 #Smithereen update. Groups are more-or-less done, as a proof of concept. They should federate in theory, but I haven't tested any of it yet because I'm too lazy to set up a second internet-facing instance and Mastodon isn't very much compatible with what I'm doing here. That said, there's still a lot of work ahead. Admin/moderator features, public admin list, events, invitations... 10 comments
@grishka cool! Maybe you could test with lemmy, it should be fully compliant with activitypub now (and if not, let me know). We have a test server with open federation at https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/ @felix Mastodon sends this: Accept: application/activity+json, application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", text/html;q=0.1 This also returns HTML. application/activity+json by itself works. Many web frameworks parse the Accept header and allow specifying different handlers for different content types. I only had to specify it twice to cover all possible cases: @grishka actually I think we support the exact headers defined in the activitypub spec. But not the one you mention, and I dont know if our web framework supports parsing the accept header. Anyway, here are our docs for federation: https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/en/federation/overview.html https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/en/federation/lemmy_protocol.html  @grishka @activitypub I so glad this has come up in my feed again. I saw an earlier post of yours about it, and knew I'd seen a post about #activitypubgroups somewhere before, but couldn't find it! Can't wait to have a play at some point! :) |

You can actually try joining the group by following it from any ActivityPub server: @wow_look_a_group, but it doesn't post anything itself so nothing will show up in your feed. It works by forwarding LD-signed activities of people posting things on the wall. Oh, and I should make /groups/X/wall return a real collection of posts. And then will be the time to write my FEP about publicly-appendable collections.
