Support for ActivityPub

[hulb]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No, not a problem. Since memos supports memo sharing to public, it'll be cool if I can share my memo to the federated network like mastodon through ActivityPub protocol.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding a new sharing option to share memo to federated network. As an enhancement to it's socialization.

Hey, just came across this, does that mean Fediverse support will be soon? Really looking forward to it.

Noticed this had been closed, is this feature no longer planned? Would make Memos a very appealing self-hosted single-user microblogging platform, if ActivityPub was supported! Hopeful to perhaps see it at some point :)

@boojack Is ActivityPub for Memos out of scope?

Just had the same idea and found this (closed) issue. But since this issue was closes by a GitHub action and not @boojack directly, I just wanna add some thoughts.

An integration of the ActivityPub protocol would be quite nice, but also a bigger change.

Rough Technical Considerations

• This would require adding HTTP endpoints for ActivityPub actors, inboxes, and outboxes
• Implementation of JSON-LD handling for ActivityStreams objects
• Authentication and signature verification for secure federation
• Database schema updates to store followers, following relationships, and remote interactions

This could be a bit too much for just one "simple" feature that is used by only some users. A more efficient way would be to use the webhooks and create a post on your favorite ActivityPub client, like Mastodon.

PS: I think I will build a n8n workflow sharing my public memos with my Mastodon profile. If you're interested let me know.

Hi @webserviceXXL , definitely interested in this, I know that if you deploy the instance yourself, you could easily sync the data from memos to mastodon, but can you also do that in public mastodon instance like mastodon.social?

[webserviceXXL]

@yinan-c Yes, every Mastodon server does have a public API. You just need an access token for your account.

My n8n workflow is already active and is publishing all public memos with my Mastodon account at https://mastodon.social/deck/@WebPassionist.

@yinan-c I created a short explanation and made the workflow downloadable at https://www.aaartist.dev/share-memos-on-mastodon/
