Finally got my #fedify rel=me link working properly from the view of other Mastodon/Fediverse clients
-
Oh My God :)) Now You can interact with my posts from your fediverse instance, by setting your instance in your browser
localstorage, once this is set, click the Fediverse icon and you’ll see my post through your own mastodon/pleroma instance ! -
Updated indiekit AP implementation to Fedify 2.0 !
-
Crafted this nice ActivityPub profile page for my Fedify/indiekit AP implementation, this is obviously for browsers, AP server receive an AP representation of my profile Screenshot below is Fedify 2.0 built in debugger
-
Caches GET/HEAD responses for ActivityPub endpoints (actor profiles, featured posts, notes, webfinger, nodeinfo) so hundreds of simultaneous fetches from federated instances are served from nginx instead of hitting Node.js.
Uses proxy_cache_lock to prevent thundering herd and proxy_cache_use_stale to serve during backend overload. POST /inbox and admin pages bypass the cache.
-
My indiekit blog now support comments authentication using RelMeAuth or IndieAuth, it also supports webmentions if you’re part of the #indieweb dance !

Cool stuff, a Thread reader for the fediverse : https://ap-thread-reader.fly.dev/

This post is made from my indiekit #fedify spec implementation turning my indiekit blog into an effective AP instance on the fediverse
- first I thought, why not reuse Microsub reader to consume AP content coming from the fediverse ? I tested it, customizing a bit the view to better handle AP activity (boost, star, quote, reply) but using a dedicated Microsub Channel as a Fediverse input for the AP fedify server turned out to be odd, an AP post is not an RSS item from a blog, and the firehose of posts, reply, quote, boost is too much to handle in a Microsub Channel, I resolved to build a proper reader for AP content

Testing ActivityPub syndication after Fedify feature completeness update — this note should appear on the fediverse. 🧪
-
Testing syndication from my indiekit blog to self-hosted fedify AP implementation

As seen in FediDB node explorer tool :

Hi #fediverse community I’m an old timer here and other Mastodon server since 2016 I was previously @rmdes@mstdn.social and very recently moved to my own #Fedify #indiekit AP instance meaning I’m the only indiekit user with an AP actor endpoint https://browser.pub/rmendes.net I’m still testing migration (ongoing) I may have lost some social connection but its okay. I’m using this account to verify my Fedify AP works as expected my future account is @rick@rmendes.net once everything is stable

Test Fedi from #indiekit activitypub plugin

Test indiekit #activitypub plugin

Very much in development but I have thinkered around Microsub and developing a Fedify driven indiekit plugin so that I can be my own AP actor in the fediverse from where I run my blog (indiekit) https://rmendes.net/content/notes/2026-02-19-8b1d5/
If you search #mastodon from any URL’s on my blog, it will return its AP representation, now I’m hacking microsub to be able to reuse its reader capability to read from AP timelines
-
Test from Indiekit ActivityPub plugin, if you see this, please react :)
-
I Guess I’m now the first ever Indiekit Instance on the #fediverse
Thanks to Fedify
