Hi there, are there any plans to integrate the new W3C acitivtypub protocol? [https://www.activitypub.rocks](https://www.activitypub.rocks)
It features server-server communication to share user activities and integrate content to an federated network. Using this protocol, all insctance can work together which would result in an common knowledge base as stackoverflow, but selfhosted! This also includes 3rd party socialnetworks as Mastodon, so discourse QAs will integrated seaminglessly and could be discussed also by external sites.
Any opinions?
