I need your feedback

As some of you may have noticed, I'm building a new fediverse / social media platform — #fedibook. The goal is a familiar look and feel, but one that's actually better for your mental health.

I accidentally included likes in the UI without really thinking it through. Not finished or properly tested — and honestly, I'm now wondering whether likes should exist at all.

What I'm considering instead: likes as a private bookmark only. More like a personal favourite — something you save for yourself to find later, but which is never shared with the author or the rest of the #fediverse.

Good idea? And what should they be called? Vote or comments - Thanks.

You are also invited to just the dev server at https://dev1.fedibook.dk follow the development process at first hand.

A major Proof of concept for #fedibook.

Import your export from Facebook.

I left Facebook in january. AND just imported more than 1000 old post from single upload in a zip file.

OK, let's try this again. 😅

I want to completely move my ATProto account off of any infrastructure controlled in any way, shape, or form by the Bluesky corporation.

I am told all of my posts and every aspect of my identity can be migrated, because ATProto rocks. Cool beans! Tell me where to migrate everything to, and I'll go there.

HMU!

@schratze so, lots of weird and impractical ones?

@ticky @jaredwhite Yes, and I feel like the thing is that Bluesky separates the idea of “instance” and “data store”. So you can eg store your data yourself in a place where it’s under your control rather than Bluesky’s, but continue to use Bluesky’s services. Mastodon couples the two, which is mostly not a problem except when the server you’re using shuts down and you can’t take that data anywhere.

@hollie
I love your art so much!!

Have fun with #Monsterdon everyone! 😊

I'm busy with art supplies on this fine March evening.

A couple photos of the last couple weeks of art journaling in The Brunch Book, the little record I keep of weekend brunches with my friend Jaime.

The Kama Sutra, but for sleeping positions

@sindum are you writing from scratch or using any existing ActivityPub libraries?

It's been a fun weekend building a new working fediverse applikation.

The tech stack so far..

Backend: Go — fast, simple, great concurrency. No magic, just code.

Frontend: SvelteKit — feels like writing HTML that actually works. SSR out of the box.

Database: PostgreSQL — boring in the best possible way.

Queue: Asynq + Redis — async ActivityPub delivery with retry logic. Workers run separately from the API.

Federation: ActivityPub — HTTP signatures, shared inbox, fan-out delivery for groups and followers.

Infra: Docker Compose — one file per instance, easy to spin up new nodes.

Everything self-hostable. No cloud dependencies. No vendor lock-in.

Still early days — but the foundation feels solid.

And yes - A lot of help fra Claude code. I decided to go all in an use big tech to fight big tech.

@django if it helps I also maintain a directory of websites with RSS feeds. Not sure if the poll was about finding folks to read in general or if it was the technical aspect of discovering the RSS/Atom file.

It's called powRSS
