Toot

Written by Steve Bate on 2024-10-27 at 08:09

I've been developing an #ActivityPub C2S-based (with extensions) API facade/proxy proof-of-concept for Mastodon. It runs as a separate process that supports proxying the Masto operations but also adds a postable C2S outbox with support for AP C2S activities. These activities are converted into upstream Mastodon API calls. This extended C2S API also supports search, streaming events, managing bookmark collections, and retrieving timeline collections. 1/2

The code isn’t quite ready to be published yet and the purpose of this C2S PoC implementation (Python) is experimentation, not high-performance production use. However, it will be useful for prototyping C2S extensions that can be documented using the FEP process. The documented extensions could be implemented as native functionality instead of using a proxy. The benefit of the proxy is that the proxied Mastodon instance still supports both Masto clients and extended C2S clients. 2/2

@steve Ooh, that's interesting! I'm trying to prototype a C2S web client. Well, was trying - it kinda stalled while I rewrite bits of my server. I'll be very interested to see this if/when you publish it.

@Dame_ Thanks. I tried reading about ActivityPods when they came out, and I've read the front page again, but I still just don't know what they are or what they do. And when they say 'But to post videos, you need an account on a PeerTube instance. And to post images, you need an account on a PixelFed instance.' that isn't true, which makes me skeptical of the other things they say. What are ActivityPods really?

@OpinionatedGeek @Dame_

And did someone rub blockchain on it in a way where I need a wallet to do anything? I also have questions...
