<p>I think that there is a real case for developing a <a href="/tags/webcomics/" rel="tag">#webcomics</a> platform for the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a>.

<p>Last Week in Fediverse – ep 83</p><p>Bluesky and Brazil continues to be a great match, and lots of other smaller news items.</p><p>Programming note: I’m switching the release day for this weekly newsletter to a Wednesday. Over the last year and a half I’ve spend my free Sundays writing this, and this is not sustainable in the long term. So look for the next edition to arrive on Wednesday the 18th.</p><p>Bluesky and Brazil</p><p>Bluesky remains highly popular among Brazilians as an alternative to X, that got <a href="https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-82/" rel="nofollow">banned in the country</a> last week. Bluesky has added <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3l3jewuiszf2l" rel="nofollow">3 million accounts</a> since the ban went into effect just over a week ago. When I reported on it last week Bluesky had added 1 million accounts. Of these new accounts, around <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3l3dtuznw7p22" rel="nofollow">85%</a> are from Brazil. The popularity of Bluesky in Brazil also shows up in both politics and the media: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:a5o5pa6imrd52s627zq63zgz" rel="nofollow">President Lula</a>, his party <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:3zb6cejpu3xtpvgk4q5vsvzh" rel="nofollow">PT Brazil</a>, the <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ftzfqqac3illc5mqhdtkw2zr" rel="nofollow">Supreme Court</a>, and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ndqm4sqxiroxdx5aik2dk2ig" rel="nofollow">House of Representatives</a> all have their accounts validated by using their domain as their handle. The media is also paying attention, one of the <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mary.my.id/post/3l3epd32dy52e" rel="nofollow">most popular</a> news programs in Brazil, Jornal Nacional, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com/post/3l3eog5g5s227" rel="nofollow">showed</a> their Bluesky handle during the show. Some of the biggest newspapers such as <a href="https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/blogs/hashtag/2024/09/o-que-voce-precisa-saber-apos-uma-semana-de-bluesky.shtml" rel="nofollow">Folha de S.Paulo</a> and <a href="https://www.correiobraziliense.com.br/brasil/2024/09/6932486-bluesky-e-a-promessa-de-respeitar-totalmente-as-leis-e-autoridades-do-brasil.html" rel="nofollow">Correio Braziliense</a> covered Bluesky as well. </p><p>What stands out to me about both articles is that they do not mention Threads. Threads have not made any data available regarding the impact of the Brazilian ban on X on the platform. While Threads is likely to still get a large number of signups simply due to its massive size, it is not part of the conversation in the way that Bluesky is for Brazil. </p><p>The inflow of new people also shows up for the Trust and Safety team. In an <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/aaron.bsky.team/post/3l3geqs6cyv2w" rel="nofollow">update</a> Bluesky’s head of Trust and Safety, Aaron Rodericks, shares that the team normally receives about 20k reports per week, a number that skyrocketed to 270k reports, predominantly in Portugese. </p><p>The News</p><p>Firefish has died <a href="https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/113085022503264184" rel="nofollow">another death</a>. This February, the original creator of Firefish Kainoa transferred ownership to the maintainer naskya, without naskya being informed beforehand. Naskya has been maintaining Firefish alone for the last 7 months, while noting that this them taking over the project as unwillingly. Naskya says that this is unsustainable, putting the project in maintanance mode. IceShrimp provides <a href="https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp/src/branch/dev/docs/migrate.md" rel="nofollow">migration instructions</a> for server admins who want to transfer from Firefish to IceShrimp. I’ve got fond memories of the time period during which Firefish worked well, which is sadly a while ago now. It enabled me to build a community in a way that I’ve found much more difficult to do on Mastodon, and the community that I’ve build during the Firefish period is still one that feels like my closest community on Mastodon.</p><p><a href="https://truefans.fm/" rel="nofollow">Truefans</a> is a podcasting app that is <a href="https://podcastindex.social/@samsethi/113092353412244464" rel="nofollow">building</a> ActivityPub integration.

The goal for the website task force is to make sure that the <a href="https://activitypub.rocks/" rel="nofollow">activitypub.rocks</a> website is a better entry point, as it is badly out of date, with the last post from January 2021. The Trust and Safety team from Threads has already <a href="https://www.threads.net/@andrs.svds/post/C_d-JxrMfI5" rel="nofollow">expressed interest</a> in participating in the task force.</p><p>Trending topics are a feature that is highly sought after by the Brazilian community, and the community has build two versions themselves: as a <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/nemtudo.me/post/3l3jf3yqejc2t" rel="nofollow">browser extension</a> and as a <a href="https://trending.notx.blue/" rel="nofollow">separate site</a>. <br>EDIT: Another unaffiliated developer has brought to my attention that the browser extension might not be completely safe.

