"Activity Pub can also fulfill many of the same functions as AT. While Activity Pub servers are more monolithic making a “crawler” fairly impossible, there are several various Activity Pub server types (e.g. Mastodon vs Lemmy) that are mostly/partially compatible and would replace the need for crawlers. Throwing in user-owned account identification Activity Pub could also do everything AT can do."
I found it confusing. For one thing, it asks me for my Mastodon account. Though Akkoma uses Mastodon’s API, not all sites recognize this nor support it—I don’t know if BridgyFed would reject.
Secondly, it’s not clear how to opt in. I think I opted in but there was nothing to say “Congrats! People from #Bluesky can see you!”
Also, how do I receive #Bluesky posts? That’s not apparent to me.
@nunesdennis@pfefferle@bsky.brid.gy@snarfed.org oh shoot, did I include the wrong link? I'll fix that. Now I'm confused about what I signed up for when I signed in to brid.gy/mastodon/start
I hope it doesn't start posting my website's posts here because I already have my site connected via ActivityPub for WP.
Hopefully before 4.3 lands we'll also have proper official support for multiple redirect URIs landing. These are some pull requests I've been working on for a while to improve the app development experience in Mastodon.
Thanks to Tusks by @bardi, I have decided to experiment a #MegaThread. Over time, I will compile great #Mastodon tools, apps, and services in a single, long thread.
I will update the Mega Thread every time I find a new tool that I find worth mentionning, either third-party or first-party.
For the first post, I want to showcase… Tusks, obviously! It’s an excellent app for macOS, iOS, and iPad to compose and update threads.
Looking into this Summer of Protocols thing that @evan and @tomcoates got accepted for to work on adding encryption to #ActivityPub, and realized its a grant from the Ethereum Foundation. I am not opposed to crypto slush money flowing into more useful projects like the #fediverse but thought it was interesting that I hadn't seen anyone mention this fact yet.
Cool! if you have any notes Dave on what the issue was, and the fix needed --> I think that would help other ActivtyPub develpers deal with it as they build out their services...
