Hey, thanks a lot!
I'm definitely open to it if that's where people hang out. Although I'm not familiar with ActivityPub/Mastodon myself, could you refer me to some articles I might read up on to get caught up?
My questions are:
could you refer me to some articles I might read up on to get caught up?
Here's a great list of resources from a development point of view: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-activitypub-development
Is the activityPub() method making a request every time it's called or is there a caching mechanism in the server/webfinger class?
It's cached for 3600 seconds (1 hour) by default. We could probably push that significantly longer. The cache uses the filesystem—is that what you use in production?
From what I understand ActivityPub is a generic protocol although we're displaying mastodon icon next to it, can we integrate any other platforms using the protocol?
Mastodon is by far the most recognizable. We could potentially use the ontologies
feature of the landrok package to identify the type of service associated with the handle. I would leave that for later, though, since the vast majority of folks are on mastodon.
Hey!
Thanks so much for the links. I looked at some of the resources but to be honest it feels very overwhelming and I will need at least couple days just to get a grasp of how this whole Mastodon/ActivityPub thing works to be able to maintain it
Although I'm definitely open to at least add Mastodon links to the profiles, is there a way to do that without the full server/webfinger implementation similar to how twitter and github links work now?
Also I agree about making the avatar generic and not tied to twitter, what about we just rename the variable to avatar_url so people can add any public link?
Hi there,
I started hacking on ActivityPub support for this project, but I wanted to check in before I finish it up. There are a couple of questions:
landrok/activitypub
to add true ActivityPub support, or would you rather not add another dependency and instead use a more naive approach that makes some assumptions rather than using the full webfinger/etc APIs?x_avatar_url
with a more generic function that can use the person's ActivityPub icon if they don't use Twitter/X?Here's an example of my
