In response to Bray’s toot, Evan Prodromou — one of the creators of ActivityPub, who is currently writing an O’Reilly book about the protocol — noted that this “is also the argument for using the ActivityPub API.” He described the API as “an open, extensible API that can handle any kind of activity type — not...
“ActivityPub’s API is how client applications interact with the data on a user’s main account server. It lets the user read data on the same or other servers, and it lets them create activities and other kinds of objects on that server that get shared (under the user’s control) with the rest of the world.”
I can't see how Apub's C2S API can realistically be implemented. It's fairly light on details and if I'm understanding it correctly the only standard way to get activity from the server is to pull from an actor's inbox, which has to be an OrderedCollection of all the activity the actor has received (likes, notifications, posts, the lot). This shifts a lot of the work to clients which, apart from being being very classist, is very limiting for implementations.
skyRant has been a long ride. The project initially started with me, joewilliams007, creating a devRant client for watches running wear-os, also known as watchRant, available in the PlayStore and on GitHub....
Currently the only official API I could find is this one. It doesn't say anything about posting and it's calling threads "entries" (I assume it was renamed before I got here)....
#ActivityPub has a standard client API called the Client-to-Server API (C2S). You could start reading up on that and maybe even prototype something to convince the devs to implement it. The C2S would enable apps that work with any compliant fediverse service
