🎉 Huge shoutout to two amazing contributors from Korea's #OSSCA program who've made excellent contributions to #Fedify!

👏 @gaebalgom tackled a tricky terminal compatibility issue in PR #282, fixing the fedify node command's favicon display on terminal emulators without truecolor support (#168). His solution elegantly detects terminal capabilities and falls back to 256-color mode when needed—ensuring a great experience across different environments.

🌟 @joonnot enhanced Fedify's #WebFinger functionality in PR #281 by adding a configurable maxRedirection option to the lookupWebFinger() function (#248). He transformed a hardcoded limitation into a flexible, user-customizable parameter while maintaining perfect backward compatibility.

Both delivered thoughtful, well-implemented solutions that showcase the quality of contributions coming from the OSSCA program. Welcome to the Fedify community!

Side-by-side comparison of `fedify node` command output showing terminal favicon display. Left side shows broken display on terminal without truecolor support with corrupted color blocks. Right side shows proper display after the fix with clean, correctly rendered favicon and NodeInfo output including mastodon.social server information and statistics.

#AskFedi do you know anyone with a federated Wordpress site who uses it extensively? Not just for publishing straight to the Fediverse, but also in a social way (aka as a fedi profile)?

I've run into a few roadblocks with mine and I could really use some inspiration 😊

I am looking for experts/#developers who are familiar with #ActivityPub and who might be willing to chat with me.

I have started talking with parts of my network (mainly in D and NL), about how we could make the #Fediverse more interesting for content providers and main stream media. This also means attracting ordinary users to join and to find fair and simple ways to support content providers (without #paywalls).
I have some ideas, but now need more expertise and a deeper look under the hood.

To follow up on my #ActivityPub C2S post from a few days ago, I wrote a blog article on my thoughts about improving the C2S protocol and a description of some related experimentation I've been doing.

Haven't turned on Federation yet, but my Bonfire instance is looking good. My second install of Bonfire. I can tell you two things: Installation was much easier this time, and performance is much better.

One note, Bonfire recommends a hungry 8 GB of memory to run, but with that amount, it runs nicely so far. I'll keep you updated, hoping to turn federation on by next weekend. (This will be an invite only instance for brave individuals that want to assist with testing)
