#Identica is using Pump.io which is currently being updated to support #ActivityPub by Evan Prodromou (The person who started this whole thing we are fucking with here way back when)
@js hmm. #ActivityPub makes some heavy use of #JSON, and Mike has moved Zot6 onto making more use of it too, if I remember rightly from the spec I read. So ...
I wonder if #ActivityPub could be used to federate BeWelcome with other platforms for non-commercial hospitality-sharing (unlike AirBnB and BookABatch which are commercial)? I'm not sure how many there are, or how compatible their goals and systems are, but I know there is also HospitalityClub.org, HelpX.net, WarmShowers.org, Workaway.info and the various WWOOF schemes.
One interesting new development is something called #Osada, which effectively bridges Zot to other protocols like ActivityPub. Not really sure how, but it's interesting: https://framagit.org/macgirvin/osada
"Osada is ultimately designed to bridge #ActivityPub with #Zap, which is a pure Zot/6 social network application; however you might find that it is a quite capable ActivityPub client on its own."
@clacke hmm. I wonder if there is a way to set up a competitive bounty system to encourage and reward #fediverse apps adding new federated features? First app to add #ActivityPub group support, first app to implement #NomadicIdentity and channel cloning (inter-operable with #Hubzilla), that sort of thing. I would put some tokens into that.
Anyone know if or when #Mastodon will support #GNUsocial !groups? #ActivityPub has vocab for supporting federated groups, so it ought to be possible, and will be necessary for #Prismo to work with Mastodon.
@nolan I too thank you for your work on this. An email app is pretty network bound too - it's pretty pointless on an air-gapped system - but offline email is still really useful. As the number of #ActivityPub apps grows and diversifies (PeerTube, Prismo etc), having access to downloaded content while offline will only become more useful.
@lightone@drequivalent microblog.pub is a micro-blogging app compatible with most of the others there via #ActivityPub. Wasn't that the criteria for inclusion on the main page?

Mike Macgirvin#osada is shaping up to be a pretty decent #activitypub client. We're still at least a week or two away from a public alpha but things are moving forward at a steady gallop. Groups, photos, videos, events, conversational (FB style) structure. Native WebDAV and federated single sign-on. A few other goodies are available from the "app store" (in our store everything is free). It also has a working permissions system and several privacy options because it's also a #zot6 client. I'm trying to make it compatible with the plethora of Twitter-style microblogs, but some of them have pretty brutal HTML filters. We'll see.
#ActivityPub support on Write.as was just the first part of what I wanted to create for the #fediverse :fediverse: Next, I wanted a place to read everything in peace.
Soon you'll be able to create an account on the Read.as instance, and follow platforms like #Plume and #WriteAs that federate long-form articles — for now it just needs to be run locally.
