@kreynen@kbin.melroy.org thoughts on this NLNet project that got recently funded?
https://nlnet.nl/project/Drupal-ActivityPub/

I don't know any of the details about what exactly they are trying to improve, but I have spent some time looking at https://fedidb.org/software/wordpress. While the stats for WP's integration look impressive on the surface, that plugin is just piping WP authentication to MAU. 2.5 million posts is impressive, but a lot of this is AI generated SEO garbage and it has close to zero engagement.
I really hope the NLNNet resources are used to create useful ActivityPub features.
I've also learned that not every nail needs a hammer the size of Drupal. Mbin is also uses Symfony, Composer, Twig, etc. It is a usecase specific project with an active contributor community that is unlikely to get involved with something that has all the overhead of Drupal for a Redit/Stack Overflow style interaction.
Every Drupal dev should be able to contribute to Mbin because of the common stack. It takes years for someone capable of understanding Mbin to climb the Drupal learning curve.
