It's probably less of a problem now that the fediverse is much bigger (than it was 5 years ago). But one of the things I've heard puts newbies off alternative social apps/ networks is too much meta-discussion about development and deployment of the apps/ networks themselves.

Maybe we could agree on a standard way of tagging this stuff (eg #FediDev)? Then that tag could be filtered out by default for newbies.

Currently, the Mitra app on YunoHost (which I am using now that made me install this Mitra) isn't stable, just marked as a "decent" quality app rather than a "high" quality app on YunoHost. Although it's an achievement to be a decent quality, I need to tell you and the YunoHost team that the app config files usually indicate that it's a "development" branch, and I am having a problem where I can't log in to the Mitra Web UI after some time. So, feel free to test and give feedback on the Mitra app in YunoHost so that we can improve it together. Mitra does federate well with Threads and with each other; that's one of the reasons I use Mitra.

Now with a chart!

If you want to change how the Fediverse works (for the better) —

You do NOT need an FEP.
You do NOT need to do it under the W3C.

At the heart of it — what you need to do is — get existing Fediverse software to include the change.

If you can do that to enough Fediverse software, then you will have successfully changed how the Fediverse works.

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 pu…

Hey fediverse-devs. Is it possible to authenticate an activitypub-profile from another location than home-server? Like using e.g. an mastodon profile as identity on other activitypub-apps? Can I make an app where people can authenticate with already existing activitypub identities? #ActivityPub #activitypubdev #fediverse #fediversedev (plz boost, if someone in your network might know)
