Remote Inbox Architecture

The Remote Inbox server deals with incoming activities, objects, etc, from other users..

The front-end can get the inbox (and other feeds') data from the Remote Inbox server.

(You'd probably want to store cached data from the Fediverse elsewhere from these two servers, as I've said before. But, that is a separate thread.)

Remote Inbox Architecture

This, the Remote Inbox Architecture, is an architecture for a Fediverse back-end server that I think could be useful.

Here is how it works — there are (at least) 2 servers involved: (1) the main back-end server, and (2) a remote inbox server.

The actor file on main back-end server "points" the inbox to the remote server.

It separates the user's content from the front-end related functionality
