Since I’m on something of a gaming kick, I think I’m going to try and finish plotting out the rest of the fae adventure I’m running for my kids, while also (hopefully) finishing my super secret astral gaming project.

Can I do it? Stay tuned and find out!

For those curious, the new Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge I’m building (bidirectional) simply requires three things:

  1. You register your Twtxt feed to the bridge: https://bridge.twtxt.net
  2. You verify that you in fact own/control the feed by putting the verification code somewhere on/in your feed (doesn’t matter where or how)
  3. You proxy/forward requests for /.well-known/webfinger to the Bridge bridge.twtxt.net.

I’m still testing through and ironing out bugs 🐛 Please be patient! 🙏
