Fedify: ActivityPub server framework 3d ago

We've been struggling with a JSR publishing issue for nearly two months now—@fedify/cli and @fedify/testing packages hang indefinitely during the server-side processing stage, blocking our releases. Strangely, the problem doesn't reproduce on a local JSR server at all.

We've opened a GitHub issue to track this: https://github.com/jsr-io/jsr/issues/1238.

Fedify has been a Deno-first, JSR-first project from the start, and we really want to keep it that way. If you've experienced similar issues or have any insights, we'd appreciate your input on the issue.

I'll be presenting @fedify at @fosdem 2026! My talk Fedify: Building ActivityPub servers without the pain was accepted for the Social Web Devroom. See you in Brussels on January 31–February 1!

@sirber83@fosstodon.org that's not true! There is Fedify! @hongminhee@hollo.social

There's also the helper lib that NodeBB uses, although that's baked in core.

I'm happy to split this out into an npm module if there is interest though!

@shauna @fedify Nice try! Fedify is elegant to provide federation abilities for web projects.

Chris Hayes built a single-user ActivityPub server for sharing YouTube videos on the fediverse using Fedify and Next.js. The source code is available at https://codeberg.org/chris-hayes/yt-on-fedi.

It's alive! 🧟

After a bit of trial-error, got fediverse comments showing on a #nextjs site running #fedify. My personal fediverse-connected youtube mirror is now mostly feature complete.

It's very long so there's basically no chance of doing this all in one sitting but...whatever, let's see how far I can get this afternoon with @fedify's "build a federated microblog" tutorial: https://unstable.fedify.dev/tutorial/microblog

TBH I may get stuck with basic setup, I've written a lot of javascript but I've largely avoided having to learn JS/TS package management. 😂 (Fun fact, I learned Vue over React or Angular etc because you can build absurdly complex apps while still just importing vue via script tag)

Creating your own federated microblog | Fedify

In this tutorial, we will build a small microblog that implements the ActivityPub protocol, similar to Mastodon or Misskey, using Fedify, an ActivityPub server framework.

Just opened an issue for a major new task for #Fedify: building an #interoperability smoke test suite.

To ensure Fedify-built servers federate correctly with the wider #fediverse, we're planning to run automated E2E tests in #CI against live instances of Mastodon, Misskey, and more. This is crucial for a framework's reliability.

You can see the full plan and discussion here:

Summary As a server framework, Fedify's core value lies in its ability to correctly interoperate with other ActivityPub implementations in the Fediverse. Currently, we rely on unit tests and manual...

By the way:

As a consumer of the public ORCID API, Encyclia is not allowed to generate revenue. To be on the safe side, we don't accept donations either. However, we are happy to be making a modest contribution out of our private pockets to @fedify on @opencollective here: https://opencollective.com/fedify

If you'd like to donate some money to improve Encyclia's functionality and reliability, @fedify is the best place to do so! 🙂
