@darius pump.io doesn't support #ActivityPub or #OStatus yet lol

Hey fediverse admins, have you made sure your instance is being counted by https://the-federation.info/ ? I love being able to respond with that stats site URL when people say "nobody uses federated social networks" elsewhere on the web :) It now counts nodes running any one of 36 server apps, across 9 federation protocols, including #OStatus, and #ActivityPub, reporting about 2 1/2 million users.

@lj_writes I agree with Mike here, AP provides for many functions that aren't yet implemented across all the #fediverse apps, because they couldn't be federated under #OStatus (the older standard #Mastodon adopted from #StatusNet / #GNUsocial) or choices were made not to use them (eg groups in Mastodon). @mike can you recommend the DW crew a more general resource on implementing AP than the Mastodon one they are looking at?

... needs clarification that this requires starting from scratch with no followers. Proper server>server migration is an unsolved problem in #OStatus and #ActivityPub apps, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future (unlike #Zot app like #Hubzilla that have #NomadicIdentity)

Check out the recent updates to the #fediverse guide:
http://fediverse.party/

The front page showcases federated apps that are mature, aimed at average users (no geek superpowers required to use), and federate robustly using either one of the widely used federation standards; #ActivityPub, #Diaspora, or #OStatus. New pages have been added to include a range of up and coming apps that don't (yet) tick all of those boxes.

... and you don't. That's the whole point of open, federated protocols like #OStatus and #ActivityPub (and even the Diaspora variant of OStatus). The apps that use these are not monocultures (in the #IndieWeb sense) and never have been. !groups exist in OStatus and in AP, but working implementations are still in progress.

@KevinMarks @bhaugen @cwebber @neil #WebFinger isn't part of the AP spec (AFAIK). It's just something Mastodon (and Pleroma) bolt on, so people can continue to use the familiar user@domain.foo ID format, and (I assume) to maintain backwards compatibility with #OStatus.

@Ashenr2 @pathumego A large part of the #fediverse is now built on #ActivityPub . Some use #ostatus and #websub I think....

@rick_777 @frankiesaxx @crickxson some of the apps haven't finished their implementations of #ActivityPub yet, and are still federating with Mastodon via #OStatus. I'm hopeful most of them will roll it out by the end of the year (or at the lastest mid-2019). In the meantime, the behaviour of the meta-federation of all the apps remains *very* complicated to explain to newbies ;) Email was probably the same in its first few years (#FidoNet between #BBS prior to the net etc)

> core innovation of mastodon

Yup, the core innovation of Mastodon was to build on something that already existed (#GNUsocial and #OStatus), and offer an alternative way of interacting with that network. People liked the new UI better, and it came out about the same time people were getting frustrated with the corporatization of the birdsite following its IPO, so Mastodon got a lot more tech press than the older apps on the same network ever did.

@aidalgol the fediverse actually includes other federation protocols cause it originated as a word referring to #ostatus based platforms like statusnet and gnusocial and I would consider diaspora part of it as well even though others may bicker. http://fediverse.party lists a bunch of different platforms and they dont all use #activitypub.

@jdormit @pfefferle is/was working on one. they built the previous incarnation which was an #ostatus plugin for wordpress which is the precursor to #activitypub

@kris I don't know. Probably because of #OStatus. Here is what I have on #Tusky.

Anyone know of any federated servers for sharing photography? Specifically a standard federation protocol (like ActivityPub or OStatus). I know there is MediaGoblin but it only works with other MediaGoblin instances.

#ActivityPub #OStatus #MediaGoblin

So I'm going to setup a PeerTube and a NextCloud for my instance. Going to try out Plume too though I wont guarantee that one stays online (so use at your own risk).

Any suggestions for other ActivityPub or OStatus based servers?

#ActivityPub #OStatus #PeerTube #NextCloud

I think I will revive my takeover of someone else’s federated social network software and implement a conversation-oriented application that communicates via the #Fediverse ( #OStatus and #ActivityPub) + the #Federation ( #Diaspora) and implements some features from #Friendica’s #DFRN and #HubZilla’s #Zot. (Plus some #XMPP interfaces; I’d love to see the various socnet XEPs in action, and it is painful to watch all those chat apps reimplement XMPP’s features poorly.

@deadsuperhero @dansup @wakest @pfefferle @Bat
Quite a few WP plug-ins have experimented with #fediverse integration with both #OStatus and #ActivityPub. Would definitely be good to see all this effort pooled
