Connect podship to social-federation

Connect podship to the diaspora federation.

TODO: Describe what should be made to connect podship to diaspora protocol using social-federation.

Hey,

Basically, firstly, social-federation is not a protocol, it's a library currently supporting a subset of the Diaspora protocol. Hopefully at some point it will support everything - adoption would help and of course help is welcome!

Currently supported is:

• Status messages
• Likes
• Comments
• Photos (not really tested though!)

Participation and relayed payloads are not supported, and neither are messages related to following, aspects, etc. Hopefully at some point not too far in the future.

Discovery works, so you can expose your users profiles so that they are seen properly from other nodes.

I'd start with the discovery, that is the most important stuff. See Socialhome federate module for some example views that are needed - though really you need to understand Diaspora protocol a bit as social-federation doesn't have any documentation ;) See this document for an overview.

@jaywink I wish to help, but how I could understand the diaspora protocol? Thanks.

You mean, how to test it or the protocol by itself? I think @jaywink just pointed out this document for an overview.
