Soon, some mainstream social media sites could interconnect with Mastodon.<\/p>\n<p>Mastodon uses <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/activitypub.rocks\/\">the ActivityPub protocol<\/a> to discover, follow, and message people across servers, much like how all email services use the same protocol for sending and receiving messages. Other social media platforms have already adopted this protocol, such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pixelfed.org\/\">PixelFed<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/joinpeertube.org\/\">PeerTube<\/a>, allowing people on one platform to follow and talk to people on other platforms. The services that support ActivityPub and all the people using them is sometimes collectively called \u201cthe Fediverse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matt\u00a0Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic \u2014 the current owner of the social media platform <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/\">Tumblr<\/a> \u2014 confirmed that Tumblr will soon support the ActivityPub protocol. He said in a Twitter post, \u201cwe\u2019ll add activitypub for interconnect.\u00a0We are mostly dealing with the waves of new users right now and keeping everything scaling but [interoperability] and activitypub are ASAP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear to what degree Tumblr would support ActivityPub. Presumably, it will allow people on Mastodon to follow blogs on Tumblr, and vice-versa. It\u2019s possible Tumblr could go even further, adding support for polls and other features beyond regular posts. Tumblr has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/about.tumblr.com\/\">over 560 million blogs<\/a>, while there are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinhackers.org\/@mastodonusercount\/109405982577705917\">around 7.5 million Mastodon accounts<\/a>. Both those numbers are for the total amount of accounts, not active accounts, but it\u2019s clear Tumblr joining the \u201cFediverse\u201d would still be a significant shift.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the photo sharing site <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/\">Flickr<\/a> is considering ActivityPub support. CEO Don MacAskill said on Twitter, \u201cWas just discussing ActivityPub earlier this week internally. Should we add to Flickr? No promises, just thinking out loud to gauge interest. It might be right up our alley, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flickr is primarily an image and video hosting site, but it does have support for some social networking features. Much like with Tumblr, it could potentially allow Flickr accounts to follow people on Mastodon and see their media, and vice-versa.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s exciting to see more social media sites interested in supporting ActivityPub. The ability for people on Mastodon, Tumblr, Flickr, PixelFed, and other platforms to all talk to each other would be fantastic, and Tumblr could serve as an alternative to Mastodon for people interested in a more stable server experience (at the cost of Tumblr\u2019s ads).<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2022\/11\/21\/tumblr-to-add-support-for-activitypub-the-social-protocol-powering-mastodon-and-other-apps\/\">TechCrunch<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/donmacaskill\/status\/1594945727255699457\">Don MacAskill (Twitter)<\/a><br \/><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
