@cypherpunks I see some acid comments there, but I'm really glad to see this happening! I'm definitely not up to writing something like this from scratch, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that I could contribute improvements later.

Being able to follow my own discourse instances from mastodon and boost then directly will be an awesome start. And there's lots of room to grow the integration over time.

I agree. While the initial implementation proposal is hardly better than an RSS feed bot on Mastodon, it does lay the groundwork for true ActivityPub federation it seems. Discourse is a large complex software; Federation will not happen over night.