<p>How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments</p><p><a href="https://join.piefed.social/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flair_examples.webp" rel="nofollow">On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit</a> – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.</p><p>However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in <a href="https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md" rel="nofollow">FEP 1b12</a> which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:</p><p>For flair on posts, <a href="https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5636" rel="nofollow">the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this</a>, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:</p><p>{<br> &quot;type&quot;: &quot;Group&quot;,<br> &quot;id&quot;: &quot;<a href="https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/c/piefed_meta</a>&quot;,<br> &quot;name&quot;: &quot;piefed_meta&quot;,<br> /* ... */<br> &quot;lemmy:tagsForPosts&quot;: [<br> {<br> &quot;type&quot;: &quot;lemmy:CommunityTag&quot;,<br> &quot;id&quot;: &quot;<a href="https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/ta</span><span class="invisible">g/whatever</span></a>&quot;,<br> &quot;display_name&quot;: &quot;Some Post Tag Name&quot;,<br> &quot;text_color&quot;: &quot;<a href="/tags/000000/" rel="tag">#000000</a>&quot;,<br> &quot;background_color&quot;: &quot;<a href="/tags/dedede/" rel="tag">#dedede</a>&quot;<br> }<br> ]<br> }</p><p>lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects. </p><p>So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:</p><p>{<br> &quot;id&quot;: &quot;<a href="https://piefed.social/post/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/post/1</a>&quot;,<br> &quot;actor&quot;: &quot;<a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/u/rimu</a>&quot;,<br> &quot;type&quot;: &quot;Page&quot;,<br> /* ... */<br> &quot;tag&quot;: [<br> {<br> &quot;type&quot;: &quot;lemmy:CommunityTag&quot;,<br> &quot;id&quot;: &quot;<a href="https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/ta</span><span class="invisible">g/whatever</span></a>&quot;,<br> &quot;display_name&quot;: &quot;Some Post Tag Name&quot;<br> },<br> {<br> &quot;href&quot;: &quot;<a href="https://piefed.social/post/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/post/1</a>&quot;,<br> &quot;name&quot;: &quot;asdf&quot;,<br> &quot;type&quot;: &quot;Hashtag&quot;<br> }<br> ]<br> }</p><p>In this example the post also has a <a href="/tags/asdf/" rel="tag">#asdf</a> hashtag on it.</p><p>User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.</p><p>{<br> &quot;id&quot;: &quot;<a href="https://piefed.social/comment/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/comment/1</a>&quot;,<br> &quot;actor&quot;: &quot;<a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/u/rimu</a>&quot;,<br> &quot;type&quot;: &quot;Note&quot;,<br> /* ... */<br> &quot;flair&quot;: &quot;PieFed dev&quot;<br> }</p><p>This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.</p><p>It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too. </p><p>Let’s see how it goes.</p><p><a href="/tags/asdf/" rel="tag">#asdf</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/lemmy/" rel="tag">#Lemmy</a> <a href="/tags/piefed/" rel="tag">#piefed</a> <a href="/tags/threadverse/" rel="tag">#threadverse</a></p>

Simple, the current contract/subscription ended.

They&#x27;ll borrow money if it comes to that. You have grandfathered accounts that are paying you but the owners are rarely using it.

<p>This is Postmodern, my concept for a <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> platform. This mockup is a builder interface for making your own UI, timelines, and pages visually. It’s a weird and ambitious concept, but this is what I’ve been dreaming about for years. </p><p>Blog post dropping this week.</p>

<p>I just set up an easy to remember link for my <a href="/tags/neodb/" rel="tag">#NeoDB</a> shelf/catalogue/library account:</p><p><a href="https://loomenji.youronly.one" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>loomenji.youronly.one</a> ( <span class="h-card"><a href="https://eggplant.place/@youronlyone/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone</span></a></span> )</p><p>😁</p><p>It&#x27;s in addition to the following:</p><p>* fediverse.youronly.one - <span class="h-card"><a href="https://c.im/@youronlyone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone</span></a></span> <br>* atmosphere.youronly.one - <span class="h-card"><a href="[&#x27;https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/youronly.one&#x27;, &#x27;https://youronly.one/&#x27;, &#x27;https://links.youronly.one/&#x27;, &#x27;http://is.youronly.one/&#x27;, &#x27;http://at.youronly.one/&#x27;]" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronly.one</span></a></span><br>* gallery.youronly.one - <span class="h-card"><a href="https://pixelfed.social/youronlyone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>[email protected]</span></a></span><br>* wiki.youronly.one - youronlyone.tiddlyhost.com<br>* threads.youronly.one - <span class="h-card"><a href="https://threads.net/@youronly.one.ofcl/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronly.one.ofcl</span></a></span> </p><p>If you have a personal domain name, use it for redirection (301 or 302).

<p>I said I would publish this week, I guess it happened earlier than expected. This is a high-level overview of Postmodern, the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> platform I hope to someday build.
