the-federation.info has been down for at least a couple of days. The last good version in the Wayback Machine was in late August;

The archiver has tried a number of times since then, but hit server errors. Hope the battle-weary survivor hasn't gone down for the count this time 😟

> I'm trying to make a list of all the websites that list ActivityPub 1) software 2) instances and whose content isn't too out of date;

Necroposting I know, but there may some helpful stuff in here;

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediparty/wiki/Fediverse-Guides-and-Community-Resources

These wiki pages have been getting a fair bit of love over the last. Unlike fediverse.party itself, which is proving a bit of PITA to update, but we'll get there.

@smallcircles if you're still using your GritHub account you you could ask for clarification? I'm trying the Matrix room, which is the only other point of contact I can find.

@smallcircles the issue discussion I linked discussed a plugin option, and was closed as 'completed'. Maybe that was a mistake, and they intended to close as 'not in scope'?

It appears that FedWiki has completed some kind of ActivityPub implementation;

Anyone know more about this?

AFAIK the Elixir back-end of Pleroma/ Akkoma can be uses with the Mastodon web client. Bonfire's Elixir back-end, forked from a Pleroma fork, could be another option.

#TIL that BackDrop CMS (a fork of Durupal 7) is working on an ActivityPub plugin;

https://backdropcms.org/project/backdrop_federation

The latest version is in alpha, released in March this year. If you can help the developers to test or improve it, please do!

I agree with @blogdiva that there ought to have been an "enterprise" grade fork under a new name, and earlier than 7 too. Because what BackDrop is, is what Drupal originally was, so that line of development deserved the legacy name.

But the only practical difference would be in the naming. All the big bucks would have left Drupal for the enterprise fork, and it would be underfunded now just like BackDrop is.

@blogdiva
> Backdrop (the fork from D7-8) is great, but it doesn't get the money and support Drupal gets

That has to do with the reason for the split. Drupal began as a CMS for small community sites (activists used it a lot in the 2000s). By the time of D7, it was being used in giant instances like streaming video sites for TV stations, who could pay big bucks to get their needs met. BackDrop forked to optimise for the original set of deployers who can't donate much.

I just added a new watchlist to the fediverse.party wiki, for CMS that have ActivityPub plugins;

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediparty/wiki/CMS+with+ActivityPub+plugins+-+watchlist.-

As always, if you see any gaps or errors, sing out!
