Which of the top 4 Fediverse server projects will be the first to implement the ActivityPub API?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

Number 5 is WordPress and they have it implemented already!

[golemwire@fosstodon.org]

@evan I don't get it, isn't the point of these four supporting AP?

@golemwire it's OK not to respond to polls about topics you don't understand!

This repo might help a bit.

@golemwire ActivityPub has two main parts; a social API and a federation protocol. All of these platforms support the protocol but not the API (at least, not in read-write form).

Rankings from fedidb.com which skips Flipboard and Threads.

@evan Oh!
> Instead, they often implement platform-specific APIs, with a narrow range of functionality. Mastodon, for example, implements the Mastodon API, which focuses primarily on microblogging. Threads implements the Threads API. Many other ActivityPub implementers have APIs that clone the Mastodon API, to make it easier for users to adapt third-party Mastodon clients to their platforms.

That's really cool. Thank you so much for working on stuff like this, it makes a difference (you know

@evan how come Mastodon does not implement it already ???

[politipet@piaille.fr]

@evan do Flipboard and Threads implement it ?

[padeluun@digitalcourage.social]

@evan @golemwire Thank you for the explanation.

[alios@23.social]

@padeluun @evan @golemwire We support both UUCP and ZConnect ..#scnr

@evan Option 5: the API will be abandoned, due to developer disinterest, in turn because most users just use the apps that are handed to them.

@evan
I voted based on funding size

[grishka@friends.grishka.me]

Am I understanding it right that it's essentially the same C2S AP, but with clarifications and improvements that make it more practical to implement?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@df only a few experimental ones.
