Tbh, yes, it's not.
I had long term goals to improve it but, as long term goals, especially when you're alone, isn't improving. And even more given how much manpower was throwed at it by its sponsor and it (personal opinion) went too bad to improve its codebase.
Regarding ActivityPub Servers. It's actually quite easy to build one -- but building one that is compatible with the current state of the fediverse is another story. Mastodon built on OStatus, then moved to AP but while keeping weird extensions and so on, complicating (a lot) all of it. There's an attempt at this on Bonfire[1] which is loosely a Pleroma fork (started at Moodle's MoodleNet, forked by their workers).
You'd have better luck building a "Mastodon" client (which would work with Pleroma's client API) than wasting your time working on AP S2S for Mastodon.

- olah_1 5y agoWow bonfire looks like what I wanted! > We're currently in the middle of a refactor to convert all components and templates from LiveView to Surface, which is a server-side rendering component library (built on top of Phoenix and LiveView) that inherits a lot of design patterns from popular JS framework like Vue.js and React, while being almost JavaScript-free compared to common SPAs.
