What would it take for HN to become ActivityPub compatible? I do not foresee this happening. The moderation and voting would require a significant level of trust of the other instances, admins and moderators. Being associated with other multi-media sites introduces legal risks I would be surprised if a VC was willing to take on. Assuming you mean a bi-directional integration into ActivityPub That said one could run something like HN and moderate it independently. Maybe Postmill [1a][1b]. There are other sites that ingest data from HN's API [2] for search, statistical analytics, etc... Something similar could probably be done that would be ingested read-only into ActivityPub from another site but I would be quite surprised to see this site implement ActivityPub directly. I don't know what the API rate limits are for this site or if Mastodon could operate within them.
