pump.io
Sign in to savepump.io is an implementation of a social networking service built on a common communication protocol that can be used in a federated social network. Started by Evan Prodromou, it is a follow-up to his previous microblogging software StatusNet (later merged into GNU social) and its OStatus protocol. It is designed to be more lightweight and usable for general activity streams instead of the predecessor's focus on microblogging timelines, with its goal being to achieve "most of what people want from a social network".
Source code
This is pump.io. It's a stream server that does most of what people really want from a social network. I post something and my followers see it. That's the rough idea behind the pump. There's an API defined in the API.md file. It uses activitystrea.ms JSON as the main data and command format. You can post almost anything that can be represented with activity streams -- short or long text, bookmarks, images, video, audio, events, geo checkins. You can follow friends, create lists of people, and so on. For information about project policies please check out the GitHub wiki, and for technical documentation see our ReadTheDocs website.

pump.io is an implementation of a social networking service built on a common communication protocol that can be used in a federated social network. Started by Evan Prodromou, it is a follow-up to his previous microblogging software StatusNet (later merged into GNU social) and its OStatus protocol. It is designed to be more lightweight and usable for general activity streams instead of the predecessor's focus on microblogging timelines, with its goal being to achieve "most of what people want from a social network".
Development of the software started in September 2011, with an initial version being released on October 3, 2012. identi.ca, the largest StatusNet instance at the time (which was also ran by Prodromou), converted to pump.io in June 2013.
