🚀 NEW on We ❤️ Open Source 🚀

Ever wondered how @Mastodon, Pixelfed, and PeerTube connect seamlessly? It’s all thanks to ActivityPub! 🌍

In this article, @linuxnerd breaks down how this open-source protocol powers the Fediverse and gives users control over their social media. Read more! 👇

I’m truly in awe with all the amazing apps that populate the Fediverse. I, myself, use a few: Mastodon, Peertube, WordPress and Bookwyrm. And I’m sometimes tempted to expand my portfolio with a Lemmy, Flipboard or Postmarks account. But I’m concerned the people who enjoy following my activities might get lost in this forest.

Currently, the only way to inform my followers of all my Fediverse activities is to boost a post from my Peertube, WordPress or Bookwyrm to my Mastodon followers (because that’s where I have the largest following). And I sometimes see some of my followers then subscribe to these accounts. But the question remains whether that is a good approach or if, as the number of differentiated and federated services grow, we would need some kind of aggregation tool.

Of course, Mastodon allows you to list up to 4 links in your profile and some use that to link to their other Fediverse accounts. It does provide a way sometimes to verify that you are the owner of those accounts, with a verified link back. But this arbitrary limit of 4 is annoying.  And the reverse is not always true. You can’t list multiple Fediverse accounts on your Bookwyrm profile.

What I think we need is FediTree, an application with the sole purpose of listing all the Fediverse accounts of one person (or one group) and allowing people to subscribe to the aggregated feed from all these accounts. Maybe we don’t even need to push to create an aggregated feed. Maybe there is a simple way to subscribe to multiple feeds at once and that would be sufficient.

As you can see, this is not a fully fledged idea. There could be an ActivityPub component to it (AP tech folkx need to look at this. I’m not sure you can create an AP aggregator. Is that allowed by the protocol?). And maybe we could already use the multiple LinkTree alternative services that exists like https://linkstack.org/instances/ for example.

I’m putting this out there to create a conversation. Maybe you are already working on this. Maybe you want to also solve this problem and the multi-account problem. Maybe you have a better idea. Curious to hear your thoughts.

The future is federated, the source is open.

It's our duty to make sure we build a better social landscape for future generations, you may not realize how impactful you really are.

Together we thrive, and @PixelFed stands proudly with every project, and will use our newfound publicity to bring awareness to the rest!

I’m asking you all to donate to #Spritely.

It’s a fantastic initiative by #ActivityPub co-author @cwebber that aims to socialize and decentralize not only the web but also apps too.

It’s wasn’t so long ago that #Mastodon made up 90% of MAUs on the #Fediverse. Hell, it so dominated Fediverse usage that, for most people, Mastodon was the Fediverse.

But now Mastodon’s percentage of MAUs stands at 58%. And it’s probably lower because the second most popular Fediverse software distribution, #Misskey, doesn’t accurately report MAUs. So what happened?

I suspect four things:

  1. Mastodon validated the concept of a Fediverse, which prompted more devs to build for #ActivityPub
  2. As Big Social alienated their userbase, some of this userbase sought Fediverse alternatives. This is what drove popularity of #Lemmy and #Pixelfed.
  3. #Bluesky became the default alternative to #Twitter instead of Mastodon
  4. As Mastodon users became aware of a greater Fediverse, many migrated to other Fediverse software

Obviously, Mastodon is alive and kicking. It’s not going anywhere. Its continuing development is critical to the success of the Fediverse.

But at the same time, the success of Mastodon led to the success of other federated projects. And it works the other way around too. The success of other federated projects is also Mastodon’s success.

So really, lower MAUs for Mastodon is actually a giant win for the big pachyderm.
