I can't see how Apub's C2S API can realistically be implemented. It's fairly light on details and if I'm understanding it correctly the only standard way to get activity from the server is to pull from an actor's inbox, which has to be an
OrderedCollection
of all the activity the actor has received (likes, notifications, posts, the lot). This shifts a lot of the work to clients which, apart from being being very classist, is very limiting for implementations.
