@maegul @VintageGenious Agreed. But it's tricky. Few thoughts:
ActivityPub itself is in a bit of a mess. Spec too large (spread out over many other specifications!), poor documentation, overly generic.
Many devs just aren't that familiar with interoperability
To encourage adoption, Mastodon and Lemmy cloned existing services and behaviour
Those two fediverse systems added ActivityPub late in their development
