I think it’s not correct when #ActivityPub thought leaders consider JSON-LD a schema definition language. I don't think it's an effective alternative to JSON Schema (for JSON) or SHACL or ShEx (for RDF). JSON-LD can’t be used to describe structure and constraints of data, for example. It's primarily an RDF serialization and the only benefit I see for AP is preventing property name clashes when doing full JSON-LD processing. I hope this topic will be reconsidered someday in ActivityPub 2.0.

I believe the W3C should reconsider splitting the #ActivityPub Recommendation into three documents: Core/Shared requirements, S2S (Server-to-Server, "social/federation protocol"), and C2S (Client-to-Server, "social API"). I think it would reduce developer confusion and help them focus on requirements that are relevant to their work (typically, S2S/Core). It would also allow C2S to be improved independently so that more developers might consider using it.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 Is there a technical description somewhere of how #fedipage works? Or is studying the source code the best approach?

I added search, RDF export and easier access to the existing RSS feed support to my @npub139g…qhjk Postmarks fork (AP-enabled bookmark app).

I've started collecting my web bookmarks in a self-hosted instance of Postmarks, an #activitypub enabled bookmark manager. I've customized it with a dark mode and Docker support. Fun!
