Whenever someone announces to "bring" something "to the Fediverse", chances are that Friendica has actually had it since 2010, for five and a half years longer than Mastodon has been around.
For example, just about everyone on Mastodon is fully convinced that Eugen Rochko has brought quote-posts to the Fediverse this year. That's because next to nobody on Mastodon knows that Friendica has been able to quote-post practically everything in the Fediverse, including Mastodon toots, for 15 years now.
And if Friendica doesn't have it, chances are still that Hubzilla has it, and that Hubzilla has probably had it for longer than Mastodon has been around, too.
For example, private messages that are actually private. Mastodon doesn't have them because the "privacy" of Mastodon DMs is only "guaranteed" by limiting whom a DM is sent to. Hubzilla does have them and has had them since 2012, since it was still named Red. How? Because Hubzilla also limits who is permitted to see a DM.
Oh, and Hubzilla even offers optional encryption on top of that.
Or how about server-independent identity? Everyone still waiting for Bluesky to finally be the pioneer who invents this and implements it for the first time? LOL! Once again, Hubzilla has had this since 2012. Not a vague concept, not an unstable proof-of-concept, but daily-driven by production-grade channels on production-grade servers. (streams) has it, too, inherited from Hubzilla through a whole number of forks. Forte has it, too, and Forte is the first and, so far, only Fediverse server software that uses ActivityPub for nomadic identity.
Now I'm waiting for someone to announce that something will "bring" actual groups "to the Fediverse". A feature that was actually introduced to the Fediverse by StatusNet in 2008, and that's also available on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte. Not to mention that the very principle of the Threadiverse (Lemmy, the remains of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) is based on groups.
This is what happens when you think that the feature set of the whole Fediverse is the feature set of Mastodon and maybe Pixelfed because that's all you know.
Speaking of Mastodon: Just because it's being "brought to the Fediverse", doesn't mean it'll be adopted by Mastodon.

That was good! 😂 -

@jupiter_rowland I do wish Friendica wasn't the only one with a feed reader, as Friendica is overkill for my needs most days.@🌴 Seph 💭 👾 Fun fact: Hubzilla (which my post and this comment come from) has a feed reader, too. But Hubzilla is the most powerful and feature-rich Fediverse server software out there. So if Friendica is overkill for you already...

@by_caballero thanks, I’ll have a look!
-
@django https://codeberg.org/socialweb.coop/activitypub-testing this could easily be forked as a starting point
-
@mleduc @saerdnaer @xwikiorg it was amazing when it was alive! Now there is https://ibis.wiki for federated wiki software currently
-
@django They are currently no ActivityPub C2S tests in FediTest. No reason why they could not be added, though, other than the time it takes.
Also, see https://feditest.org/contrib/results/
-
@saerdnaer @liaizon at @xwikiorg we did an activitypub extension https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ActivityPub%20Application/ for #xwiki, sadly it is not working anymore with other actors of the fediverse and we don't have the bandwidth to revive the extension. But it proved that it was technically possible.

Random #fosdem notes. Met a nice dev from @ente #ente with whom I discussed a subtle bug on GitHub a few weeks ago (thanks for the now released fix!). Also met @liaizon. Thanks for reaching out; it's always cool to discuss the integration #activitypub in wikis!
-
@j12t digging around l see that there are some some tests relating to client/server relationship
This is all I could find though, is there any documentation of which tests are performed? Or does it follow what the original test suite did?
