@zatnosk I spoke to Matt Slater from #CommunityForge at Open 2018, and he is working on implementing #ActivityPub, so they can inter-operate with any mutual credit platforms that do the same. Federation is not a focus for the Loomio team. They're targeting a different use case I guess

@cj

It always is! Thanks a lot for giving it thought and documentating the issues :)

This still will require hardcoding the extensions pre-compilation, right? That's fine for most use cases but wouldn't work for a "generic #ActivityPub server" that can support any activities/objects as in: https://social.coop/@mayel/100469525067581562

PS. We've been talking with @bhaugen and others about the need for a generic agent-centric #ActivityPub server, so that instead of signing up to a bunch of different servers, a user could have their indentity and data all in one place, and all the apps they use (clients, but if necessary server-side "plugins" as well) would interact with the activity/objects types that they support.

What do you think?

Yeah I agree, would be happy to classify things that way, only most apps so far are both server and client.

Besides specific apps, here's a list of #ActivityPub libraries:

* Flask/Python ActivityPub server: https://github.com/rowanlupton/pylodon
* Tornado/Python: https://github.com/dsblank/activitypub
* Python: https://github.com/tsileo/little-boxes
* C# ActivityPub server: https://git.puckipedia.com/kroeg
* Python example: https://github.com/tOkeshu/activitypub-example
* Rust, Lightweight Mastodon- and GNU social-compatible ActivityPub and OStatus server: https://github.com/Arkanosis/microstatus
* Rust: https://github.com/rustodon/rustodon
* Go: https://github.com/go-fed/activity

I've started putting together a list of #fediverse apps, focused on implementations of #ActivityPub, documenting their status and what tech stack they're (being) built with: https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks

This is a publicly editable doc, so would appreciate corrections/additions, and feedback especially from fediverse devs, but also from instance admins and users:

- What app/implementation/stack did you try?
- Pros/cons you encountered
- What stack & libraries would you choose if starting today?

ActivityPub was only finished in March of this year, its awesome to see so many new implementations. The summer isn't over yet 😉
