celesteh Hello, I'm wondering which flat file CMSes have activitypub plugins that push posts out? There's one for wordpress, but i was hoping for something more lightweight.
#
nightpool[m] hm.... i'm trying to remember if a static site generator one exists
#
melody activitypub needs dynamic behavior so i'd be surprised if there were one that worked -- how would it even keep track of where to push?
#
melody in theory you might be able to design like, a minimal activitypub server that was hooked into the deploy cycle of a static site generator in such a way that it could detect all the changes and then compose them into a set of activities to send out, but that'd be a wild engineering challenge to solve a problem that is much more easily solved by not having everything be static
#
nightpool[m] the general idea is that you'd use an external service for pushing out the updates, kind of like how disqus does comments
#
nightpool[m] this is similar to how pubsubhubbub was originally structured.
#
nightpool[m] https://octodon.social/@cwebber/100368138697354408 has an example of what this might look like

Loqi [Christopher Lemmer Webber] @craigmaloney Aha, so this is an interesting topic! In fact we did plan for this possibility in ActivityPub!Here's how to do it: - Add an actor like: {"@id": "https://foo.example/blog/actor.jsonld", "inbox": "https://statichelper.example/foo-examp...

aaronpk I wrote a standalone activitypub server that can be triggered from a static site deploy

aaronpk It's barebones right now but it does work https://github.com/aaronpk/Nautilus

celesteh That looks really interesting. Thank you

lamuguo Regarding test.activitypub.rocks, I would like to ask how to use this? For example, if I start to write a fed-server. Can I have a test fed-server for testing? Similarly, is there a fed-client as well? Then, for such a test, it may include a series of activities, such as post / get / delete / ... Do we have such tool? It may be helpful for implementing.
