I personally started using my own @forgejo instance for client's projects. I hope they'll be able to implement federation this year.

How to Install #Pixelfed on #Ubuntu VPS (8 Step Quick-Start Guide)
This article provides a guide for how to install Pixelfed on Ubuntu VPS.
What is Pixelfed?
PixelFed is a decentralized, open-source photo-sharing platform similar to Instagram but built on the #Fediverse (federated social networks using the #ActivityPub protocol). It allows users to host their own instances and interact with users across ...

NodeBB v4.11.0 Release Notes
Hi everybody — late last week we released v4.11.0, which contains the following changes:
ActivityPub Specific Fixes
AP analytics and error pages
New pages have been added to the control panel to display analytics (send/receive counts) and error counts. There is also a new error page that will show error received within the last 24 hours, and their respective payloads. This will aid in debugging federation issues.

You can read more about our work on groups in this previous blog post: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/wh...
And if you're an #ActivityPub developer who's interested, please join the W3C task force discussions: github.com/swicg/groups/issues
Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They'll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside you’ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.
已經五月了嗎？在一個月多之後就是我加入聯邦宇宙的日子。
After having a post go "fedi-viral" (100+ boosts), I can better empathize with what @veronica and @TechConnectify have been complaining about WRT behavior on #fedi.
I've mostly gotten positive comments from people I already knew. One or two replies were a bit odd. One was seriously bonkers: bad enough to make me report, mute the entire instance, and block.
That's rare for me. I'm very much a live-and-let-live kind of guy (that's a privilege, I know), and I happily interact with people whom I disagree with sharply on some issues, and I have mutuals that honestly hate each others' guts. 😄
The #fediverse still has a moderation problem, and the fact that 99% of its users may not encounter it doesn't mean it's not there.
So thankful for the vigilant, too-often-thankless (or worse) work of instance admins and some of the more clever fedi clients in keeping the amount of craziness down.
I like the fact that @pachli has an option to warn or hide posts from new accounts. I think that should be a feature of all #fedi server software. I'd also like to see less of a trust-by-default model for federation. It would be neat to have some kind of a credit score for instances, and the ability to share those scores, such that a highly-rated instance rating another instance as being very poor would have a heavier weight than a new or poorly-rated instance giving that same instance a high rating.
All that is way beyond what #ActivityPub was intended to do initially, I'm sure. I'm hoping the fedi can grow towards being a safer place for all, and I'm certain that's what nearly everybody wants. It's just a question of how to do so. And that's not a five dollar question. ;)
Edit: updated Veronica's mention to her new account.
The new #FediForum videos are up :)
The Fediverse is an interconnected servers from around the world with different apps connected by Activity Pub.
This is the most amazing tech right now because of this we all can use whatever app we want that is Activity Pub enabled and talk to people from around the world.
Also for new comers or non-tech users. I hope the Fediverse finds you before you sign up to big tech (Instagram, X, Facebook etc).
We have the most amazing community here. I have been here since 2018 off and on and off and on. I recently started my journey into self-hosting (m.thefedi.town) example.
I started this server on @mitra and I actually couldn't be any happier here on the fediverse.
