Notes / About

Bridgy Fed is a bridge that converts between webmentions, ActivityPub and OStatus. It connects the IndieWeb with federated social networks like Mastodon, Hubzilla, and others in the fediverse that support two protocols.

Bridgy Fed is a loose extension of Bridgy, which is a similar bridge between the IndieWeb and social media sites. As of November 2017, it has >4k users and has successfully sent >900k webmentions for responses inside those sites.

Details

Users use Bridgy Fed by creating an IndieWeb post (in HTML with microformats2) on their own web site that replies, likes, or reposts (aka announces) a post on a federated social network. They then send a webmention to Bridgy Fed to trigger it to fetch their IndieWeb post, convert it to ActivityStreams 2 (via granary), and deliver it to the target post's author and other recipients via ActivityPub.

Bridgy Fed handles the other direction too. If a federated social network user replies to, likes, or reposts an IndieWeb post, Bridgy Fed will accept it in their inbox, translate it into a webmention, send it to the IndieWeb post, and convert the AS2 object to HTML with microformats2 to be rendered for the webmention receiver.

This is federation, not syndication. IndieWeb posts translated to AS2 objects have both post object and actor based at the IndieWeb site's domain, with appropriate ids and URLs. If the IndieWeb site is example.com, the ActivityPub actor id would be @example.com@example.com. (This is subject to change; more background here.)

Bridgy Fed can do all this via OStatus as well.

About the Server-to-Server implementation

The Bridgy Fed Server:

  • Accepts activity submissions via webmention, and updates the server's Objects per rules described below
  • Delivers these submissions to the inboxes of other Servers
  • Receives Activity from other servers in an inbox, and updates the server's Objects per rules described below
  • Delivers Objects to Clients via webmention

Notes / About

Distbin is a distributed pastebin. Anyone can anonymously create little text posts, and anyone else can reply to them.

You can even create posts that are inReplyTo parent posts that are hosted elsewhere on the web (like another distbin.com installation), and distbin will tell the parent about it via ActivityPub.

distbin is made up of at least two components:

  • core - Speaks only JSON/ActivityPub
  • distbin-html

    • Renders a homepage with a form that helps an end-user build Create Note activites
    • Renders created activities to HTML
    • Renders the public collection to HTML

Notes / About

dokieli is a clientside editor for decentralised article publishing, annotations and social interactions. It can work as a single-page application or as a Web browser extension.

  • dokieli can create and consume content in different RDF serializations (RDFa in HTML and SVG, Turtle, JSON-LD) for fine-grained semantic structure;
  • can work with Linked Data Platform based servers for personal data storage;
  • implements the sender and consumer roles of Linked Data Notifications;
  • Web Annotation for structured annotations;
  • WebID for identity discovery and profile use;
  • ActivityPub and ActivityStreams 2 to send and consume activities/objects

Notes / About

go-fed is a library that implements ActivityStreams and ActivityPub in Go.

Whether you wish to create a new application, add ActivityPub to an existing one, or just use ActivityStreams data types, go-fed is here to help. The website hosts a tutorial geared for developers who may not be familiar with the ActivityStreams and ActivityPub protocols. It also hosts GoDoc-like documentation for each versioned release.

Applications using go-fed can turn many of the "No" entries in this implementation report to "Yes". Use the security protocols, spam filtering, and administrative tooling required for your application's needs.

"Why wait 'til tomorrow? go-fed.today!"

Official implementation reports were first generated using go-fed v0.2.0.

Notes / About

Mastodon is a free, open-source, decentralized microblogging application with support for the ActivityPub and OStatus protocols. Built for global networks of close-knit communities, Mastodon puts social networking back in the hands of users.

Interoperability with other implementations

Applications interoperating with Mastodon over ActivityPub must support Webfinger resolution, with a unique preferredUsername per host, so that they can be interacted with by other users. Posts to the inbox must be signed using the HTTP Signatures draft spec with a public key that can be fetched from the actor, using the publicKey object format from the WebPayments JSON-LD Security Vocabulary.

Notes / About

places.pub is a place server for the ActivityPub network. It represents places in the world as AS2 'Place' objects. Plan is to add inboxes to the Place objects so they can be addressed, and when they receive activities related to that Place, they will re-share them. Also will allow Follow, stop follow. Only fetching Place objects is implemented now.
