Supporting AP Client>Server API

Open strypey opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I can't find a link now, but I remember reading that Pleroma is implementing the ActivityPub server>client API, as published in the AP spec? Would it take a huge overhaul of the Pinafore codebase to support that as well as the bespoke Mastodon API? I presume that would make it easier to make Pinafore compatible with a wider range of fediverse back-ends in the future. There was a bit of discussion about the C2S API on the SocialHub AP forum.

I haven't looked into the API, but yeah, I assume it would require a big overhaul.

I'm a fan of using standards in general, but it seems like the Mastodon API is kind of the de-facto standard right now. If there were a client that used the standard API as its only API, then I think it would be more interesting to implement support for that in Pinafore.
