Small update, this is giving me the excuse i needed to look into ActivityPub. I'm rolling my own implementation from the ground up, though more as an exploration into ActivityPub and to experiment with UX.
I realized the beauty here is that i don't need to replace Lemmy, Kbin, etc. I can lean into them, and even if i don't gain traction (i probably don't want it anyway. Managing large projects are unfun), i still get to be part of the larger ecosystem.
Ie, why write a Client to Lemmy as you might with Reddit, when you can instead write a participating Server which also serves as a Client. Federation is neat like that.
Though i'm still unclear on a lot of steps with federation, so we'll see how this goes.
