Hi, I'm Robbie! 📖🐝  

Alright #ActivityPub folks, I really need some #help.

I'm trying to get an extremely basic AP setup going where people can follow a single account on a server and get automatically-generated updates when actions are performed. Specifically, I want to process followers and send a post to followers when someone adds a book to or removes one from Little Library. It's pretty much 100% server to server with very little client input beyond prompting the server to post.

So far, I have an outbox and a way to view posts. I'm trying to get that set up so I can start researching what I receive from a Mastodon follow request in order to learn what data to save and send Create activities to. But when I search for a specific post from Mastodon, it errors out with a 503 error from the Masto server...

Here is the folder of the repo with my implementation so far:
github.com/Alamantus/little-li

And here is my (temporary) live AP actor endpoint with a piece of live data:
ap.library.alamantus.com/activ

Thanks in advance!

The Blender #peertube instance has been updated to the latest version which now means it federates again, yeah!!

DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW IT

@blender

THIS IS THE SMALLEST THING WE CAN DO to show them that they should support alternatives!

There's been a much more activity in the comments, and follows. YOU'RE AWESOME!

Promote it, boost the videos so others know it exists, and let them know on official channels (blender.today, blenderartists.org etc.) that it's a great idea.

PLEASE BOOST
