  How do you know if a random server implements a particular FEP?

    There is a convention of putting a FEDERATION.md file in the root of your project (there is a FEP about it but I can’t remember what it is, heh) which lists the FEPs your project implements.

    e.g. https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/FEDERATION.md

    There is no standardised API endpoint for discovering this info so basically you just need to lurk in all the dev spaces you can and watch what they’re talking about, stalk each other’s codeberg/github issue queues and PRs and just cope with the jank.

  Shit, that went well, I was expecting pushback. Should I make an issue for discussion, or is there one already. I don’t know if the object also needs an ID

    There is a discussion but it’s an email chain between myself, Lemmy, Mbin, NodeBB so not really out in the open.

    I’m thinking of using the normal OrderedCollection structure that AP has - https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-orderedcollection. An object of type ’OrderedCollection’ with an array of ‘items’.

      I think so? I guess a Like has to happen before an Unlike, would the collection have multiple possible activity types in it?

      While I have your ear, I don’t know how yet but I’d like it to be easier for devs to collaborate over AP for anything not involving security.

        Yes theoretically you could have any type in there but votes are the biggest inefficiency in the system so I’ve only implemented it for them.

        There are some nodebb forums that federate with us, which are intended for AP dev discussions - !technical-discussion@activitypub.space for example. Not very active. Also some Matrix channels, again not exactly humming. Everyone is pretty focused on their own projects, really.
