This is a really great read by the @npub1lzdq...urpr team. As someone who has done all kinds of experiments with long-form articles and publishing directly on the #Fediverse, there are a number of headaches and hurdles we still need to figure out. My overall philosophy is this: rather than adapting existing content management systems to use ActivityPub federation, it's preferable to build a CMS for the Fediverse, with explicit considerations for how the instance and the network should interact with each other. Everything, from the dashboard to side-effects of interaction, should be designed with federation considerations in mind.

Long-form content in Bonfire: Part 1

A space for Bonfire maintainers and contributors to communicate

I've been writing a long, long response to the excellent article by @npub1vag7...mjkp about the Seven Deadly Sins of Fediverse UX design. It's taken me almost a month, and I'm just trying to get through the last few sections. Hopefully, I'll be able to post it tonight. 😅

I'm kind of tempted to try setting up a @npub1h3fv...6sq8 instance for We Distribute. Could be interesting to have a bunch of little badges for exploring the network or learning about it? 🤔

In case you're just tuning in, we're covering Day 2 of #FediForum. @npub1urx3...v0z4 giving the opening keynote about Spritely, and it's great. https://wedistribute.org/2025/06/fediforum-june-2025/

Hey, go check out our latest episode of Decentered! @damon and I are really excited to be making this again. View quoted note →

Hey, listen. #Codeberg is being spammed with LLM bots right now. They started like an hour ago. Each bot is opening up one issue in a random tracker every minute. I have no idea what the spread is, but each individual bot has like seven pages full of issues now. PieFed and FEP are both starting to see issues piling up because of this. View quoted note →

Hey @Codeberg.org team? It looks like you have a problem with LLM bots spamming repos with issues. This is really bad:

Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

It's spreading to a bunch of different projects.

Cross-platform Threadiverse stuff is weird. It mostly works really well, but there's tiny quirks between systems sometimes. One thing I really want to explore is group synchronization. That is, federating topics between different groups on different instances. In NodeBB, it's possible to make a forum category follow groups on Lemmy, PieFed, and Discourse. However, it sometimes only partially works, and debugging isn't always straightforward. It's a worthy experiment, though.

Hey #FediMusic folks! 👋 Two things worth mentioning here: 1. Our forum now federates with The Social Music Network's forum, allowing members on each to seamlessly communicate. We hope that this will give us better insight to what's going on with the art and music community, and help us get better at reporting what's going on in the space. 2. I'm compiling a list of resources available to the FediMusic community. Does anyone have things that ought to be added to the list? See here:

Although the amazing RadioFreeFedi is no longer with us, it laid the foundation for a number of interesting projects within the Fedi Music space th...

My favorite thing about this space is that there's so many brilliant people building incredible things for the Web. Truly radical, revolutionary stuff.
