Quite interesting that this functions as an independent AP server instead of using the c2s api like most other bots 👍

c2s api like most other bots

Maybe you mean “bots using the ad-hoc APIs from the servers”? AFAIK, there is no server implementing C2S ActivityPub, so it would be hard to have bots making use of them?

I am aware of that and explicitly didn’t write ActivityPub c2s api 🙄

C2S has a very specific usage, and if you meant “regular clients”, you’d do better by qualifying the API you were talking about by specifying the application - i.e, Mastodon, Lemmy - than by throwing a meaningless term.

Interesting:

BotKit is a TypeScript framework for creating standalone ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

I wish more open source projects would tell you what the thing does haha.
