@b05df304 there's a lot that can be done statically: webfinger, collections (followers, following), user profiles, outbox. I can see how that would be useful for folks. Have you written up your methods?

@d84d4274 Not yet, and I use statically a bit loosely.. It uses a static site generator but some of the stuff where it is needed still runs as serverless functions. Its basically hugo for the html with TS using tools to render some endpoints.. Most people still call it static though since the website itself i dont know why. Its basically hugo + vercel Only reason i think it counts as static is because without the serverless functions running and endpoints it will still serve up its just the AP stuff will only half-work. But its currently open-source under apache. when im done int he next few days ill make sure the readme makes it easy to follow but for now it would be hard to figure out just from the source.

@b05df304 @d84d4274 There's a #SocialHub discussion ongoing on #ActivityPub for static websites, started by @e23d29a5 and I highly encourage adding your findings to this thread: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/activitypub-support-for-static-sites/3582

@19643ba2 Thanks, i may just pop a link there to it if its useful but frankly id rather someone else do that so it doesnt look like self promotion. The fediverse is so toxic ive had admins loose their shit just for reaching out to resolve issues... Other people can handle the social side of the software.. ill build my tech, use it for myself, and open source if anyone else wants to take it.. ill add good instructions, but ill stay out of the threads. Thanks, feel free to share it as you see fit. Also feel free to ask if i can help. @d84d4274 @e23d29a5

@19643ba2 I'm just a bit jaded. I've been here since the earlier days of the fedi, I run one of the older server instances too.... the people have been so overwhelming toxic in this community since day one I have become jaded @d84d4274 @e23d29a5

@b05df304 @d84d4274 @e23d29a5 Understand, sorry to hear that. Just do as you feel comfortable. I just chimed in as static site AP support is a thing much desired and where many improvements can be made :)

@19643ba2 Well mine is 100% working.. you can follow a user, and you get the accept back.. it even sends the create push to followers when new articles come out, so you get it in your feed. Check it out here: @6b118e7f If anyone comments, stars, or reshares an article on the fedi it shows on the static website as comments on that site.. Basically all the core features you need are there and working. Feel free to use it @d84d4274 @e23d29a5 @29d67b21

@19643ba2 Wonderful, thank you. Please be sure to ping me if you or anyone in the thread needs anything I can help with.. I guess now that i have eyes on this I should get a contributors file together so those people who contributed work I snatched from get proper credit and all.... @6b118e7f @d84d4274 @e23d29a5 @29d67b21
