This is an informal guide to help new implementers get up to speed with the ActivityPub specification (published as a W3C Recommendation) and how to build projects with ActivityPub support.

What is ActivityPub?
ActivityPub is a family of protocols, data models, and architectures useful for building decentralized social media apps and services.

I’ve implemented groups in Tavern and would like feedback and comments. All of the group specific actor and activity behavior is documented in https://gitlab.com/ngerakines/tavern/-/blob/issue-21-groups/FEDERATION.md as well.
Groups share the same namespace as users and it is up to instance operators to moderate how that namespace is managed. For example, both @sneakerheads@groups.tavern.town, @sneakerheads-group@tavern.town, and @sneakerheads@tavern.town are all valid names. I’m considering ad…

Also asked about 8 potential sponsors for Hackathon-prizes for “challenges” …

Personally writing a proposal about “topic based subscription” for a session
together with SkoHub.
As Conf-Co-Coordinator just do not want to write multiple proposals, so :
Encouraging everyone to add a new topic for session or hackathon proposals
and watch out for awesome news
