FediForum is coming up. It's an unconference, so the agenda is set by the attendees, but we do know that it will be unmissable, featuring a keynote from @ben and sessions from people like @quillmatiq, @j12t, @johannab and more. Here's the schedule, plus some of what's on the cards.

Hey you! Would you like to learn how #ActivityPub works?

I have a *single-file* ActivityPub server which can be used to run bots.

It supports quotes, mentions, hashtags, and most features of the modern #Fediverse.

You can play around by uploading one PHP file and one .htaccess file to your website.

那回去你的豆音吧，
那里才是你的观众席喵。

在 #fediverse 里住的大家，
很多的我们是因为热爱自由和民主的信念而来到这个平台的。

我和很多 #opensource 的程序员是为了大家能有一个自由的信息交流平台而帮忙开发 #activitypub 的，这也是像传统平台的一种抗战。所以今天你才能用大家努力开发出来的 #mastodon 在这里说话。

我们中国和海外的抗战者为了大家发声而被打，被抓，被杀，不是为了你的娱乐而付出的。

你热爱的是：
- 每天抗战者被中共迫害的娱乐新闻
- 一个全民观众的社会

你可不可以想起：

I have a Mastodon List of "Group Accounts", which makes for a good timeline of discussions around specific topics.

I have no idea how @phanpy would accomplish this, but it would be cool to have a type of "Catch Up" page where posts are organized by Group Account, sorted by date and thread.

I mean at that point you might as well just visit PieFed or NodeBB! But it would be nice. :)

Ok, I need some #ActivityPub help, please.

The reply to this will have links to the QuoteRequest the bot received, the QuoteAuthorization which it saves, and the Accept message it returns.

Can anyone figure out why the Quote permissions aren't showing on external servers?

#MastodonAPI

Here's the Quote Request Mastodon sends me.

This is the Stamp my bot generates.

This is the Accept my bot sends Mastodon.
https://colours.bots.edent.tel/quotes/68d979af-aeb1-83c3-a66c-fcb359e1ff90.json

The Mastodon.Social server shows the quote toot. External servers don't.

Please, someone explain what bone-headed mistake I've made.

I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation!

We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch)

You can also disable Federation support

I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨

Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀
