Is there any chance you'd consider implementing this as a "generic" ActivityPub client? Instead of using Lemmy's API, you could query the AP endpoints directly.

I would love to! could you open an issue and elaborate more? like what's your use case and why not use it as it is (you can be surprised but i actually dont know much about activitypub)

[–] rglullis@communick.news 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The main reason is that I strongly believe that we need to move away from server-centric software for social media and to start working on a local-first application that can browse the social web "natively". I wrote a series of blog posts explaining the shortcomings of current AP server software, and how the current architecture will not be enough to achieve mainstream.

I've already developed a generic ActivityPub Server and I recently started exploring the client side as well.

I'm not really a developer or coder but that server setup of yours is exactly what I've been hoping to find to let me learn about all of it, thanks!

I don't know what you mean by "server setup of yours", but I'm glad to help. :)
