While that's true of ActivityPub, the data format it uses (ActivityStreams, which a form of JSON) could be hosted on a static site separate from the HTML version people are reading, which would at least make the content reference-able on the ActivityPub federated network.
- StavrosK 8y agoYeah, that might be worth it. Do you know how easy it would be to output something like that?
- cjslep 8y agoYes, it's about medium effort if starting from scratch with no background knowledge. Mainly because I'm not sure there's any good existing tooling to convert articles to AS. And it wouldn't be complex to implement, but does require some solid time learning the vocabulary, which is intimidating.
- pmlnr 8y agoGood. Can you please point me at working implementation examples?
- jfreax 8y agoI also couldn't find a good tutorial, but another commenter here pointed to this blog post: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/ https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-bas... Maybe it's a good starting point?
- cjslep 8y agoThe specification itself is similar in practice (technically, it's JSON-LD and not AS. The latter is a subset of the former): JSON-LD: https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams.jsonld https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams.jsonld Human-readable: https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams
- older 8y agoW3C maintains a list of implementations [1]. Not sure how up to date it is though. [1] https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/tree/master/implementation-reports https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/tree/master/implement...
