@art10080 An alternative to Instagram that uses ActivityPub for federation.

@pixelfed if it works with Pleroma it probably works with Hubzilla already.

**pixelfed** @pixelfed · Jun 25, 2018, 03:18

@kaniini I haven't tested against Hubzilla yet but I appreciate the heads up!

@kaniini @pixelfed afaik HubZilla only supports ActivityPub via addon (PubCrawl) officially described as „An unapologetically non-compliant ActivityPub Protocol implemention”…

@pixelfed add my project @cloutstream as WIP. I'm juggling the initial build of the codebase while filling out issues in gitlab 😃

@pixelfed How are you going to federate with GS if it doesn't use AP?

**pixelfed** @pixelfed · Jun 25, 2018, 04:10

**pixelfed** @pixelfed · Jun 25, 2018, 04:10

@pybyte I am writing a GS AP plugin.

Why isn't there Friendica on the list?

**Hyp☀️li🌷e Pet🌸van (he/him)** @hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com · Jun 25, 2018, 05:21

Because Friendica doesn't support ActivityPub yet.

@hoergen @pixelfed #Friendica founders moved on to write its successor, #Hubzilla a few years ago too.

@PixelFed @dansup I’m happy to test federation to Hubzilla instances with you. I’m talking to you from my instance right now, so if you stick to AP standards, our standard AP plugin should work.

...Of course we’d love a Zot protocol method for richer interoperability, but stick to the big fish first, then maybe work with @Hubzilla Development on supporting fully. :thumbsup_tone3: :thumbsup_tone3:

@pixelfed
Why not Owncloud support also?

**saxnot** @saxnot@chaos.social · Jun 25, 2018, 07:08

**saxnot** @saxnot@chaos.social · Jun 25, 2018, 07:08

@selea @pixelfed ownCloud and NextCloud doesn't use ActivityPub AFAIK.

Of course, federating with as many services as possible is awesome.

**selea** @selea@social.linux.pizza · Jun 25, 2018, 07:09

**selea** @selea@social.linux.pizza · Jun 25, 2018, 07:09

@saxnot @pixelfed
Yeah I thought that too, but Nextcloud was on the list so Owncloud should be there too IMO

**saxnot** @saxnot@chaos.social · Jun 25, 2018, 07:21

**saxnot** @saxnot@chaos.social · Jun 25, 2018, 07:21

@selea @pixelfed huh, you're right

weird.

Guess the list is fairly imcomplete. Maybe it makes more sense to talk about standard compatibility instead of clients.

**Not Claes Wallin** @notclacke@pleroma.soykaf.com · Jun 25, 2018, 14:33

@selea @pixelfed @saxnot NextCloud is the one that has implemented AP for some of its activities. Doesn't have full microblogging though, and most likely not Masto compatible at this point.

@pixelfed I'd love to see a blog post about the differences between all the AP servers and the challenges there, as in theory they should all just use the same protocol (maybe different message types).

@schmittlauch @pixelfed

Same. I'd love to read about the weird quirks that make federation support not 100% interchangeable

@pixelfed Well, you'll have to wait for some of the others before there's anything you can do on PixelFed side to federate with them. :-)

@pixelfed Mastodon federation is not deployed yet, or is it? (just checking if I'm having problems or not)

**~norwin** @norwin@mastodon.art · Jun 25, 2018, 16:54

**~norwin** @norwin@mastodon.art · Jun 25, 2018, 16:54

@pixelfed
shouldn't federation work with all activitypub services, when one is already working? 🤔 or is AP not that much of a standard as it claims to be? am I missing something?

**pixelfed** @pixelfed · Jun 25, 2018, 17:42

**pixelfed** @pixelfed · Jun 25, 2018, 17:42

@norwin Not every service implements AP the same way. PeerTube uses a different object type than Mastodon/Pleroma for example.

**Hyp☀️li🌷e Pet🌸van (he/him)** @hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com · Jun 25, 2018, 17:52

AP indeed isn't a rigid standard, which allows custom behaviors at the cost of easy interoperability.

**~norwin** @norwin@mastodon.art · Jun 25, 2018, 18:42

**~norwin** @norwin@mastodon.art · Jun 25, 2018, 18:42

@hypolite
@pixelfed
thats weird for a standard whose top goal is interop, but it seems to work fine so far.
thanks for the explanation!

**Harald Eilertsen** @harald@hub.volse.no · Jun 25, 2018, 17:22

Check the post by @Dennis Schubert about ActivityPub for a bit of background on how it compares to a working standard. If I understand it correctly it is more akin to a framework and a vocabulary for social protocols than a fully baked standard.
