It's been a fun ride, but I think I've tired of blogging about ActivityPub. For now. (Note that I'm not yet giving up on using AP.)
I collected everything I possibly could about how things work out here in the real federation in one final post. Hopefully it is of some use to new implementors or those just curious about the way things work.

@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz oh, heh, there's a topic I overlooked. At the present time, there are no AP "clients". Fedilab, tusky, etc. are all mastodon clients (and anything else that implements the mastoAPI). Everything like mastodon, pleroma, is an AP server. Honk is a server implementation with a simple web interface.
I'll find a place to write this down, I think it's pretty important.

@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz nah, AP is fine for my purposes. And it's where "the people" are.
I do think there's a place for "private" social networks, more like diaspora or zot, but my immediate interests are more public information sharing, and less personal.

@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz yup, I'm pretty interested. The plan is to be about a day behind other implementations so I can see what they do, but not too much slower than that.

@horia@bsd.network honk dev is certainly slowing down, as I think we're approaching the finish line, but even so, there's some bug or tiny fix to make almost every day. There's not much more that I need out of it.
