Hmm, has anyone made an #activitypub compatible server for play-by-post RPGs?

  • @badtuple I've debated making something that does that, but haven't ever pulled the trigger on it. I don't know of any other projects in this regard, but projects like NodeBB (and the threadiverse more generally) have done interesting work that could be adapted.

  • Hmm, has anyone made an compatible server for play-by-post RPGs? That way people can follow along if they want, people could run their own server if they wished, but mainly as an alternative to discord which is where so many modern pbp games are hosted.

  • @FinchHaven Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it.

  • @FinchHaven I am second guessing my choice of WordPress. I have been reading where people say one post or share from someone with a lot of followers will bring down your site each time... I am hoping, although some of the reading was recent, that devs have fixed it since then.

    I am confident that the issues I am having is more towards my current, default WordPress configuration and not network related or even WordPress ActivityPub's fault.

    Good luck with it

    Those were just my first, easiest thoughts

    Dropped out of network troubleshooting a good long while ago...

  • @FinchHaven Thanks. I changed the wording to the post. I just started troubleshooting the issue this morning and did a few things until I can break it down later overnight and troubleshoot more.

    I added caching and going to add persistent object caching soon. I also notice php had low memory permissions so it was bottoming out quickly. I fixed that.

    The WordPress instance sat idle until mid-February which explains why the jump is Latency.

    I'm hosting on a VPS server through Namecheap at this time. Ubuntu 22.04, 12 GB ram, 8 CPU cores.

    Also, to look at your instance on Fediverse Observer, your Latency more than doubled between January 2025 and February 2025, from 131.97 to 473-490 ms, and hit a peak of 757 ms on Jan 2026

    Most recently: 538 ms @ Mar 2026

    "Recently, when I post the new post at 9PM est, it has taken 15 minutes or longer for all instances on the to get it ... why is because my enabled site is getting due to the sheer number of instances trying to communicate with us when the game goes out."

    I often check for details when I see posts like this, in the off-hand chance I might learn something

    You seem to be on a single-user host via Namecheap

    Assuming you're posting using TCP/IP, each packet you send out to the Fediverse requires an ACK packet in return before it continues, and most transactions involve scores of packets

    Have you used something like Wireshark to look at exactly what you're sending out and receiving?

    I doubt you're being DDoSsed so much as your very small instance is suddenly talking to tens of thousands of other instances, each one of which is trying to talk back to you all at once

    Shorter: the Internet is not instantaneous

    @davew @pfefferle Ha! Yeah, it's a mind bender alright!At least the Spam aspect shouldn't be a concern with all the back-and-forth to even allow quote posts.The way I look at it is integrating an ActivityPub concept with a blogging concept that's already familiar to WP users.

    RE: https://colours.bots.edent.tel/posts/68db167a-0f16-f630-b7bd-f9aaad3beb7c.jsonHey you! Would you like to learn how #ActivityPub works?I have a *single-file* ActivityPub server which can be used to run bots.It supports quotes, mentions, hashtags, and most features of the modern #Fediverse. You can play around by uploading one PHP file and one .htaccess file to your website.Get started at:https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/
