I talk about the #Fediverse whenever I get a chance. The trick is being receptive, not pushy. Let them try it in their own time.
Only saying this because I now have two long time friends actively participating in the Fediverse where 6 months ago they had no interest.
One was even using an app with AP integration and didn't even know it.
Anecdotal? Absolutely! But our reality is built on our perceptions.
Very excited by this! 😄

I'm getting closer to something showable on my side project, a recipe and baking app, #federated with #ActivityPub, https://cookifed.dev.
I'm not ready to accept new users yet, but @dmathieu@cuisine.social is the first ever #cookifed federated account!

A new fundraising campaign is open to help me keep building Holos and my other projects across every platform. The full story, including what changed since my last attempt, is in the linked post. Thanks for reading, and for sharing.

ActivityPub developer guide is available on Codeberg Pages:
https://ap-next.codeberg.page/ap-next/guide.html
I did that mainly to experiment with the stack:
- Marmite, a static site generator written in Rust. Not perfect, but it's the only one that just worked and didn't make me change the directory layout or add extra information to markdown files.
- New Codeberg Pages service, which uses git-pages instead of the deprecated pages-server.
- Forgejo Actions, which came out of beta recently. Unlike Woodpecker CI, actions didn't require extra configuration steps. Deployment from an action to Codeberg Pages is very easy: https://docs.codeberg.org/codeberg-pages/forgejo-actions/

#Pachli Current now highlights the hashtags you follow. Within a post any hashtags you follow are shown in bold. The info area above a post shows a hash-marker and the first followed tag in the post.
This helps answer the "Why is this post in my timeline?" question.
The attached screenshot shows an example with the #mastodev hashtag.
Thanks to @neatnit, @_nibbles, and @quaff for the suggestions about this.

I've been working on improving Loops federation in preparation to reuse it and it's powerful builder/handler/validation pattern for Pixelfed!
This will solve many federation issues in Pixelfed, like missing comment threading, mentions, blocks and unblocks and much more.
Then I will abstract it into a reusable Laravel package, so any laravel project can easily add federation support in minutes
I also submitted a NLnet grant application for this 🤞

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/116584530249703838
The open nature of fediverse platforms should be more celebrated.
Twitter, Reddit, Instagram and many more platforms closed off API access, and shut out 3rd party developers to monetize every available surface.
Meanwhile, the fediverse is thriving with app developers creating experiences outside of official apps, and everyone loves that.
That is freedom.
We can't take it for granted.

threw this together for a kludge (approximate the complexity of HTML content so I know which renderer to use), but it's the type of thing that makes me miss lisp
```swift
var nodeCount: Int {
getChildNodes().map{ $0.nodeCount }.reduce(childNodeSize(), { $0 + $1 })
}

#Nicolium is one of the best, and most user empowering Fedi front-end, as it gives you a wide range of control upon what you wanna see on your TLs, and how you wanna see it.
And @mkljczk is just one of the best, most patient Dev out there with her users 💚

So today's social media job was setting up #FediProfile. Like many other independent musicians, I have pieces on several platforms. With any luck, FediProfile will be a viable substitute for #Linktree.

I'm comfortable building and designing projects, but I'm honestly bad at promoting them.
I tried a donation call once for a new Mac, but after two hours I felt uncomfortable asking while Holos and my iOS work weren't mature enough to justify it. I closed the campaign and refunded the donors. Ironically, donations came later, on their own, with kind messages, covering about 10% of the computer budget.

We just released Bonfire Social 1.0.3 🔥
Blog post with all the details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...
It comes with dozens of bug fixes and UX improvements, plus:
Federated comments embeddable on any web page.
Deep Ghost integration: SSO, membership tier sync, and automatic article import.
New dashboard widgets: spotlight, polls closing soon, top discussions.
#CalmEmpowerment: a new design pattern that starts with a few sensible defaults, offers a middle layer of common adjustments, and reveals the full options only when you need them. Boundaries and post permissions got this treatment first, more to follow...
Modular community rules: a first step in bringing research and co-design with students and researchers at @hci@micro.blogs.princeton.edu into Bonfire, so governance becomes something communities can better define and share, and that others can fork and adapt.
