with all the meta about the new social network called W going on I thought it was funny I just discovered a new flavor of #fediverse server at z.org. Looks like its author @maxfield got federation working last month and they named the software #Elektrine#fedidev
RE: varese.social/@emanuelecariatiAndré Menrath (@linos) did a great talk called [Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse] that I only just now got a chance to watch. This is an area of the #fediverse that really doesn't get enough attention, and the work that André is doing with event-federation.eu is super excellent. Anyway watch the presentation here vimeo.com/1137648835 and let's get events fully federating with all their depth and nuance intact!#fediverse #fedidev
I’ve seen hints of backfill working really well, but hadn’t seen good examples until recently. As more and more instances upgrade to the newer versions of Mastodon that support context, backfill from Mastodon instances will improve across the board.
[Fedify] is a #TypeScript framework for building #ActivityPub servers that participate in the #fediverse. It reduces the complexity and boilerplate typically required for ActivityPub implementation while providing comprehensive federation capabilities.
Found this helpful resource by Ben Boyter (@boyter@honk.boyter.org): a collection of sequence diagrams explaining how #ActivityPub/#WebFinger works in practice—covering post creation, follows, boosts, deletions, and user migration.
A ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) vulnerability has been discovered in Fedify’s HTML parsing code. This vulnerability could allow a malicious federated server to cause denial of service by sending specially crafted HTML responses.
A while back I mentioned the idea of “Fedify Studio”—a web-based toolkit for #ActivityPub debugging and development. I’ve been quietly working on shaping that idea into something more concrete.
