#activitypub is what Mastodon is based on. I'm looking at the W3C standards.
Are there blogs/websites that are based on this? Not just social networks?
I've heard of #bookwyrm but anything else?
I'm basically wanting to create a blog and trying to figure out where it can be hosted and based on ActivityPub.
If anyone knows where to start please send links.
And then I find how @Gargron is using Github to host his blog.
Full circle. It's been staring at me in the face.
Guess I'll take the three day weekend to figure this out.
@kisharrington @jkb @Gargron curious as to what you're after...
https://fediverse.party/ has a good display of other things available, misskey for instance. But you can also hugely increase post length and add markdown to a mastodon instance and use that to make "blog posts".
Then other people have a static HTML blog system (like what you might host on GitHub), and make posts using mastodon each time to announce and link to their blog posts. Alternatively I believe there are RSS->Mastodon bots that could automatically toot your new posts. The benefit of this setup, in my mind, is that static HTML is so simple very little can go wrong. Whereas an ActivityPub server is comparably complex. So any trouble you have on the ActivityPub or bot side stays where it is and doesn't spread.
@finity @kisharrington @Gargron I'm looking as to where do I host the blog and make it a Fediverse citizen.
I don't want to run a server out of my home. I have namecheap and my own domain already.
@finity @jkb @Gargron Ah cool. Static HTML -> RSS -> Mastodon sounds like a great approach to me. Thanks!
