I've just discovered WikiData, which allows queries on Wikipedia and an entirely new universe has opened up. More for my coding bucket list. Seems perfect for some #11ty integrations.

I've been listening in on the #FediForum today when I can and it was mentioned that the BBC is floating the idea of using more ActivityPub platforms beyond Mastodon.

@pixelfed was mentioned as a possible way to internally manage and share media that comes in from their teams. Awesome!

:pixelfed:

Conversations, Group chats, Private mentions, Direct messages, Channels - all features on fediverse platforms, but are they the same?

I examined the specifics of Firefish Group Chats and explored the differences between it and other fedi platforms with similar functionality.

Tumblr releases StreamBuilder as open source, their framework for building and displaying timelines of content. Might be useful to my #FediDev and #ActivityPubDev friends.

A #FediTip I’m just now starting to understand..and it’s so cool! Last week, I created a #PixelFed account (OpenSource Instagram replacement). I can go into any #Mastodon app and follow any Pixelfed account, and see it’s posting activity in my feed!

It works in the reverse as well. I can follow any Masto account on Pixelfed. It’s like being able to follow Facebook, Instagram and Twitter favorites all in one place. Sweet!
