Yeah, I think this is just an ActivityPub server that supports the Mastodon extensions, right? I think we should embrace the fact that the federated world can be diverse, rather than just call everything "Mastodon"
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoMastodon has it's own API. It basically offers a very limited ActivityPub API too, but it's own API is very different. And it's a very slim ActivityPub inplementation. For example, I don't think you can do basic things like get an individual post in ActivityPub. This should be easy simple json-ld to get but it's just 404. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#retrieving-objects https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#retrieving-objects
- colatkinson 3y agoMastodon for sure supports fetching individual posts over ActivityPub. For example: curl -L -H 'accept: application/activity+json' 'https://mastodon.social/users/Gargron/statuses/18614983' It does have a bunch of stuff that isn't federated though, such as Like counts/collections. And of course it only implements the server-to-server (S2S) part of AP, not the client-to-server (C2S) part.
