@rysiek and WordPress already has ActivityPub support. It's going mainstream, baby!

@rysiek Ooh nice. Some communities that gotten used of using only Discourse this would open some doors 😄

@rysiek we at @edgeryders are very fond of Discourse. What does ActivityPub support mean in practice?

Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦

@alberto_cottica in practice it means it should pretty seamlessly federate with any other Fediverse instance.

In other words, every Discourse forum will be able to become a Fediverse instance, and federate with Mastodon, Akkoma, Pixelfed, Lemmy or any other kind of Fediverse instance.

Implementation details are till unclear, so not all is clear yet.

@alberto_cottica but from what I see in the Discourse thread, it might not be enabled by default.

Which is a good thing — you don't want existing forums to suddenly start spilling content all over fedi, that would be a surprising change in privacy expectations.

@rysiek@mstdn.social @alberto_cottica@mastodon.green @edgeryders@mastodon.green Last I saw, this was going to be a one way federation, with AP content getting pulled in to Discourse, but not the other way around.

That was based on a discussion I saw on lemmy several months ago though. I'm not sure if it's still accurate

This is a federation-level event. :blobcatwinktongue:

@rysiek Nice! Personally, the biggest change I'm waiting for is Tumblr adding activitypub support.

@rysiek
AFAIK it was an effort that stopped. Some group was supposed to get funding and didn't
:pfire: 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 :pfire:

Let’s say for example Facebook implemented Activitypub, wouldn’t that be bad for us (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc… users) since Facebook needs to know who commented on who’s post or followers maybe relations between users, wouldn’t that make it easier to scrap data from Mastodon easily you know what am I talking about it’s Facebook.

@rysiek my primary interaction with Discourse instances are user forums for a couple programming langs

I think it'd be super interesting to be able to post a Q there and "mirror" it on my feed, or vice versa, to get cross-pollinating answers from both places based on replies to each

Obv that's not likely how the feature is going to work in practice (and maybe shouldn't, thinking abt trolls and the way blocking works) but it's a cool idea

@rysiek @feditips

Nice.

But will it have Full Text search that so many fediadmins seem to think everyone needs?

waimus

@rysiek Lol I thought Snap were trying to federate with Flathub and other Flatpak remotes haha
