| Summary | 0002929: ActivityPub standard support (Fediverse) | ||||
| Description | The https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ is based on advancing the pump.io specification, and is used by various clients (https://github.com/pump-io/pump.io/wiki/Clients) and the identi.ca service. It is essentially a free Twitter. Similar to RSS but for activity feeds rather than news feeds. Allow any activity feed to be turned into an ActivityPub XML feed. Allow any ActivityPub XML feed to be aggregated into what is shown in an activity block. | ||||
| Additional Information | There is also OStatus, and Diaspora which has its own protocol - but ActivityPub has largely been winning the battle, largely due to the success of Mastodon. | ||||

Now that people are upset with the direction of Twitter, Mastodon has been gaining a lot of traction - and Mastadon is using ActivityPub. It may not necessarily be particularly useful to implement ActivityPub into Composr. Composr is not a social network (it's for website and STRUCTURED communities), and we implement various standards that can be used to bridge into networks using ActivityPub...

There is a standard "MicroPub" by the same committee as ActivityPub, for publishing changes rather than syndicating them. I don't think it has gained traction but wanted to mention it. I guess the idea is divorcing frontend from data, but that doesn't seem very important to me TBH, and I think you'd have a hard-time decoupling them and still having a good experience. |
