Hi!
For the past ~2 months Iāve been working on my own implementation of an ActivityPub server, as a personal challenge. Itās finally come to the point where I could set up a public federation testing instance (https://testpilot.shinolabs.com/) which surprisingly just works.
While it doesnāt have a frontend yet (due to my severely lacking skills), Toki supports the Mastodon API set, allowing most fedi clients to connect to it.
Itās been a wild journey going from barely understanding ActivityPub and ActivityStreams to having something that actually federates and allows me to talk with the wider Fediverse network. Itās been something I wanted to do since at least 2018, but only now really took the steps to properly attempt it.
Iād love to hear any suggestions or potential bugs people can find (contributions are also welcome ^^)!
Cheers :)

Fediverse is a portmanteau of āfederationā and āuniverseā.

Nice, congratulations for completing a personal project. One day I also hope to complete a personal project.
What reference material did you use to build it? As in like the activitypub specification
Hi, thank you so much!!
For learning ActivityPub Iāve used a ton of resources actually, but the ones that were the most helpful to me were:
additionally
and a ton of code reading of other AP projects :)
Pona!
This is really cool! Congrats on bringing it to completion. I would love to do something similar one day š
Thank you!!
