Hello fediverse!
This morning we’re opening a beta for Surf, a new kind of browser for a new kind of web — the open social web.
Built from the ground up on ActivityPub, AT Proto and RSS, you can create and surf amazing custom feeds that organize people, videos, articles, images and podcasts around the things you care about.
Surf is a liberating new approach to how we use social media and I can’t wait to hear what you think of it. Learn more and sign up for the beta at https://surf.social

@mike Looking forward to trying this out! Is this strictly an app, or will it also be available on the web?

@Mike McCue What are the chances that the ActivityPub side will get full (or any) support for Pleroma and its forks, Misskey and its forks, Friendica and other things that use the Mastodon client API?
Or even server applications that can speak ActivityPub, but that don't have the Mastodon client API implemented?
I sincerely hope that Surf isn't built against only Mastodon so hard that it's impossible to add more than just incidental and unsupported compatibility with anything that isn't Mastodon.

@jupiter_rowland Our goal is to seamlessly support any ActivityPub feed. For example Pixelfed and Friendica work great and Lemmy is pretty good too. We’ll gradually work through the variations and collaborate with folks to get thins working as seamlessly as possible.

@mike My only question is will it remember where I am in the timeline or will it always infuriatingly scroll to the top? All the apps I’ve seen so far (except Ivory) do this and it’s maddening!

@selgart The beta currently does not do this but it is definitely in the plan. Do you like the Ivory handles this? What’s your ideal approach?
