Looks like Libre.fm, an open-software version of Last.fm by the GNU Project, is being reworked to support ActivityPub!

Screenshot from the linked article reading:

"Next steps

• I [Matt Lee] want you to have a personal website and have your listening habits on your own website, not my website. But I know some people won't want that, which is fine but Libre.fm is effectively a silo (other than Last.fm which it talks to, although federation with other instances has been possible for a long time) and has over 372,000 registered users and 302 million scrobbles.

• Some new features will only work if you're publishing your Libre.fm stats on your own website.

• A new version of Libre.fm's front end will appear later, powered by Ruby on Rails.

• [highlighted] We're also going to put our full attention to supporting ActivityPub where possible. [end highlight]"

Continued screenshot from the linked website, reading:

"• Libre.fm will evolve from a single project into a larger project with a few distinct aims:

1. Being a good IndieWeb citizen.
2. Being a genuinely useful tool for artists (payments!)
3. Being a good member on the social web, which means supporting ActivityPub where it is useful. Maybe you could share what you're listening to on the social web?

(For those of you who've used Libre.fm since 2009, you'll remember the GNU social project we started back at the start of Libre.fm (or GNU FM). Personally I hope you also remember our roots in the history of the social web. GNU social continues to this day, but I'm no longer involved and no longer using the software. Happily, GNU social now supports ActivityPub so things are coming full circle.)

What you can do today

1. Get a personal website.
2. Get an account on the social web and follow me!
3. Read https://bored.city and send me feedback.
4. Donate to keep the lights on. https://libre.fm/donate.php -- our expenses are low, but a few dollars here and there helps buy new domain names, renew things, pay for the outgoing email service, etc."

@nicmagnier We have the Bayswater Bridge here in Perth, Australia that's famous for trucks getting stuck under it. It's recently been renovated so it shouldn't happen again, but here's a glass truck being stuck under one! :MOULE_Shock:

There's even a website that tracks them: https://www.howmanydayssincebayswaterbridgehasbeenhit.com

@erik Some of the best websites I've found were in the "Recommended Links" sections of other websites. It's very helpful especially when search engines haven't listed those websites and you really need to know what to look for.
