Zash: Back in the day of OStatus you could publish new posts by updating a static Atom/RSS file, since OStatus instances would fall back to polling if you did not implement the push features. I miss that graceful fallback. I'm not convinced you actually can implement ActivityPub with static files, but I would happy to be proven wrong. ar-nelson: If ActivityPub services actually used the outbox, it would be possible to publish a static ActivityPub site. It’s completely standard-compliant. But, for reasons I still cannot fathom, backfilling has never been implemented in Mastodon and it doesn't seem like it will be anytime soon.
