  It’s the complete opposite of that.

  “Use ActivityPub directly for interacting with the social web graph” is the same as saying “Use HTTP and HTML directly to interact with the world wide web”.

  The reason we don’t see different websites using different versions of HTTP, or that someone can open a HTML document on pretty much website and read its contents is because we are building the application on top of the protocol layer.

    But ActivityPud is very barebones so you will need to implement a lot of features. In doing so you are effectively creating a new Lemmy.

      Indeed, I am. But to be perfectly honest, I’m doing a lot less work that I original thought in the server side, and when I get to start working on Mastodon compatibility, I will probably just change the internal implementation of mastodon’s js sdk.

        Right but you understand how this makes fragmentation worse right?
