Wrote up a blog post with my initial ideas and stance on writing an ActivityPub/Fediverse server: https://aeracode.org/2022/11/14/takahe-new-server/

I also have thoughts on federation, UX, scaling, and what any successful medium-scale ecosystem might look like, more to come there.

Takahē: A New ActivityPub Server - Aeracode

@andrew @stevelord This looks really neat. I’m at the beginning stages of thinking about some ActivityPub projects (not so much like Takahē/Mastodon, more like bots/agents), and I’m having a hard time getting the federation flows right. I’m doing it from scratch; no libraries. Do you happen to have things like example ActicityPub conversations you used, or similar notes you’d be willing to share?
@andrew @stevelord Of course, I’ll likely end up with my own “normal” instance soon enough anyway, and I have a better shot reading Takahē than Mastodon. Maybe I should just install it and start pulling it apart. :-)
