ocappub VS rss-to-activitypub

Well said.

I wonder if maybe It Can Be Different This Time. I think it will take focused work at the protocol level, because you’re right that the Fediverse is a juicy target. I worry that the next 6 months will be a war against spam and other attackers… one that instance admins are under-resourced and under-equipped to win.

We need to get a governance structure going and iterate towards something like OcapPub https://gitlab.com/spritely/ocappub

https://gitlab.com/spritely/ocappub/blob/master/README.org is an interesting way forward.

- one by Darius Kazemi, the creator of Hometown, a fork of Mastodon with a focus on local community: https://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub

Darius Kazemi, the creator of Hometown, made an AP server where you can register a feed and it turns into an actor (ie an account): https://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub

I made my own thing, fetching an RSS feed and posting entries to an existing account. It makes the code much simpler, but is not practical if you have lots of feeds (you need yo create all accounts separately): https://sr.ht/~rakoo/rss2ap/

https://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub/

Feed that into an RSS to ActivityPub bridge like GitHub - dariusk/rss-to-activitypub: An RSS to ActivityPub converter.

I built this: https://sr.ht/~rakoo/rss2ap/. It posts RSS entries to a given account, and that account can now be subscribed to, entries can be commented, etc... It works well for one or two feeds but can get tedious if you want to follow many feeds and not spend too much time on that.

There is also https://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub. It requires a bit more work to maintain, but the creation and management of feeds is way more straightforward.
