There is now a free open self-hostable Fediverse trail recorder called Wanderer. You can upload GPS data directly and it also lets you import your data from Strava and Komoot.

Wanderer is federated through ActivityPub so Wanderer servers can connect to other Wanderer servers and Mastodon etc servers too. More info at the official website:

Programming Mission: Let’s Fix the Fediverse Discovery Gap

Here’s a small but powerful challenge for #openweb builders – and a perfect #DIY project if you’re fed up with the current #geekproblem. I’ve been trying to find #Fediverse instances that actually cover my town, Oxford, UK, so I can help promote and grow them locally. You’d think this would be simple, right? But… nope.

Tried the standard “instance pickers”? Dead ends. Tried generic web searches? Useless #SEO sludge. Tried maps like this one, a good start […]

L'article de TechCrunch defensa #Bluesky davant la crítica ideològica, i té raó: no podem reduir-ho tot a una guerra de faccions.

techcrunch.com/2025/06/12/bluesky-backlash-misses-the-point/

Però oblida el més important: #Bluesky no és descentralitzat de veritat. Quan cauen els relays oficials, cau tot.

El #Fedivers amb #ActivityPub no depèn d’un sol punt. I això sí que és autonomia digital.

I published the following post on the @wceh site and the Edmonton #WordPress Meetup site (wpyeg.ca) via #WordLand (wordland.social). WPYEG.ca is federated with #activitypub, so people following it on platforms like Mastodon can see it too. (For example, edmontonian.social, mstdn.ca, ottawa.place, and wptoots.social.)

ActivityPub,nostr,diaspora,at protocol(ne kadar merkeziyetsizliği savunuyor tartışılır) dışında bildiğiniz kullandığınız sosyal medya protokolleri var mı?

Not:Matrix,xmpp vb. önermeyin mesajlaşma için değil.Mastodon,lemmy,pixelfed vb. önermeyin protokol soruyorum.

Jeden Verein, jede Organisation, der oder die Wordpress einsetzt, muss man eigentlich nur umwerben, das #Wordpress-Plugin #ActivityPub einzusetzen. Schon allein dadurch wüchse das Fediverse binnen Wochen um (regional) relevanten Content und lokale Communities. Das könnte man als eine kettenbriefartige Kampagne anlegen bzw. als Mitmach-Challenge. Ein kleines Video-Tutorial, fertig. @_elena @kuketzblog Wie wär's?

ΩΩ
new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.

there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

Today I stumbled upon Wanderer, a self-hosted trail database It's quite timely as I was a big fan of Komoot, until its recent acquisition by Bending Spoons, who has since laid off most of the team, so it's good to know there is an alternative, which is both open-source and supports ActivityPub. https://wanderer.to/ #Komoot #SelfHosting #ActivityPub

The #fediverse family just grew! You now can share and interact with trails using #wanderer ! I love this a lot!
The federation feature just got released, so check it out and if you want contribute: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer
In the screenshot attached you can see a post by @demo, how cool is that?!

Hurray, fedizens!

Another #FediverseIdea come true

wanderer, a self hosted trail logging app, has added federation via ActivityPub. You can now follow, like and comment on trails shared from other instances.

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

The final form of the #GoActivityPub library that deals with the processing of Activities will most likely be a state machine with pluggable states based on "activity type" x "object type" pairs.

This ensures calling code can inject its own processing if it has custom vocabulary, or fallback to the ActivtiyPub specification defaults.

How to combine the two without having conflicts might be more difficult though.

noob question. Does @pixelfed and Mastodon play nice when moving. ie: can I move an account from Mastodon to Pixelfed and bring our followers with us ?
