I was looking for a Java library implementing the ActivityPub protocol(s) but found none :)
#
xkr47
oh well now I'm trying to write something simple in Ceylon language instead :)
#
xkr47
project probably will die in 30 minutes when I need to go to sleep ;)
#
saranix
lol keep nibbling at it, you'll get something workable eventually. and then huzzah
#
xkr47
buut I am actually interested in trying out new ideas with regards to activitypub
#
xkr47
like how to utilize it in coding, development, tracking
#
saranix
yeah very promissing area
#
xkr47
so I need some simple thing to get started
#
xkr47
say something that exposes everything said here over activitypub ;----D
#
xkr47
(ok just kidding :)
#
saranix
actually surprised no one did it yet
#
xkr47
anyway I thought a very simple yet useful activitypub server would simply expose directories & files as actors & "toots" if you like it
#
saranix
actually I know why. When I brought up using AP with chat usecase people started throwing tomatoes at me

Interesting that mastodon and pleroma don't rate limit actions like remote follow
#
puckipedia
define remote follow?
#
dansup
well even just follow (local or remote)

even though 26k is a lot globally, it's not a ton of follows on any individual instance
#
dansup
True, but imagine if someone signed up on your instance and followed 26k profiles and tooted frequently. Thats a lot of requests
#
nightpool[m]
if they're doing it with a bot, that's rate limited in our normal way
#
dansup
ah ok
