Since the is no UI whatsoever for federated features in Gitea currently, I'm currently using some Ruby scripts[1] based on that old ActivityPub blog post that Gargron did four years ago[2]. Hey, it works well enough for me!

@SuperDicq @hazelnot You should try federated Gitea experimental builds, everyone will think you are either insane or mentally segfaulting.

@helene @mariusor yes, that's right that this is about servers, not clients since Gitea isn't planning on implementing C2S, at least for now.

@helene for all the examples you gave above, I think they're all reasonable examples of servers processing types they don't understand. For instance treating repos as accounts is perfectly fine because you can follow repos, and treating issues as posts also makes sense so fediverse users can comment on them or even do emoji reacts.

@humanetech @helene interesting, thanks for the clarification.

@mike @helene Thanks for the correction. I'm actually not working on Gitea-Mastodon interoperability right now, and it was someone else that told me Mastodon was the problem and supposedly violating the spec. Also, Mastodon and go-ap (the AP library Gitea is using) both don't support type arrays, so that complicates any solution involving type arrays.
