I've built an #ActivityPub integration for my blog. Likes, boosts and replies are also shown below blog posts. Together with #webmention it serves as the comment/feedback mechanism for my blog.

The source is public and open if anyone's interested. https://github.com/H4kor/owl-blogs

What is considered best practice when shutting down an #ActivityPub service? The services itself is not used by anyone, but still received a constant stream of activities for deleted users.

owl-blogs 0.3.2

I've worked on some smaller features and improvements for owl-blogs.

Main Features:

• Lists and Tags now have RSS Feeds.
• Nicer 404 Pages

For development I took the time to setup the "end-to-end" tests using go test instead of the previous pytest setup. This vastly simplifies testing and its much quicker.

To test #ActivityPub functionality I use a small mock server, which content can be controlled during testing.

Some crawlers try to use the (non-existing) #Mastodon API of my blog, since my blog supports #ActivityPub.

Most don't send a User-Agent or use the generic user-agent of the library they use.

"/api/nodeinfo"
"/api/v1/config"
"/api/v1/directory?limit=1"
"/api/v1/instance"
"/api/v1/instance/activity"
"/api/v1/instance/domain_blocks"
"/api/v1/instance/peers"
"/api/v1/streaming/public"
"/api/v1/timelines/public?limit=100"
"/api/v1/timelines/public?limit=40"
"/api/v3/federated_instances"

Re: Commenting via Mastodon

A nice and simple solution to add comments to your blog.

I've decided to go the bit more complicated route and added #ActivityPub support to my blog directly. Any interaction will show up below the posts. However this requires a backend and will not work with a static site generator.

Next Milestone for #ActivityPub support in owl-blogs: being able to play fedi-games :D

#

When using go-ap/jsonld, to extend the context by a term use:

jsonld.WithContext(
	jsonld.Context{
		{IRI: jsonld.IRI(vocab.ActivityBaseURI)},
		{Term: jsonld.Term("Hashtag"), IRI: jsonld.IRI("https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Hashtag")},
	},
)

Instead of:

var ApEncoder = jsonld.WithContext(
	jsonld.IRI(vocab.ActivityBaseURI),
	jsonld.Context{
		{Term: jsonld.Term("Hashtag"), IRI: jsonld.IRI("https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Hashtag")},
	},
)

The latter ignores the terms.

My blog now (hopefully) supports #hashtags on #ActivityPub. Please like this post if you found this via a hashtag.
