<p>We'd like to introduce the <a href="/tags/fedify/" rel="tag">#Fedify</a> project family—a set of related tools that make building <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> applications more accessible:</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hollo.social/@fedify" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Fedify</span></a></span> <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/hollo.social/fedify.png" class="emoji" alt=":fedify:" title=":fedify:"></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hollo.social/@fedify" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Fedify</span></a></span> (<span class="h-card"><a href="https://hollo.social/@fedify" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fedify</span></a></span>) is a <a href="/tags/typescript/" rel="tag">#TypeScript</a> library for building federated server applications powered by ActivityPub and other <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> standards.

While designed for individual users, it's fully federated through ActivityPub, allowing interaction with users across the fediverse. <a href="/tags/hollo/" rel="tag">#Hollo</a> implements Mastodon-compatible APIs, making it <a href="https://docs.hollo.social/clients/" rel="nofollow">compatible with most Mastodon clients</a> without needing its own web interface.</p><p>Hollo also serves as our testing ground for bleeding-edge Fedify features before they're officially released.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hollo.social/@botkit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BotKit</span></a></span> <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/hollo.social/botkit.png" class="emoji" alt=":botkit:" title=":botkit:"></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hollo.social/@botkit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BotKit</span></a></span> (<span class="h-card"><a href="https://hollo.social/@botkit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>botkit</span></a></span>) is our newest family member—a framework specifically designed for creating ActivityPub bots. Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, <a href="/tags/botkit/" rel="tag">#BotKit</a> creates standalone ActivityPub servers that aren't constrained by platform-specific limitations (like character counts).</p><p>BotKit's API is intentionally simple—you can create a complete bot in a single TypeScript file!</p><p>All three projects are open source and hosted under the <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev" rel="nofollow">@fedify-dev</a> GitHub organization. While they serve different purposes, they share common goals: making ActivityPub development more accessible and expanding the fediverse ecosystem.</p><p>If you're interested in trying any of these projects or contributing to their development, check out:</p><p>Fedify: <a href="https://fedify.dev/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fedify.dev/</a><br>Hollo: <a href="https://docs.hollo.social/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>docs.hollo.social/</a><br>BotKit: <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>botkit.fedify.dev/</a></p><p><a href="/tags/fedidev/" rel="tag">#fedidev</a></p>
