@meso @alex I’ve got GPT-4 (w/ plugin) access, and it’s good at basic coding and scripting in almost any language. Gimme a follow-up prompt with some more specific requests, and it can probably help. For the record, the prompts used were:

Explain the ActivityPub protocol, make sure your response includes an explanation of how servers find each other, how “data” is fetched and synced across servers, what this “data” is called by the AP spec designers, and what the format of this “data” is.

and

this explains the underlying terminology and concepts of ActivityPub objects and stuff not the actual federation, it just says inbox and stuff, not really how inbox/outbox are supposed to work. Can you try explaining these concepts to me like I’m a seasoned programmer that is just trying to learn how to work with this spec?
