Before setting up the activity feed, you’ll need a Mastodon account. Updates published through this account will appear in the feed.
If you don’t have an account yet, sign up on a Mastodon instance of your choice. After registering, make sure your profile is accessible and ready for posts, as those posts will appear in the activity feed.
Open your Mastodon profile and copy your full username. The username usually follows this format:
username@instance.domain
In this example, the username is zaphosting@mstdn.instance. Next, open the Configuration tab (raw text view) for your FiveM server and edit the server.cfg file. Scroll to the very bottom and add the following line:
sets activitypubFeed username
Replace username with your Mastodon username.
Save the file and restart the server. After restarting, it can take up to 20 minutes for the activity feed to become available. Once it’s active, a new Feed tab will appear when you open the server, showing posts from the linked Mastodon account.
With the activity feed configured, server updates and announcements are displayed clearly for your players. This setup improves transparency, strengthens community engagement, and gives you an efficient way to share news and information—all without external links or platforms.
If you have any questions or need help, our support team is here for you every day! 🙂
