      @dsh postActiv is planned to eventually also support zot and diaspora's federation protocol.

      @dsh The nice thing about making federation modular is that I can play with pretty much anything.  ActivityPub is the one Im kind of meh about right now, but someone else can implement it pretty easily, even as postActiv is presently, if they were so inclined.  Hell even OStatus is implemented as a module.  You can disable it and just have a private/non-federating site, if you want.

      Nice work man. This really cleared up the last little bit of confusion that I had on this topic. I'll share it via Twitter!

      Nice article, thanks. Looks like diaspora is alone; not surprising with the current management structure.

      @dsh Hey, Sean. Recently I realized that I can follow Diaspora accounts from GNU social... Their posts don't arrive uninjured here (e.g. sometimes no pictures, etc.) but it works somehow. What made that happen?

      @platano.  Diaspora uses a pubsubhubbub service provided by Google to allow folks to subscribe to your Diaspora public feed. GNU-Social uses this mechanism to follow your public content. As you've noted media handling is buggered. Most OStatus projects separate media from content. Diaspora feeds do not separate media from content but instead merges them together.

       @mike Oh, so one of the several protocols used by OStatus just happens to fit the job of subscribing to Diasporans... Thanks a lot Mike!! Yes, it's kinda cool, although not perfect. It's a pity it doesn't work the other way round (followig GS people from D*), though. They don't even see my comments to their posts, etc.
       
       BTW, I didn't receive any notification for your comment, I just saw it on my timeline cause I'm following you. It shows my blue username link (withouth the preceding "@"), though. More protocol mess, I presume!

       Notifications and how this relates to mentions isn't spelled out in the specs and every project does them a bit different. I'll compare yours (I have an example in front of me from your last comment) and try to match it after I choke down some more coffee. I think I see something that changed from the way Status.Net used to do this.
