Just learned about FediSky, a project by @msonnberger.com that adds an ActivityPub instance sidecar to a PDS. Think Bridgy Fed except hosted by the PDS owner or Wafrn except reversed. Still in early dev, but keeping an eye on this space 👀

Developer Documentation for ActivityPub & Fediverse | SocialDocs
The comprehensive developer resource for building with ActivityPub, Mastodon, and the Fediverse. Guides, specs, API reference, and tools.

ActivityPub
ActivityPub is a protocol and open standard for decentralized social networking. It provides a client-to-server (C2S) API for creating and modifying content, as well as a federated server-to-server (S2S) protocol for delivering notifications and content to other servers. ActivityPub is the defining standard of the Fediverse, a decentralised social network of various social interaction models, and content types, which consists of independently managed instances of software such as Mastodon, Pixelfed and PeerTube, among others.
Manton Reece - Introducing the Micro.blog PDS
I’ve started rolling out an AT Protocol PDS — personal data server — for new Micro.blog users. In the Bluesky world, a PDS is what stores your posts, follows, photos, and other data from apps. In the same way that creating an account on Micro.blog automatically gives you a fediverse handle, I wanted people to be able to create a Micro.blog account and have everything they needed to sign into Bluesky.

Non-bluesky Public Hosted PDSs - Hilary's Leaflet
Existing public hosted PDS options. This also has some things I hope that anyone hosting a PDS will look at. (Backups, account creation and migration will be covered separately.)

github.comExploring the idea of self-hosting a Bluesky PDS alongside my Indiekit instance — turning it into a dual-protocol server that federates over both ActivityPub and AT Protocol simultaneously. Inspired by Wafrn’s approach, adapted to Indiekit’s plugin architecture and Cloudron deployment. The goal: ow…

rmendes.netICYMI, I've been quietly reviving Known, renamed it to Idno (its original name), and set it up so it both posts to ActivityPub and syncs to a PDS via standard.site. Not production-ready but super fun. My test instance (with very WIP design) is at idno.werd.io.
