Connected Places gives you an in-depth overview of the world of decentralised social networks.
I write a weekly newsletter about the ATmosphere, a weekly newsletter about the fediverse, as well as the background articles on the networks.

FR#157 – Social Software Distribution
on how @altstore, Tangled and npmx.dev are using open social networking protocols to build, distribute, and discover software, and how the most important part is not the code but the community building part

yeah, unfortunately I had to turn off federation for my wordpress blog. a persistent issue with how the cache interacts with ap makes the website show raw json when it gets popular. this has been a structural issue for a long time, and after it happened 4 times in a row on my most recent posts ive decided im done with it, because it was a major net negative on my distribution
@fediversereport Good overview as usual.
One point I would have added is that, while Mastodon announced this Share button a while back, a “pure” ActivityPub-based way to expose share URLs and similar features exists in FEP-3b86 (https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/3b86/) and has also been gaining prominence recently (c.f. the list of implementations).
For example, ActivityPub for WordPress published its v8.0.0 today, which includes new “Like” and “Share” buttons that use this proposal.
new from me: FR#156 - Share Where?
on @Mastodon 's new Share button, the Mastodon API and protocol ownership
