I also recently found the early but promising Plume project for operating a federated blog ( https://joinplu.me/ ).
Icing on the cake? Quite a few of the federated projects are written in Rust.
One suggestion: if you want the federated crowd to jump on board, then choose another font provider than Google, which uses their font links for tracking.
Serious question: from a user perspective, isn't spam going to be insanely bad in the Fediverse? How do you stop spam without a central authority?

Oh. Activity pub is complex and difficult to implement. The test suite is down. Leaving it to last makes me worry that it won’t happen.

Not federated yet either unfortunately. But I think one of the few fediverse projects that dogfoods ActivityPub by using the client to server protocol to communicate between frontend and api.

also doesn't really federate

> Large instances like Mastodon.social are generally blocked tho (if your admin/democracy cares about a vibrant Fediverse). Ah, so you achieve vibrancy by .. blocking a large number of the users?
Honestly, I think this is the wrong way of looking at things. The Fediverse isn't really like a single social network that's shattered amongst many instances ... it's more like a bunch of individual, separate hangouts, in the vein of classic forums and IRC chatrooms and fandom websites, which have the ability to talk to each other and share stuff if they want. It's not so much about "blocking" mastodon.social as not…

Thanks for pointing this out. I guess this is something I had assumed Google does by serving the fonts for free, but I never really bothered to look into it. Going to remove all Google Fonts references from my projects now.
Whether you believe them or not is up to you of course.
Is there a rust implementation of mastodon? The dependencies for the current implementations are too brittle IMHO.
