Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Activity Pub vs. Web Frameworks
We need good patterns for ‘dereferencing’ dns-bound identifiers like many https://{dns} URLs into something like a multiformats/cid[1]

IPFS and Their Gateways
Verification would require more data than CID itself provides (ipld document layout, chunking algorithm, max chunk sizes...).
See https://github.com/multiformats/cid/issues/22

Penalties for misbehaving servers?
The CID tells you its hashing scheme, and possibly its chunking scheme (via its serialization tag). This is an important and very intentional property of the CID. See the CID specification at https://github.com/multiformats/cid .

IPFS and Their Gateways
As others have said, it's not as straightforward because the CID is a hash of the data's encoding which is not the same as the data itself (it is chunked into pieces to facilitate incremental verifiability, better caching, etc.).
Here is the master issue on the IPFS side tracking "verifiable gateway responses": https://github.com/ipfs/in-web-browsers/issues/128. As you can see, there are significant technical challenges but consistent progress is being made.

Is there a real serverless working example of pubsub usage?
Looks like there are some web browser clients but you still need to have a server provide the scripts or have the user download it. https://github.com/ipfs/in-web-browsers
