 @J12t entering the URL into Mastodon's "explore" search didn't return any actors so I suppose books themselves cannot be interacted with from outside bookwyrm @J12t you can find lemmy subreddits by searching for them as if they were mastodon users. You could imagine a system where bookwyrm's books were similarly exposed as Actors that people outside bookwyrm could interact with.  @schizanon I'm trying to explore what people do with ActivityPub that goes beyond microblogging. It seems it would be perfectly fine to have, say, "book" as a noun / ActivityPub object, to which AP activities could be applied. E.g. the vocabulary already defines a "read" activity. Bookwyrm could accept such activities from the outside, for example. (ignoring the "minor" question whether there are any apps that can generate that) @J12t again, Lemmy (and #KBin) expose their subreddits as #ActivityPub Actors. using #Mastodon we can mention @lemmy and it (may) appear as a post in the subreddit. There's tons of problems with how it works judging from the reaction I get from #Lemmy users when I use the feature. The fact is that Mastodon provides a microbloging interface. using it to do non-microbloging things is always gonna be weird.  @J12t @schizanon @genebean@bookwyrm.social is me on Bookwyrm. You can see my comments about books. Most of the UI requires you to be on the instance, but it still allows some interaction from other things in the fediverse |
@schizanon I have to have an account at bookwyrm.social for that, right?
