ActivityPub standardization is back! The just announced a new Working Group to evolve and and related standards! This is extremely good news. It's not like all the world's federated social media protocol problems were already solved! https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-socialweb/2026Jan/0000.html

Implementing QuotePosts in Loops is taking a tad longer than expected.

I don't understand why they require a QuoteRequest handshake if the interactionPolicy is public, seems overengineered and wasteful to me.

🏄🏻🎉 There's a new beta for Surf available on TestFlight and Google Play. As well as the usual performance improvements and bug fixes, we've made some updates to the Surf Shop. Tap Discover Feeds in your sidebar to check out what's new and find inspiration for when you create your own feeds.

If you mention a group account (lemmy, piefed, guppy, etc.) in your post, fediverse clients should either remove options other than public for visibility of the post (unlisted, direct, followers only), or at least warn the user that their post's audience may not match their expectations.

I've just published version 2.88 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

If disable_emojireact is set to true in server.json, EmojiReacts (incoming and outgoing) are totally disabled.

New command-line option top_ten, that returns the top ten most popular posts by a user (ordered by the sum of likes and boosts) (contributed by aov).

Added a new set of per-user muted words; if a post contains any of them, it's hidden behind a dropdown (contributed by byte).

If an account has a metadata named pronouns, it's shown by the name (contributed by violette).

Mastodon API: children of a post are returned recursively, not just the first level (contributed by violette).

Implemented optional metadata stripping for images and videos using external tools (contributed by Stefano Marinelli).

They also are ActivityPub objects that expand to the full id ✨

We use snowflake ids, then hashids in permalinks that expand. It's beautifully simple, yet clever.
