Good news everyone! We hit our first milestone: maintenance is 100% funded. Thank you all ❤️

Next up: unlock the stretch goal to co‑design federated groups: community‑owned spaces to organise across the fediverse, with no server or platform lock‑in.

Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse

Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They'll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside you’ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.

I have a question for #ActivityPub fanatics. For the Social Web Devroom at FOSDEM 2026, we've reached out to over 50 different Fediverse projects to make sure they know about the event. Is there anyone else we need to reach? If you know someone working on Fediverse software development OR organisational and social issues, please share this call-for-proposals link. Our deadline is Dec 1, 2025 and we don't want to miss any part of this movement.
