Holding Hands with the "Fediverse" – ActivityPub at SFO Museum (millsfield.sfomuseum.org)

SFO Museum has joined the “Fediverse”. We have begun to operate a series of automated “bot” accounts that are published using the ActivityPub protocols and that can be subscribed to from any client, like Mastodon, that supports those standards. These are automated, low-frequency, accounts and they currently only support a limited set of interactions: Accounts can be followed or unfollowed, individual posts can be “liked”, “boosted” or replied to but those replies will not be answered (yet) or published on the SFO Museum websites. To get started we’ve created three “groups” of accounts: Things which have happened recently involving the SFO Museum Aviation Collection; Things which have happened in the terminals (new and old) and; Things from the collection which are related to flights in and out of SFO.

Interesting. I suspect these are bots that republish their extensive variety of syndication feeds, though I don’t see the airport terminal feeds documented.

Actually, given their go-activitypub-feeds repo, surely this is the case.

An opinionated Go package for publishing syndication feeds to ActivityPub accounts.
