Latest release of #FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, lets you blur / hide images marked as sensitive / #NSFW, which solves the "unwanted dick pics in your feed" issue that can come up when users of one of the more "risque" fediverse servers manage to make one of their favourite hashtags trend.

wanderer - #Strava meets the #Fediverse. A self-hosted trail database built on #ActivityPub. "Save your adventures!"
"And of course we work with standards [for Libervia], with XMPP notably. It's a communications standard which is ... mainly know for instant messaging but it can actually do a lot more. So we use it also for blogging ... for these kinds of things.
And I've been working on a gateway [other protocols], notably ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, PeerTube, Mobilizon, etc."

Has anybody built a UI for browsing longform writing over #ActivityPub?
Really enjoyed appearing on @firesidefedi with @ozoned yesterday! Always lovely to have a friendly, rambling, tangent-filled conversation about @manyfold, the Fediverse, and technology in general. Thanks for having me!
Disclaimer: ho utilizzato Mastodon fino a ieri quindi non intendo certo demonizzarlo (ci scherzo un po' sopra 
), prendete questo post come una riflessione sulla sua mastodontica ingombranza nel mondo #ActivityPub

New NLNet Projects were recently announced, with a solid collection of ActivityPub related ones:

* Icosa 3-D Model Sharing with ActivityPub
Did I miss any?

In case anyone was wondering, yes my project Wordforge is effectively abandoned. I graduated and got a job last year and haven't had the time to work on it. It's a shame really since I really wanted to see something like this on the fediverse, but such is life.
If anyone wants to take over, feel free.

Just for the record dropping the open issue on the Fediverse Experience curated list where I keep track of a list of #ActivityPub C2S supporting projects and attempts. Any updates most welcome if there's stuff missing.

This is a small personal instance of Bonfire in the Fediverse.
