- mikae1 1y ago> a federated social networking toolkit to customise and host your own online space and control your experience at the most granular level. Bonfire social is built on it. https://bonfire.cafe https://bonfire.cafe is a Bonfire social instance. Looks very Mastodon. Here are some other apps built on Bonfire: https://bonfirenetworks.org/apps/ https://bonfirenetworks.org/apps/
- ricardobeat 1y agoWhat is "it" though? It's hard to figure out from any of the About page, Design, or the README [1, 2, 3]. Only when getting to the Architecture [4] section much later in the docs, it starts mentioning ActivityPub, but still no useful description of the project - "an unusual piece of software" is the only provided bit. Is it a framework, a new protocol, a network? Looks like the former - an application to write ActivityPub based software, but I'm only 50% sure.

- squigz 1y agoWhy are you so unsure about this - it explicitly says it's a framework?
