ActivityPub federated instant messaging server. Contribute to MaddyUnderStars/shoot development by creating an account on GitHub.

Apparently there is an attempt for a federated alternative to Discord.

    Is there some documentation / specification for the ActivityPub part of it? I’d like to see how these messages, channels and groups get exchanged from a programmer’s / protocol perspective.

      I don’t think that they are federated yet.

      I found this under the “Panned” section

      It’s the link labeled “Federation with other fediverse software”

      Although I’m not sure how Discord style it will be if there is federation between Shoot instances

        It federates, I was told that it uses FEP-1b12. However, I haven’t yet gotten past the actor discovery because there is always some bug that prevents further interactions 😅

          Uh, bummer. Thanks. Btw I think FEP-1b12 is the very abstract concept on how to address things to a group. I suppose we should have a working implementation of it in almost all current Fediverse software that deals with groups. The interesting part would be to specify the content that gets delivered like the chat messages this project is concerned with. Or how they’re sorted, or how these groups are presented or the additional multimedia functionality.

        Thanks, yeah seems they in fact have the boilerplate code there to handle the basics of ActivityPub. But all the complicated and difficult stuff is missing. And that’d be the majority of the effort.
