@tom check if this one I wrote can be of use:
https://github.com/mariusor/oni
PS: Any feedback about setting it up and configuring it for your use case will be appreciated, either here, or on github/mailing list.
@mariusor thanks! (Looks like I had already starred this one awhile ago haha) I'll check it out and see if it's what I'm looking for

@tom if it doesn't work out I'd also be interested in learning why not. :D

@tom I'm slowly working on one, but it's completely unpaid work.

@mariusor I got it running w/o many issues (maybe I missed it but I didn't see any wiki pages on building Box? I got that working as well regardless)
Is there an active issue w/ fetching oni content in Mastodon? I can't seem to grab my user or any statuses from my server or from activitypub.academy. I also tried fetching your posts (because it sounded like it at least worked last year, https://metalhead.club/@mariusor/113708953874760675) but that didn't work either so maybe I'm missing something.

@thisismissem is that related to the stuff you were doing w/ PDSes a few weeks ago or are those separate projects?

mariusor@metalhead.club is there a public instance available?

@tom I see others are pointing you in a similar direction, but funnily enough I tinkered with Social Web's ap-component test instance this afternoon!
Look at the sample client "acct-handler", too. That's what I tried today.

@tom yeah, activitypds is the research project name, but there's a bunch of upstream work in Fedify to enable C2S in Fedify, and then also to enable reusing the Fedify vocabularies (they take JSON-LD and convert into classes that Fedify understands, and handles serialisation to JSON-LD)

@tom basically the things I'm trying to solve in ActivityPDS are:
- an OAuth profile (based on AT Proto's OAuth profile)
- webfinger & DIDs & Handles
- what should a "PDS" do in the context of ActivityPub C2S, how much logic does it implement, or is it just a simple pipe? -

@evan oh yeah this should be perfect

@tom I can also send you an invite code.
There's a chapter on the social API in the ActivityPub book.

@evan I signed up to get notified for the print edition a few months ago, still prefer actually holding physical books haha

@tom I basically follow actors and that's how seeing posts by others in your /inbox works.
The frontend loads stuff directly through JavaScript fetch and needs all the mechanisms of that to work (and I imagine what you see might be things failing to load due to CORS rules being too restrictive on remote Mastodon instances)
I am not aware of any issues with receiving activities though, and in this process the objects themselves should be fully dereferenced to local copies.
I'll add a note about BOX compilation. Thanx.

@tom looking at the post of mine you linked, I realize you're probably thinking of regular object discovery, and there isn't any mechanism for it yet, or for viewing remote objects that haven't reached your inbox.
-
@julian yes, two of them:
https://rattlehead.bruta.link < where a bot posts daily metal releases scraped from the internet
https://marius.federated.id < where I write a bit about stuff and play with more expressive ActivityPub objects.

@mariusor sorry I meant the reverse behavior, viewing Oni users/activities from my mastodon instance (or from mastodon.social) not viewing remote activities from oni
I.e. searching for https://marius.federated.id/outbox/1725894299052/object doesn't pull up the object in mastodon (and searching for the user doesn't bring that up either)

@mariusor actually nevermind ignore me, searching for your federated id user seems to work so I must have something wrong with my network configuration, I'll do some debugging later

@hongminhee @julian I got confused by Julian's mention of nodebb helper library.
-
@sirber83@fosstodon.org @julian@activitypub.space Thanks! You might not have been able to find it because you were searching for “JavaScript” instead of “TypeScript.” What do you mean by “standalone” by the way? Fedify is typically used in together with with other web frameworks like Express or Next.js.

La piattaforma @mirlo, è una piattaforma molto simile a bandcamp che sta crescendo dal basso. Ha ottenuto 40000 euro per sviluppare la sua decentralizzazione.

Mirlo platform, a platform very similar to Bandcamp which is growing from the bottom up. It has obtained €40,000 to develop its decentralization.

@julian mmm c'set une marque de commerce, je vais devoir trouver un autre nom!

@julian it will take time, as I do this part time, and there's a lot to do! having this lib will suerly help!
I made a repo here:
-
sirber83@fosstodon.org following along. Excited to see how it shapes up!
-
@julian I plan to do a photo app, like flickr but federated. I'm not very fond of pixelfed, which is half broken.
-
sirber83@fosstodon.org yes it's an entire framework, which may or may not be what you're looking for.
If you're looking for more low level helpers for http signing and such, the NodeBB libs could be more of use.
