Hi.

My mastodon instance is shutting down and I am looking for alternatives.
Does this software support activitypub clients, like mobile apps and so on?
Right now I am using fedilab on Android and toot on CLI, but I guess if one works, the other should as well.

If yes I will see whether I can use it and self-host my refuge, so to speak.
Maybe I can even import my toot history (of 13k toots).

Either way thanks for developing this!

Hi Matthias,

Unfortunately, these clients won't work as they rely on the "Mastodon API", which the project does not implement.

Short answer is that I feel like it would add a lot of bloat to the project (and it will be quite complex to implement), so it will probably never get implemented.
The user interface is mobile-friendly, but it will lack (push) notifications.
You can also see https://todo.sr.ht/~tsileo/microblog.pub/27#event-205807 for more context.

And about importing your history, it will be complex with any software/ActivityPub server, as it's not really part of the spec:
 - The server URL is part of the message ID, which means you can't re-import existing content
  - (for example Mastodon (and microblogpub) supports only moving your followers to another instance and exporting the accounts you follow)
 - If you somehow re-import your content, it will have a new ID/URL and will lose all the interactions/replies

I hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions!

Thank you!

Hi! Thanks for the fast reply!
Another mastodon server it is then, I guess.
