Not only is it exciting that they're adding ActivityPub support, but its great that they're basing their implementation off of Lemmy. Up til now, most implementations have been from scratch and implement federation after the project has gotten up and running and then do federation testing. That leads to different assumptions about models/flows and inconsistencies and hacks to get it working. Working off of another implementation's federation guide will mean less hacks but still leave room for impl-specific features and workflows.

@LemmyDev is truly contributing to evolve the #Fediverse. They take care to craft good documentation, have created a separate #Rust project for #ActivityPub, are participating in the #SocialHub developer community, and contributing to the #FEP process.

E.g. thanks to #Lemmy we have standardization for support of AP Groups, for instance.

In other words, they lead by example :)

I encourage any fedi dev to do the same..
