Think of a publisher, and there's a good chance they'll have a Flipboard account. Now, we're in the process of federating them. Publishers — like just about everyone we know — have a hard time getting their heads around the fediverse and what it means to federate your Flipboard account, so @jejord has written this blogpost. In it, she explains the fediverse, what Flipboard federation looks like, the value of our Magazine feeds, and why we think all this is important. "The fediverse is potentially the One Ecosystem to Rule Them All, and is estimated to grow to 170M users by the end of 2024," writes Jessica.
> "In late 2022, I blogged about the work needed to develop a specification for end-to-end encryption for the #fediverse. I sketched out some of the key management components on GitHub, and then the public work abruptly stalled. A few of you have wondered what’s the deal with that. This post covers why this effort stalled, what I’m proposing we do next."
So, I am trying to get the ActivityPub module working on a core Drupal site. I have installed it and I see no real issues. But once I get it setup and enabled on an Account I am supposed to be able to search that account. So far I haven't been....
Not sure if this will reach out to anyone who can answer, but I've been learning a bit about the #Nostr protocol, and it claims to be better against censorship and muuuch simpler that #ActivityPub. However, what are the downsides of Nostr, compared to APub? Less censorship = more bots? Simpler protocol = lacking good built-in defences against unknow threats, or something like that?
It almost feels like Mastodon do not want us to self host. There is no direct link on the main webpage to install on server. Digging through the docs, finally found documentation and there is no Docker container or a package for any OS for easy installation. They require us to install from source along with all the dependencies. I don't mean to bad mouth it but they do not do enough to encourage self hosting (if not discourage).
Would like to know your opinions or ideas on how to self host it easily with minimum maintenance (auto upgrades, etc).
