RFC 9421 HTTP Message Signatures support in #curl maybe?
RE: https://mastodon.social/@bagder/116359048796181736
Could be potentially nice for fediverse server testing, as more implementations make the jump to final RFC 9421 HTTP signatures.
On the flip side, ever more complex curl invocations (here: Accept header plus signature fields plus key file, presumably) suggest use of more specialized CLI tools, such as provided by @fedify, or at least scripts/aliases.
Speaking of RFC 9421, which notable fediverse implementations can't handle it yet? Anyone keeping track?
C’è una sorpresa per voi nell’uovo di Pasqua! 🐣
Per tutti coloro che vogliono capire come funziona il fediverso grazie al protocollo ActivityPub ed iniziare a muovere i primi passi nei social network decentralizzati:
I've been working on a highly customizable multiplatform fediverse client, similar to bridging technologies that exist currently but a bit more seamless and robust, and focused on the indieweb vibe and personal customization overall. Excited to get it out there for testing, but I am really enjoying what I have so far. #interop #atproto #activitypub #retro #indieweb
As always, we are looking for people to help test, this time single-user instance self-hosting. If you are interested in a activitypub-enabled self-host linktree alternative check https://github.com/tryvocalcat/fediprofile now with SingleUser mode enabled!

Fediverse & Social Web track at COSCUP 2026: call for participation
Read it in other languages: 日本語 (Japanese), 한국어 (Korean).
FediDev KR and FediLUG (Japan) are pleased to announce the Fediverse & Social Web track at COSCUP 2026, and invite participants to submit proposals for talks.
COSCUP (Conference for Open Source Coders, Users, and Promoters) is a free, community-run open source conference held annually in Taipei, Taiwan. Think FOSDEM, but in East Asia. This year it takes place August 8–9 at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, and is co-hosted with UbuCon Asia 2026.
The Fediverse & Social Web track runs for a full day, six hours in total. It is the first dedicated fediverse track at a major open source conference in East Asia, and we hope it becomes a regular gathering point for the fediverse community in the region.
Format
The default talk length is 30 minutes. If you need more or less time, note your preferred length when submitting.
Topics
We welcome proposals on anything related to the fediverse and the open social web, including:
- Implementations of ActivityPub or related protocols
- Clients for ActivityPub-enabled software
- Libraries, toolkits, and frameworks for fediverse development
- Supporting services: search, onboarding, moderation tooling
- Instance administration and operations
- Governance, policy, and the social dimensions of running federated communities
- The broader open social web and interoperability
Important dates
- Submission opens: March 28, 2026
- Submission deadline: May 9, 2026 (AoE)
- Acceptance notifications: June 9, 2026
- Conference: August 8–9, 2026
Submissions
Submit proposals at https://pretalx.coscup.org/coscup-2026/cfp. Select Fediverse & Social Web from the track dropdown.
You can write your proposal in English or Chinese. COSCUP publishes session descriptions bilingually in English and Chinese, but that translation happens after acceptance; you don't need to provide both languages when submitting.
All sessions will be recorded and released under CC BY-SA 4.0. If your talk contains material that cannot be recorded or released under those terms, please note this in your submission.
Code of conduct
All speakers and attendees are expected to follow the COSCUP Code of Conduct.
Contact
Questions about the track, topics, or the fediverse in general are welcome at [email protected] or @fedidevkr on the fediverse.
The #CFP for the Fediverse & Social Web track at COSCUP 2026 (Taipei, Aug 8–9) is now open! If you're working on #ActivityPub, the #fediverse, or anything in the open social web space, we'd love to hear from you. The deadline is May 9. #COSCUP is free to attend.

Again looking at running my own #Mastodon instance and seeing a ton of abandoned projects for lightweight, single-user #ActivityPub servers. Are there options that are actively maintained and ready for use? I've run #Pleroma before but don't actually need a web frontend. Happy to @phanpy and that's it. Suggestions, anyone?
