Safety and mental health come first here. They're the foundation everything else stands on.
Not optional. Not negotiable. The vulnerable come first, always.
I have a roadmap to improve this, and I'll soon be asking for your feedback to make these spaces safer for the people who need them most.
@fossnorth a question..
Was your previous domain location conf.tube perhaps? If so, on conf.tube were the videos of the #ActivityPub 2020 conference, which I cannot find on the new #Peertube location.
Looking specifically for @darius talk https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/lets-play-and-win-our-own-game/953
