About:
Fedify is a command-line interface (CLI) toolchain designed to streamline the development and management of ActivityPub-based federated services. It provides developers with essential commands to scaffold, debug, and deploy decentralized applications efficiently. The tool simplifies the complexities of federation protocols, allowing users to focus on building interoperable social web applications.
Key Features:
  • Scaffolding for new ActivityPub projects
  • Protocol debugging and inspection tools
  • Federation testing utilities
  • CLI commands for managing actors and inboxes
Use Cases:
  • Developing and testing ActivityPub servers
  • Debugging federation issues between instances
  • Scaffolding boilerplate code for decentralized apps
Alternatives:
  • Node.js libraries (e.g., OStatus, ActivityPub) – Fedify provides a unified CLI experience, whereas libraries require custom integration.
  • Manual cURL requests – Fedify automates protocol-specific headers and payload formatting.
