My blog's ActivityPub system is both pushing content out (similar to, but not quite the same as, RSS) and accepts responses as comments (nothing like RSS).
(My blog's currently down due to too much unrelated tinkering).
- josteink 7y agoSo in summary: RSS is simple, mature and works. ActivityPub is still experimental, and you may not even need it.
- cjslep 7y agoI don't understand how your conclusions were reached from my post. My blog's content is natively shown inline with other content on Pleroma. To a Pleroma user, it and responses seem like all other native posts and interactions. They can click its ID to go through to my original blog. There, everyone sees my blog and its style, as well as the same responses as native comments. Back on Pleroma, those users can boost it and share it with others (their followers). Virality achieved. No further engineering needed from me to enable that. That's federated social networking. Imagine writing a YouTube comment from Twitter's interface and your Twitter account. In this case, my blog's content -- not just links -- natively pops up in followers' feeds when I publish something. And since ActivityPub is built on and compatible with RDF, this could be extended to all sorts of domains and interactions.

Oh good, I'm not the only one with a broken blog:) I discovered recently that while my blog is up, I didn't have source files that would generate the site as it exists on the server. Nice to know other people have similar things going on:)
