Fediverse & IndieWeb

Skriva is a first-class fediverse and IndieWeb citizen. All four protocols are built-in and can be independently toggled from admin settings.

ActivityPub

Your blog is an ActivityPub actor at @blog@yourdomain.com. Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, and other fediverse users can follow your blog and see new posts in their timeline.

  • Webfinger discovery at /.well-known/webfinger
  • Actor endpoint at /activitypub/actor
  • Inbox receives Follow, Undo, Create (replies)
  • Outbox serves published posts as activities
  • Followers collection
  • HTTP Signatures on all outbound deliveries
  • Automatic notification — followers are notified when you publish

Webmention

Send and receive webmentions per the W3C spec:

  • ReceivePOST /webmention accepts source/target
  • Verify — async verification that source links to target
  • Display — verified webmentions shown on post pages
  • Send — outgoing webmentions sent to linked pages when you publish
  • Admin — manage webmentions from the dashboard

IndieAuth

Your blog is an IndieAuth provider:

  • Authorization endpoint at /indieauth/auth
  • Token endpoint at /indieauth/token
  • Mandatory PKCE (S256) for all flows
  • OAuth server metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

Use your blog URL as your identity to sign in to IndieWeb services.

Micropub

Create, update, and delete posts from any Micropub client (Quill, Indigenous, etc.):

  • Create posts with title, content, tags
  • Update with replace/add/delete operations
  • Delete posts
  • Media upload at /micropub/media
  • Queries?q=config, ?q=source, ?q=category, ?q=syndicate-to

Configuration

All four protocols are enabled by default. Toggle them individually in Admin → Settings → IndieWeb:

yaml
# site.yaml
activitypub_enabled: true
webmention_enabled: true
indieauth_enabled: true
micropub_enabled: true

When a protocol is disabled:

  • Its endpoints return 404
  • Discovery <link> tags are removed from theme <head>
  • The fediverse address is hidden from footers
