   Using an RSS feed reader more now. Liking it, but I feel the strong urge to appreciate/acknowledge what I read. A heart or like in a sense as a signal to the author. But I can’t…

     @zef 🤨huh? Why is that a constraint? You said ActivityPub is the solution to what you're looking for. ActivityPub is literally just the formal name for Fediverse, so either it IS what you want, or it isn't...you pretty much contradicted yourself...😬

     What I just realized is that #activitypub core property is that it makes feeds two way conversations. Where with RSS you just quietly read. ActivityPub enables feeding back with replies and other signals like the “like” and “heart” type that I suggested. So… probably #activitypub is the solution to what I was looking for. The only constraint is that to contribute you need to be on the #fediverse

     What I’d hope for here would be a simple probably unauthenticated API (lower barrier to entry) that allows to basically send the equivalent of a reaction emoji, optionally with your name or email or other identifier. Not to game some algorithm, no payment. Just: hey you, I read this. Thanks.

     Is this a thing?

     @BeAware my original ask was for a solution that didn’t require to be on anything or authenticate in any way. ActivityPub provides what I was looking for except that it requires authentication and therefore an account on the fediverse.
