Upcoming Fedify 0.8.0 release: CLI toolchain

An upcoming Fedify release will feature a CLI toolchain for testing and debugging your ActivityPub app. Currently, the fedify command consists of two subcommands:

fedify lookup

The fedify lookup command is used to look up an ActivityPub object by its URL or an actor by its handle.

Here’s a demo of it:
