Interesting. Thanks for the effort! How good is the integration with other ActivityPub-based services? Could I see timeline of users in Pixelfed from other services? Is it going to be possible?

  Right now federation is turned off because the messaging system isn't implemented. ( Or something like that, see here: https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/100131842885957076 https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/100131842885957076 )

    "the inbox" refers to a HTTP endpoint required by the activitypub spec. He's just saying that pixelfed can't receive messages from other AP instances, so he disabled it sending messages to other AP instances too, to avoid the assymetry.

      Oops, looks like I'm not familiar with ActivityPub :)

  It just came online for the beta yesterday so there's a lot to do! Check out https://github.com/dansup/pixelfed/issues https://github.com/dansup/pixelfed/issues

  The UI looks like a 1:1 copy of Instagram, including the post stamp sized images which are supposed to be the main content. Also the Website has no information on it what it does and why I might want to join. It only says that it uses some specific technology but doesn't tell me why I should care about that technology.

This might be OT but how do I develop ActivityPub server-side federation streams? Is there any easily debuggable environment where I can view if my formats are correct?

  Boy, that's the million dollar AP question lately. We need a cohesive group of smart people to get it organized and make it more adoptable. It is a giant pain in the ass to familiarize with AP at first.

    What? I spent some time reading AP spec then analyzing what Mastodon is sending and had a server federated in a couple of hours (also subscribed to a swarm of fediverse scanning bots ). The protocol is super simple. JSON with HTTP signatures.
