In response to Bray’s toot, Evan Prodromou — one of the creators of ActivityPub, who is currently writing an O’Reilly book about the protocol — noted that this “is also the argument for using the ActivityPub API.” He described the API as “an open, extensible API that can handle any kind of activity type — not...
“ActivityPub’s API is how client applications interact with the data on a user’s main account server. It lets the user read data on the same or other servers, and it lets them create activities and other kinds of objects on that server that get shared (under the user’s control) with the rest of the world.”
I can’t see how Apub’s C2S API can realistically be implemented. It’s fairly light on details and if I’m understanding it correctly the only standard way to get activity from the server is to pull from an actor’s inbox, which has to be an OrderedCollection of all the activity the actor has received (likes, notifications, posts, the lot). This shifts a lot of the work to clients which, apart from being being very classist, is very limiting for implementations.
what #mastodon#client do y'all like on #linux? the web-ui is cool and all but it might be neat to have something dedicated. for reference, i am a #husky enjoyer on #android.

"We're launching a new Gen Y concept in market. It's a fresh approach to Platform X, and we're working with TikTok influencers on unique NFTs. We need you to create 120 generative AI style characters in two weeks. We don't have a high budget, but you'll get lots of exposure. Someone on Fiverr offered to do it for $ 75."
Elk ist ein Fediverse-Client als alternative #Weboberfläche und nutzt die #Mastodon-#Client-#API, um sich mit Konten auf kompatiblen Instanzen zu verbinden.
Nach eigenen Angaben befindet sich Elk im #Alpha-Status. Bugs und fehlenden Funktionen sind zu erwarten.
If there's one thing I'd change about the fediverse (as I understand it), it would be a wider adoption of the ActivityPub client-to-server API. Even more standards!
