#websub — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #websub, aggregated by home.social.

  1. @maffeis #ActivityPub is for federation whereas #micropub and #microsub are for interacting with your instance, so they are not really exclusive though.

    Micropub is already supported by tools like micro.blog, @ia Writer and such.

    Not sure if anyone has implemented it on top of an ActivityPub backend though.

    #Webmention, #WebSub and #Microformats would be the more direct #IndieWeb “competitor” to ActivityPub, but eg @snarfed.org and @pfefferle are both showing that the two can be bridged

  2. @benbrown @anildash #Microsub goes further by providing a server that maintains your subscription list, collects and parses posts (possibly triggered by #WebSub) and then providing an API for reader clients

  3. Things I know I'd want to use / open to contributing to:

    * a dedicated #ActivityPub vlogging platform (think single-user, multiple-channel/feed in likes of Vimeo, YouTube etc) with mobile clients

    * federated podcasting platform similar to simplecast.com with mobile clients and plugs to silos

    * a federated music scrobbling tool / option with clients

    * a general purpose social reader

    oh + all support nomadic identities (DiD), p2p file storage, #Microformats2, #Webmention, #WebSub
