ActivityPub : Mastodon :: SMTP : postfix

  Does this mean, I can use any AP implementation to federate with Mastodon servers?
  • Kye 4y ago
    As long as it implements the same activities. They often do.

    Roughly yes, though you'll want one that supports the same activity types (Mastodon mostly uses "Note") or it won't make much sense :)

      How many types are there and how prevalent are they? I read some websites about "host your own server" and some were talking explicitly about Mastodon and some were like "let's do selfhostes microblogging with this AP server" And I asked myself, if I could use AP servers to follow people and let them follow me when they're on a public Mastodon instance.

    Yes, abet Mastodon has some non-standard extensions. But basically yes.
