@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) I don’t fully understand the difference between ActivityPub and ActivityStreams, so that may be confusing the issue for me here. But without interaction this feels like a subscription mechanism akin to RSS or JSONFeeds - a perfectly valid use case if that is the case. But I’m a bit confused about who the actor/author would be for these posts, and whether the concept of federation applies.

Regarding:

"I don’t fully understand the difference between ActivityPub and ActivityStreams, so that may be confusing the issue for me here. "

It might be simpler to just call both of them (plus some other stuff) "ActivityPub".

(Most people do.)
