When articles, videos and podcasts are native #ActivityPub, maybe people will just boost them directly instead of everybody writing their own posts linking to them. I really wish quote boosts had this functionality in mind. Same with podcatchers, video players and reader apps in the future. Show me what's most boosted in my social graph of the content type you're designed for.
Making all media management better and attention more democratically allocated is the "killer app" of the #SocialWeb.
While others build walled gardens, we're preparing to tear down walls.
As TikTok creates separate US and global apps, we're putting the finishing touches on ActivityPub integration in Loops.
Soon you'll share your loops across the entire fediverse - no borders, no corporate silos.
The future is federated. 🌐

I was planning on adding support for custom themes in release v2.4.13 of Ktistec. That turned out to be difficult, so I implemented post visibility instead—which then also turned out to be difficult. C'est la vie.
The editor now includes radio buttons for controlling post distribution and visibility. In particular, you can now send messages directly to mentioned users without sending them to all of your followers.
You can also mark posts as sensitive using the content warning checkbox in the editor. Sensitive posts are hidden behind a summary that readers can click to reveal the content.
This release of Ktistec includes RSS feeds and RSS feed discovery. RSS feeds are currently available for the site home page and account pages.
Here's the full changelog:

Apparently, Bookwyrm stores quotations with:
type="Quotation"
And if one Bookwyrm server talks to another Bookwyrm server, then — the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams representation of the quotation will have:
type="Quotation"
...
BUT — if a non-Bookwyrm server talks to a Bookwyrm server, then — the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams representation of the quotation will have:
type="Note"
#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #Fediverse #ObjectTypeNote #ObjectTypeQuotation #retejo
There are examples of the #ActivityPub extensions #Bookwyrm makes, which are on the (commonly taken) path of protocol decay and whack-a-mole programming by their #LinkedData non-conformance, unfortunately.
Yet that means there's opportunity for #FEP's if there are more #interoperability parties. 😃
Here's an example of Quotation, which has no LD context:
https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/bookwyrm/tests/data/ap_quotation.json
And here of Edition which is incorrectly placed in #ActivityStreams context:
https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/bookwyrm/tests/data/bw_edition.json
I realize the frustration regarding the Loops delays.
But I'm a man of my word, and have finally shipped the full source code for the backend, while I continue to work on the ActivityPub federation and other features.
Building a TikTok clone that scales, federates and is easy to install/manage is a huge challenge.
And yet, here we are 🚀
Quotations & the Fediverse / ActivityPub
1/
One thing I used to do a lot on social-media is — post quotations.
Sometimes I was reading a book. And, I would quote things from the book and post it on social-media.
Or I was reading a scholarly paper, or reading a blog post, or watching a video, or listening to a podcast, etc.
...
I was thinking — how could you represent a quotation in ActivityPub‽
#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #Fediverse #ObjectTypeNote #ObjectTypeQuotation #retejo
![“[And yet another book that made an argument that was in favor of human universals is] Brent Berlin and Paul Kay’s [book] "Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution" (1969).”
“by the early 1970s two independent lines of psychological research, culminating in studies conducted among preliterate peoples of New Guinea, had shown that there are universal facial expressions of emotions.”
“Berlin and Kay show that although color classification does vary, it also shows remarkable uniformities: particularly in the sequence in which basic color terms are added to the lexicon.”
“Anthropologists and linguists had long known that the way colors are classified varies from language to language. Careful studies conducted by anthropologists after World War II, such as Harold Conklin’s (1955) study of Hanunóo color words, made the point very clearly.”
“The different sets of words for color in various languages …”](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/213/467/578/403/241/original/7e01ca3ce905134a.png)
@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) 
Very relevant comment.
That would undoubtedly be really useful to have a reliable and universal trick inside the #activitypub, automatically installed in any software, allowing the user to quote any part of a post (with an automatic link to this original post) and automatically laid out as a quotation.

I don't know the details on how their ATProto implementation works though.

If you are wondering what RDFa is —
You might be more familiar with OpenGraph.
OpenGraph is usually the thing that causes "preview cards" to be showed for links shared on social-media.
OpenGraph is written in RDFa. Which, in practice, is some special HTML elements added to the page.
For example:
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/img/preview.png" />

Obviously, beginners are NOT going to do this, but — some power-users may want this level of control.
There are different way this could be done, but — one way might be that power-users could use RDFa to explicitly specify what data from the HTML gets into the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data.
Again, beginners and typical users would NOT do this.

This post guides you through building a simple ActivityPub bot in Python using the `apkit` library. The bot listens for mentions and schedules reminders for users. It covers setting up the project, generating cryptographic keys for secure communication, defining the bot's identity as an ActivityPub Actor, and initializing the `apkit` server. The tutorial walks through the core logic for parsing reminder commands, sending notifications, and defining necessary web endpoints like `/actor` and `/inbox`. It also details how to handle incoming activities, such as `Follow` and `Create` events, and how to run the application using `uvicorn`. While the example uses in-memory storage for simplicity, the post suggests improvements like persistent storage and robust task queuing for production environments. This tutorial provides a solid foundation for building more complex ActivityPub applications.

"forgejo" comes from the Esperanto word "forĝejo".
"retejo" is (also) an Esperanto word.
The meaning of the Esperanto word "retejo" can be understood as follows:
ret-: The root for "net" or "web".
-ej-: A suffix meaning "place" or "site".
-o: The noun ending.

Retejo pulls its data from a Forgejo / Gitea site — such as Codeberg.
That means I can write things using whatever text-editor I want by editing a file.
And then push that file to Codeberg — or any other Forgejo / Gitea site — using git
And then, it automatically shows up on my Retejo site

I kept that type of user in mind when designing Retejo —
That some people want to write in Markdown rather than HTML.
So, Retejo has native support for Markdown.
And, in particular, CommonMark with the GitHub Flavored Markdown (GTM) extensions that most people expect nowadays.

I have been working on a new type of web-server for serving static web-sites.
I started working on it recently — on August 23rd. But, have had the idea for it for a number of years.

Well, of course, it supports HTML.
But, it also supports Markdown, and ActivityPub natively!

To be clear: the active user base of Hubzilla probably numbers less than 1000, and those of (streams) and Forte far far smaller than that; so in your plots, their exclusion/inclusion is not going to be visually discernible to anyone. At present, it will not affect any inferences one may draw from your plots.
But for the sake of completeness, you may want to consider these questions.

Also: if FEP-ef61
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md
becomes widely adopted in future, then other ActivityPub-based software may incorporate nomadic identity, and you may have to worry about all of the above at that point.

Forte certainly qualifies as part of the Fediverse, by any criteria. So you will definitely have to worry about counting each channel of any account on a Forte instance, and about not counting clones of that channel.

So if you are including Hubzilla and (streams) users, you will have to worry about counting each channel for an account, but not counting any of the clones of a given channel. Are you doing that?
