Discourse federation: ActivityPub plugin in planning stages
US,
"...Pavilion and CDCK (Discourse.org) are discussing building an ActivityPub plugin for Discourse. After some discussion, we’ve landed on the spec below. Any comments or suggestions welcome before we finalise it. Note that
- Support for incoming content (e.g. posts on Mastodon etc being imported into Discourse) is intentionally excluded. It will be possible to add this in a later version.
- Support for following users (as opposed to categories) is also intentionally excluded. It would also be possible to add this in a later version.
- Substantial parts of the specification are following the approach taken by Lemmy.
- Pavilion will be building the MVP plugin (I’ll be working on it), and CDCK will own and host it (i.e. it will be a CDCK plugin, not a Pavilion plugin). ..."
