Federation with ActivityPub

[forrestwilkins]

Praxis servers or instances should be able to communicate with other instances, using ActivityPub. This will enable federation, similar to Mastodon or Diaspora, and will enable the app to be decentralized to a certain extent.

Work has already been started for this in a previous project:

• https://github.com/forrestwilkins/council

Specifically in the following files

• https://github.com/forrestwilkins/council/blob/master/backend/routes/actorRoute.js
• https://github.com/forrestwilkins/council/blob/master/backend/routes/userRoute.js

Just in case, while Mastodon uses ActivityPub, Diaspora uses its own protocol.

@mkljczk Ah, that's definitely good to know!
