After a long silence, Tumblr confirms it is still planning to join the fediverse. > The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news. #Fediverse #ActivityPub #Tumblr

I've curated a solid collection of silly content in the new Surf app beta, creating a feed called "Laughable". With YouTube RSS feeds, I basically recreated my TikTok doomscrolling without ads or tracking. Interested in joining the beta? Follow the link, then use the code SURFSHARES in the signup form for priority access.

2025 is the year for small or one user instances. In light of all this meta mess, I am glad I invested time into learning how to host my own social media instances.

I've been through this before with several other instances. (1/3)
