It was wild, it was nuts, it was the most ambitious project ever! It was refined urani–er, I mean. The backend of this website is now running, and you read that correctly, running, ActivityPub. What the hell? What the heck? What do you MEAN this website is running ActivityPub? This ain’t no Mastodon! I don’t see a timeline! Where’s Johnny 2 Fingers talkin’ about Linux Mint?!

Lemme stop you right there, Billy Bob.

This is accomplished, not with Mastodon, not with Akkoma, not with GoToSocial, but a custom shim built on Mastodon API routing that effectively ressurects my dead Mastodon account, cmdr_nova@mkultra.monster, and its companion bridged account on Bluesky, https://bsky.app/profile/cmdr-nova.mkultra.monster.ap.brid.gy.

Not only that, but you can follow this website by using the follow button on the main page! From your ActivityPub account!

This user page effectively shows everything being federated: https://mkultra.monster/users/cmdr_nova and could some day soon replace the front page of this website (although, I don’t currently have the energy to do that, and I’m on vacation from work!)

If all works correctly, this blog post, plus anything I post as a “note” should federate as a post, jsut a normal post.

But we’ll see.
