This week on #ProFed: I connected #Tokodon to the test installation – using the #Mastodon API.

The client API strategy: Mastodon API first, #Friendica extensions where needed, custom only as a last resort. The goal: make existing clients work out of the box, and allow an easy path to full support.

Federation is also moving forward.

@cdonat I heard discussion about an ActivityPub β€žServer to Clientβ€œ protocol, but I am not to much involved in this. Didnyou hear or read about this? This could make things more interoperable on the app-level. Some people critiqued Mastodon for creating their own API (it’s what I read).

@Sascha

AFAIK work on the C2S protocol is happening. But looking at existing clients the Mastodon API just dominates the market. Therefore the fastest path to existing clients probably is supporting the Mastodon API.
