Speaking of copying Mastodon's implementation, I have a funny story.

Have you heard of socialhub.activitypub.rocks ? It's a hub for AP devs, I started it in 2019 using a domain I recycled from my first ActivityPub project attempt.

Before I created @pixelfed, I made a GNU/social successor from scratch, it was almost ready until I realized I made a huge mistake, I didn't account for remote profiles.

I almost gave up, and later started Pixelfed by copying Mastodon's database schema

Never give up 😉

@dansup the real problem here is that if you want your API to really be compatible with the whole Fediverse, you must copy Mastodon’s implementation, which does not follow the ActivityPub perfectly.
