To be honest, the Ghost ActivityPub emails are both exciting and a little bit painful for me to read. Ghost is a popular platform and it is definitely a good thing to support an open standard. But also, I did most of this same work 6 years ago, without the jokes and pug artwork. Let’s go already! 🤪
Pratik Haha! I feel your pain. I feel the same about marketing and couldn't do it.
Numeric Citizen I kind of agree with you on this! I like to see progress but let's cut the chase and go to the point!
Manton Reece @numericcitizen @pratik Thanks y'all! I just need to vent a little. 🙂
John Spurlock @manton but at least Ghost is already making their posts available over ActivityPub C2S
would love to see similar support in micro blog!
Manton Reece @js Oh really, I missed that they're supporting C2S. I'm happy to support it... Are there any C2S clients yet? That's mostly what I was waiting for.
John Spurlock @manton you have a good start with making your actors available, next step would be to make micro blog posts available when fetched with the AP request header (or possibly use a new uri under /activitypub for the posts? "uri" can be different than "url") with similar payloads to those you already send in S2S calls
And reference/include those posts in collections, like the currently rather anemic outbox : )
Manton Reece @js Thanks! Yes, the outbox is more or less not implemented. 🙂 I'll fix that.
