It's a really clean design, exactly how I would like to read content!
I'm new to this federation idea, curious how blog pages work in this world. Is there something of an open protocol for publishing/consuming content so that I can use any provider or client I like, or how does it work?
- riffic 5y agoPeople with Mastodon accounts for instance can follow accounts on your WriteFreely instance. This is powered by the ActivityPub protocol, a W3C recommendation.
- Kye 5y agoSystems that federate over ActivityPub (AP) produce JSON blobs that other systems choose how to present. For example: an AP blog might show a blog post and comments like a traditional blog, while Mastodon could show the same data as a toot and replies to it.
