High-level Fediverse statistics from the PixelFed team.

The goal of this tutorial is to illustrate how to build a simple Fediverse server using the bovine framework.

Tracking adoption of current drafts of HTTP Signatures across the Fediverse.

The Federated SNS (social network service/system) timeline is a simple list of its history. To put it another way, it is a record of how the Fediverse came to be. This is only one part of the larger Federated Social Web. For this list, we defined SNS as services meant for posting updates (microblogging, macro-blogging, blogging), uploading images, leaving comments, re-sharing, and liking; or simply, the Fediverse.

Lessons learned from making apps that play nice with the fediverse.

Proposals for new features to improve the Fediverse.

There are a number of issues with the decentralized nature of the Fediverse. One of them is that we are not seeing replies from people we do not follow.

The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and content.

General discussion for Fediverse development topics.

This is the second in a series of posts where the Robert W. Gehls shares his notes on his readings of the minutes of the Social Web Working Group. The first one is here. Future posts to come. In this section, He covers the development of ActivityStreams 2.0, the first goal of the SocialWG charter.
