That instance runs Lemmy 1.0 which is still in alpha state, and the frontend is not compatible yet. So only the api works there.

Yes not sure whats wrong there, the server was using a lot of cpu for no reason. Restart fixed it for now, let me know if it happens again.

In principle that sounds like a problem with NodeBB or other platforms you are using. Lemmy doesnt do anything special to fetch remote communities. But if you notice any error responses served by Lemmy you can open an issue.

What exactly do you mean with parallel federation and queues backed up? There is such a feature but only a single case that requires it, which is federation from lemmy.world to aussie.zone. NodeBB wont be affected by that.

Im not familiar with the specs, for now Im only implementing basic OAuth (and only the part where users can login to Ibis with an account from another website). I didnt know about Openwebauth, maybe that could be supported at some point in the future.

Ah it sounds like youre a maintainer or contributor on Hubzilla, didnt know that. In fact I am currently working on OAuth-based SSO for Ibis. And making it federate with Hubzilla wikis would definitely be good. For now Ibis doesnt federate with any other Fediverse platforms and has some compatibility problems. In the near future I will make a major rewrite of the federation logic to get that working properly.

Yes that would definitely be helpful for the project.

@hamiller@forum.wedistribute.org said in this thread that Hubzilla wikis are not federated. Do you have different information?

Very nice that the forum federates with Lemmy now!

This is the first time Im hearing about Hubzilla wiki. The usual request with curl -H 'accept: application/activity+json' doesnt return any Activitypub JSON, only HTML. Does it really federate, and if so do you know where the wiki federation is documented? Would be good to make it compatible with Ibis.

Back to the main topic, a Fediverse wiki sounds like a great idea. Youre welcome to use the main instance ibis.wiki for this, as it is meant for articles about open source software. Or you can host your own instance, the setup is quite simple. It is also possible to move Ibis articles from one instance to another in case you want to try first and launch your own instance later. Let me know if you have any questions!

FYI the next Lemmy version will use Create/Note for private messages. You can test it on voyager.lemmy.ml

Private messages and public comments are quite awkward in Activitypub, because the json format looks identical. They only way to differentiate them is to check for the presence or absence of https:...

Thanks I replied above.

Lemmy definitely sends Announce/Create/Note to all followers (but not Announce/Note). Maybe Mastodon made a change recently to ignore those, because people used to complain a lot about their timeline being full of comments after following a Lemmy community.
