Ok so out of stuff using #ActivityPub, #Mastodon replaces Twitter, #Pixelfed replaces Instagram, #PeerTube replaces YouTube. What is there that replaces SoundCloud? #askMastodon

@alanz @Antanicus @alcinnz I've been aware of #Twister for a while but haven't got around to testing it. Figuring out a way to bridge between that and the #ActivityPub #fediverse would be an intriguing experiment in testing out some of these concepts in practice :;)

@bhaugen I'm confused. Do you mean their own instance of an #ActivityPub app? Or their own AP app? Or their own standard like AP (I'm guessing you don't mean that ;)

@bob @0x3F @alexl #NomadicIdentity is powerful but complicated. My suspicion is that the group drafting #ActivityPub didn't think they could get it out the door while it was still relevant if they tried to shoehorn in next-level features like that. Remember that AP, like XMPP, is written as an extensible standard, so it may be possible to write an extension to provide for nomadic identity. If it was easier to implement, I suspect more projects would.

@0x3F @0x3F #RiseUp.net used to offer multiple web clients for their mail server (#SquirrelMail and #Imp). Their #webmail login page had a set of login/ password fields for each client they offered, but that was years ago, and it could be done now with a drop-down that allows users to choose the web UI for that session, defaulting to the one they used on last login. There are many pros to an instance landing page being separate from the #ActivityPub app.

@0x3F I hope to see all the existing apps properly implement the server>client part of the #ActivityPub spec. That way, instances can choose the back-end they prefer, and offer their users a choice of clients, so they can have the UI they prefer (and try new ones out) without having to constantly set up and keep track on new accounts.

@feonixrift archiveofourown.org looks like a great alternative to #DeviantArt. I really like the fact they make an effort to make at least the basic usable without JS. Do you know if they have any intention to implement #ActivityPub?

willdo @mhall119 have you had any further discussions with Jason from #SocialHome about working together on #ActivityPub federation?

@sullybiker @lnxw48a1 if the @gme #GNUSocial folks implement the full #ActivityPub stack (server>client as well as server>server), it wouldn't too hard to use a GNU Social backend with the #Mastodon web client (for those who like it). But I suspect a lot of the folks on Masto just don't know there are alternatives:

@lnxw48a1 @sullybiker is anyone still actively developing #Qvitter? Are there any plans to port it to server>client #ActivityPub?

@dansup @cwebber @Gargron @lain @mmn should we organize an #ActivityPub un-conference? I’d like to be there too

@gme I'm keen to try my hand at self-hosting at some point, but I'm waiting for the dust to settle on the first wave of #ActivityPub roll-outs. Ideally all the projects will do full AP API support, so any #WebClient can be used with any #BackEnd. Then I can choose the UI I like, *and* the most efficient back-end for my needs.

@xuv are.na is just a web bookmarking tool. It’s not distributed but they are pretty open to stuff and it’s run by good people. They are talking about trying to support DAT too. Unrelated I was just looking at #shaarli and thinking of how great it would be if we could add #ActivityPub and it was funny to see you post the same thing at the same time.

@maloki for the same reason, I'd also point out that instance admins also have the option to switch their site to a different app that supports #ActivityPub #ForkOff. The inter-app federation means you're not stuck with #Mastodon, which like the free code license, also protects communities from #LockIn (" Like-in not lock-in!" Dan from GroupServer)

@DatTux #ActivityPub is a bunch of things, it's a suite of different standards that when followed all together will allow federation of messages between servers.

@dsblank I see your doing #activitypub stuff https://github.com/dsblank/activitypub I’ve been trying to track all the progress across different platforms.

@maloki @annika @staticsafe there's been some discussion of federating #GitLab using #ActivityPub:
