Using @fedifyFedify: ActivityPub server framework to see how far I can get with very simplistic AP objects and activities. The tutorial and documentation was helpful and gave me a solid template to work from.

The fedify CLI is a great debugging tool, too.

The built in tunnel command makes it a snap to spin up temporary servers that are open to the public web for testing. Here I have two instances spun up so I can send activities between them.

Fedify is running in four different kitty windows, two are running the app, two are running temporary tunnels.

My code is ugly, but it works! And I didn't have to learn all the intricacies of every one-off scenario between every single platform. Fedify hides that from me, and I'm so glad it does. I have no desire to go that deep.
