Social Web FOSDEM Wrap-up and Next Steps

It's been more than a week since the last event at #SocialWebFOSDEM, and I'm just now getting to writing up some summary thoughts and follow-on notes. We had three big planned events at FOSDEM, so there is an overwhelming amount to think about, and take-aways to discuss. The biggest take-away for me was: we needed this. The Social Web developer community came together in person for the first time in a while, and it was remarkably fruitful. For those who weren't able to attend in person, or […]

I got back home from the amazing and while I am drafting a “Build Your Own Timeline Algorithm” blog post to follow up on my talk I decided to keep the momentum going with a thread about it. You'll find my code at github.com/aittalam/byota and the talk slides here: fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event (a video with the recording of the talk should be available soon too). Now let’s dig into !

Good morning Fedi friends! Please don't mind me as I self-host yet another Fediverse software 🙈

I haven't been able to stop thinking about #Friendica since I watched @Tobias 's presentation at #SocialWebFosdem. It reminded of all the reasons why I fell in love with it last summer.

I stopped using it in Sep, as I experimented with other projects (hello #Sharkey) but I wanna try it again. It's so advanced in many ways.

🚨 level 5 emergency 🚨

I just logged onto my #YunoHost admin dashboard to see how many resources a self-hosted #Friendica instance would require.

Aw just 50M RAM, 50M disk. Say whaaaaaaat?!? 😍

I think I know what I'll do first thing Monday morning... after I back up my YunoHost setup 🙊🙈

I "blame" this on @Tobias@social.diekershoff.de and his superb talk at #SocialWebFosdem: "Friendica - under the radar since 2010".

His presentation's slides are available here:

For those who were unable to attend this past weekend's Social Web After Hours event held at HackerSpace Brussels (@hsbxl@mastodon.online), I've uploaded a re-recording of my presentation, which you can check out here! Sadly, there was no live recording of the rather lively session, so you'll just have to take my word for it :smile_cat:

If you're looking for just the slides, you can get them here as well :point_down:
