Is there an alternative for developing ActivityPub software in Go?#
For alternatives in Golang you might check the fediverse curated delightful lists at:

Regarding go-fed at least the activitypub implementation is still in use by GoToSocial, as a fork on codeberg:
Another fork of this lib is I think still used by WriteFreely:

Hello! I originally tried go-fed two separate times. Both times I ran into dealbreakers that prevented me from moving forward. To be fair, these were most likely because of my own inexperience with ActivityPub.
I also looked into go-ap which was much better and currently being developed. I’d recommend that, or Hannibal - the library that I eventually built for myself.
I made Hannibal because it helped me to work through ActivityPub on my own terms. I’m sure I could adhere to the standards more rigorously – especially around JSON-LD. But, it integrates really nicely with my code, and helps me interact with the Fediverse in a configurable, pluggable way.
If you’d like to check out Hannibal, I’m happy to walk you through it. Send me a DM and we could work out a time to videoconference. We’d all benefit to work together on a common library, and I’d love to help support you building your ActivityPub app.

My apologies, due to circumstances I no longer actively develop go-fed.
