ActivityPub & Mastodon-compatible functionality

[BanjoFox]

This is item 8, in the Hackers Guide to Aardwolf

Unfortunately this is a very... undefined floating target however I will do my best to at least point out the trail heads.
These bullet points are generally going to follow order of operations as they make sense in my head.

• Build a "map" of the -existing- Mastodon functionality.
• Build a "map" of the full ActivityPub specification
• Find common links between Mastodon map, and ActivityPub map
• Translate the parts common to ActivityPub & Mastodon into pseudocode. Getting it CLOSE to Rust would be great when possible
• Take remaining parts of the ActivityPub spec, and pseudocode those
• Try to come up with a list of additional functional targets which are missing/poorly defined/not covered by ActivityPub

as a note, if you have questions about activitypub feel free to ping me in fediverse :)

I can't break it down into rust but I can probably explain it well enough that you could :)

It has been broken down into Rust! https://github.com/asonix/activitypub <--another crate to add to the cargo. See also https://github.com/rustodon/rustodon

@rayrrr -- Asonix is perhaps the largest contributor to this project currently. It is good to see that folks are still looking into Rustodon as well. That project is nearly as old as ours :)
