It was a bit +annoying to setup (just a few docker containers and proxy shenanigans), but hey it works now! +The main gripe I currently have with activity pub so far is the lack of discovery and reading older events. + +Currently you can only search for things that you are directly federated with. So for example, my server is federated with `lgbt.tech`, so I can search for things on there. Also I cant see older posts. If I go to anyone I follow, I can only see posts since I started federating with them. Any older posts require me to go to their mastodon (or anything that supports activity pub) instance. + +A cool thing though that ive noticed is that activity pub allows federation outside mastodon. So far Ive only seen lemmy accounts, but I find that cool. + +#### Long way to go + +Overall, I think activity pub as a protocol has a long way to go. There are some things I wish where implemented, mainly things that matrix has. But overall its really cool, and Im going to continue to use it for the foreseeable future. + +Cheers! |
