Raw Blame History

✔ == added to website

[Tools with open protocol issue (not yet implemented), not fully open sourced code, no documentation at all, or alpha state with development inactive for several months - not added for now]

List of projects that may be implementing ActivityPub, which began in issue https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/issues/8

Note: most of these projects include both a back-end and a web client, but this list also includes projects that are only a back-end. Projects that are only a web app, for use with an existing back-end, will go on the client list here.

The SocialWG has a list of projects they hope will implement ActivityPub and links to Issues where it's discussed. Also, there is an implementation report on ActivityPub.rocks. @Mayel from Social.coop is maintaining a web spreadsheet of AP apps and their characteristics. More projects using AP are profiled on We Distribute by Sean Tilley. From these and other sources (see links), it looks like all these apps are either considering, working on, or already rolling out AP support:

Social network, Microblog Apps

Blog and Publishing Apps

Link-sharing Apps

Media-hosting Apps

  • Acorde - federated social music platform (initial commit)

  • ✔ Anfora (formerly Zinat) - image sharing

  • ✔ FunkWhale - music streaming

  • MediaGoblin - streaming of any and all media files

  • PeerPx - social network for photographers ("alternative to 500px / Flickr")

  • PixelFed - image sharing

  • Quit.im - this is a photo-sharing web client for a GNU social server, rather than a completely separate app, so it will become an AP implementation when the AP plug-in for GS is done.

  • snap.as - photo sharing

  • ✔ reel2bits - Soundcloud-like

Events and Meetups

  • Mobilizon - aims to be more than a Meetup clone

  • Calendar-social - no specific mention of ActivityPub on the repo but rumour on the fediverse is that it will be an AP app. I will post a question on their issue tracker.

  • GetTogether

Files, Contacts, and Calendar Syncing Apps

  • ✔ NextCloud - seem to be only using AP for internal federation?

  • ✔ ownCloud - seem to be only using AP for internal federation?

Developer Tools

Proposed Projects

A place to list rumoured projects for further research, and vapourware, projects that have been planned but no usable code has been written yet.

  • Communecter - already supports ActivityStreams, plans to implement the rest of AP soon (is it alive?)

  • Indienet - homepage - projects goals seem similar to the federated homepages of the IndieWeb, but federated using AP.

  • Spritely - a new federated media-streaming server in Ratchet, planned by Chris Webber of MediaGoblin fame

Dead Projects

Listed on this watchlist just in case anyone doesn't realize they're dead, and thinks we just didn't know about them. Also in case a project is orphaned, then reactivated by a new developer.

  • CloutStream - proposed as a federated replacement for LinkedIn. Original Mastodon.social account appears to have been removed (copy on Pinafore), all the links projects tools appear to be down.

  • Fontina - proposed as a photo-sharing social media network. GH repo has gone read-only, and now says "dead project".

  • Numa - built on Ethereum blockchain but intends to federate with AP. No commits since April 2018. No reply on issue about AP compatibility testing from May 8.
