@arteteco @zinat Its more than just a bot providing a feed to mastodon. It would make the account fully AP capable, that means replying to posts, following people, etc. you basically turn any site into something that is as fully capable (almost) as mastodon itself. In the sense that you will have much of the same ActivityPub functionality covered.
@freemo @zinat Ah, I understand the whole thing now, and it seems like a terrific idea. It would easily help spread the AP network.
Would it doable without any server involved if using a static website generator?
Something like a plugin that when the whole website is generated:
* checks what articles have already been submitted to the instance
* creates a link at the bottom at the new articles to something like /static/js/articlename.js and addcomment.js
* pushes the rss of the article to the fediverse instance
* retrieves the id of the toot/status
* creates the js file with the api call to embed it in the website, like the wp plugin does, without using an iframe https://github.com/ginsterbusch/mastodon-embed
* This would add some overhead to the website generation, but it has the benefit of not needing an external server.
@arteteco @zinat yup should be as easy as adding disqus for a static site!
