ActivityPub Plugin

Right, so here’s what we have planned for the plugin for the next 2-3 months:

  • improve the plugin’s performance (with no user-facing changes)
  • add better UI elements to an ActivityPub-enabled category in Discourse
    • this means including more details about the category’s ActivityPub stats, as well as an easier flow for users wanting to follow the category in their ActivityPub client
  • allow Discourse categories to follow external actors
    • this would enable ActivityPub content to be synced to a Discourse category, this includes DIscourse-to-Discourse syncing via ActivityPub, i.e. a category in Discourse site A can follow a category in Discourse site B (where both sites have the plugin enabled and configured as appropriate)
  • bug fixes and improvements to existing functionality
    • handling avatar sync issues and edits of AP-enabled posts by other users (staff, etc.)
    • if possible, addressing current limitations to author changes and wikis
