What are the *technical* steps behind moving a Mastodon account?
I understand how to do it from a user perspective (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/#move) but what does the new server need to do?
Is it as simple as adding an "aliases" to the webfinger?
This is the first #Elgg account in #Fediverse via #ActivityPub integration https://indieweb.social/@developer@demo.wzm.me
Just testing.

Hey 3D printing people on the Fediverse!
There's a new Fediverse-compatible 3D model manager called Manyfold, which is sort of a self-hostable alternative to Thingiverse. You can follow Manyfold's account at:
➡️ @manyfold
The Manyfold website is at:
It's a free open source self-hostable site for storing 3D models, especially 3D printing models. Accounts on Manyfold servers can now be followed from Mastodon etc.
[strong]Frage: Warum wird in Friendica ein weitergesagter Beitrag von einen anderen Friendica Account anders als ein weitergesagter Beitrag von einen anderen via ActivityPub verbundenen Account behandelt?[/strong]
Wenn ich einen Beitrag von einen Friendica Account normal weitersage, also nicht zitiere, sieht das so aus:
Wenn ich hingegen einen Beitrag der via ActivityPub kommt weitersage sieht das so aus:
Hat es einen Hintergrund das das so unterschiedlich gehandhabt wird? Die Variante mit dem weitergesagten Beitrag von einen Friendica Account sieht eher wie das Zitieren aus, dass man bei einen Diaspora Account hat.

Hello fediverse!
This morning we shipped an exciting new version of #Flipboard that enables *anyone* on Flipboard to follow *anyone* in the fediverse.
This is the culmination of a ton of work to deeply integrate #ActivityPub into the product. The result is incredibly seamless.
Just tap on the search icon in Flipboard and tap the follow button for anyone featured there or that you find in search. You’ll soon start seeing their posts in all of your relevant Flipboard feeds.
Check the screenshots below and read this post to learn more:

Should #Shadertoy have #ActivityPub / #Fediverse support? 🤔
I have an account there, containing a dodgy old raytracing experiment. But I like looking at other people's stuff.
The site already has profiles, posts, likes, follow mechanics.
It's fun to think about how one would federate Shadertoy posts. HTML iframe with a fallback animated GIF somehow?
The site lets high-tier Patreon supporters make feature suggestions. Any Shadertoy enthusiasts interested in asking?

Post from @rabble on why he's chosen to use #Nostr and not #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. He makes some compelling points. Personally I am not too worried about the server admin parts of his argument (I have enough control, even if I don't control the server), but I agree that this isn't ideal:
"You can’t use a single fediverse identity with your profile and followers in Peertube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely, and Pixelfed. You need a totally separate account in each one."

The Podcast Index has an ActivityPub implementation, and now I can follow some of my more irreverent non-techie podcasts directly on the fediverse. So cool! Hopefully they'll add a Follow button soon...but in the meantime:

Activitypub or Atproto ... one item that both Mastodon have in common with Bluesky is amount of "spam" links and accounts boosting those "spammy" accounts
Several "award winning art / photo" profiles I saw had 5 or more links including their pinned post

We need ActivityPub platforms that go beyond core social media concepts. @bonfire is exploring modular extensions and access control as building blocks for creative ideas.
Here's my guide to the install process on my little homelab system.
RE: Kuroneko incident
#fediadmins are advised to temporarily disable sign-ups for now, or implement some anti-spam measure to limit signups to not get spammed.
Currently they are targeting #misskey and #mastodon, but other #activitypub servers may soon be targeted.
More details will be posted soon. Stay tuned. #fediblock#fediadmin#fedadmins#mastodadmin#misskeyadmin#cybersecurity#spam
We’ve just published an update about this Mastodon trial which has been running for the last 6 months – you can read it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-extending-our-mastodon-social-media-trial
We are going to continue our trial here for at least another six months while we share our findings internally and seek more engagement from other BBC teams. We are also planning to start researching ways to publish more BBC content using ActivityPub.

I’m going to attempt to explain in general terms how I think about an #ActivityPub bridge.
I’m over on Bluesky. I see this interesting ActivityPub account coop-AT-cosocial-dot-ca. I’d like to follow it!
It has open follows, so the bridge subscribes to that account on my behalf. It’s kind of like a “bridge instance”.
Depending on how the bridge is implemented, maybe you see boris-bluesky-AT-bridge-instance
Ryan Barrett posted about his forthcoming #ATProtocol <> #ActivityPub bridge and had a lot of people lose their minds
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://snarfed.org/2024-02-12_52106
He wrote a great article back in January entitled “Moderate people, not code” that is good background
> “Whether ActivityPub or ATProto or webmention, the underlying technical protocol a community uses to interact online is a poor way to judge who they are and whether you might like them.”

Image upload works! And those photos percolate through the #fediverse!
I still need to add proper alt text (just a static description for now).
And the UI is 💩
But I'm pretty pleased with how far I've got in a few hours of hacking away.
It is *totally* possible to build a location-based service on top of #OSM and #ActivityPub!

Great to see the ActivtyPub Plugin continue on a fast development timeline:
The WordPress ActivityPub plugin has been updated to version 2.0. The major feature of the release is better comment federation. Comments are now properly threaded, which makes it much easier to follow and understand threads where people are replying to each other. Comments are now also bidirectionally federated. Creator @pfefferle explains:“When you respond to comments from the fediverse on your blog, they will now be federated. This allows you to finally engage in (threaded) communication back and forth directly from the comment section of your blog!”

I think that fully integrating #ActivityPub into Flipboard's backend is going to be one of the best things we've done since we started the company.
There are three phases:
Phase 1 (Today): Federate 25 accounts to test and learn
Phase 2 (January): Enable anyone in the Fediverse to engage with any public curator on Flipboard
Phase 3 (April): Enable anyone on Flipboard to follow and engage with any public account in the #Fediverse

Advocates for #ActivityPub - IF YOU HAVE A #WORDPRESS SITE, have you installed the ActivityPub plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
At the State of the Word address this week, Matt Mullenweg was asked about support for the plugin, and he commented that less than 5,000 sites had installed it. So he wasn't sure how interested people are in it.
So... if you have a WP site, let's start installing that plugin and making more sites available via ActivityPub! 😀

Every now and then, technologists are able to translate their strongly held beliefs into action for the benefit of society. Sometimes these actions result in new features, apps or platforms but it's especially powerful when this happens at the protocol level.

I've been working on the command-line API client, ap, for the #ActivityPub book I'm writing for O'Reilly Media. It's a Python program that implements commands like `ap inbox` (read the inbox) and `ap reject follower` (reject a pending follower).
Originally, I was testing it live, just running it against onepage.pub. This weekend, I buckled down and wrote real unit tests with unittest.mock. It's been amazing; what a great tool.

For this weekend's coding project, I built a tiny single-user Bluesky→ActivityPub one-way bridge I named “Pinhole”. If there's someone on Bluesky whose posts you want in your Mastodon feed, you can download and run it yourself: 
https://fietkau.software/pinhole
Caveats: 1. I intentionally built it anti-scalable: you can use it to follow one Bluesky account from one fedi account, and that's it. 2. You need experience with web servers.
