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.

We need a textodon (text-only Fediverse hub)

Something like this that I know of, in a very simplified form.

> So you want to get some thoughts out on the internet in a convenient and slick way while also following the gibberish of others? Instead of signing up at a closed and/or regulated microblogging platform, getting your status updates out with twtxt is as easy as putting them in a publicly accessible text file. The URL pointing to this file is your identity, your account. twtxt then tracks these text files, like a feedreader, and builds your unique timeline out of them, depending on which files you track. The format is simple, human readable, and integrates well with UNIX command line utilities.

POSSE: Publish (On Your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere
I will note that indieweb folks sometimes get a little dogmatic about POSSE being better than PESOS (Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate to your Own Site). Because POSSE necessarily entails write-permissions, it's titchier to set up than PESOS-ing your public content elsewhere back to your own site. I had a lot of stuff PESOSed from Lemmy (https://lemmy.ml/post/47757) to my own site (https://maya.land/responses/2021/01/14/recyclable-plastic-is...) because I could just scrape the content out of the Lemmy RSS feed and reformat. Similarly I pull over Hypothes.is annotations (https://via.hypothes.is/https://theprepared.org/features-fee...) to a personal wiki where I clean them up into posts for my site (https://maya.land/responses/2021/07/29/geofoam-giant-styrofo...). Sure, if I wanted to update in two places it'd get titchy, but because I'm mainly using these other sites as front-ends to get a canonical personal copy I then mess with, it works pretty well. Hell, I even take Mastodon (https://occult.institute/@maya) and shove it into a twtxt (https://github.com/buckket/twtxt) file on my site (https://maya.land/assets/twtxt.txt). Once you start thinking about stuff with these approaches you can always find a convenient way to duct tape things together.

How far did my post go on the Fediverse?
If you're interested in an ActivityPub that works like that, I work on one called FedBOX[1]. It doesn't have clients at the moment, but that's how I planned to have it used.

I Wrote an Activitypub Server in OCaml: Lessons Learnt, Weekends Lost
Well, there is one already as the reference implementation for a suite of libraries I wrote. You can find it at https://github.com/go-ap/fedbox. (Contributions welcome)

Also my project, mentioned elsewhere in the thread: https://github.com/go-ap/fedbox, supports filesystem storage directly.

Go-Fed: ActivityPub in Go
Hi, I'm the developer of go-ap. Which parts of it are giving you trouble? I'm always open to answer questions to the project's mailing list: https://lists.sr.ht/~mariusor/activitypub-go
There is a rather hidden wiki that has some more information than strictly the comments in the code: https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/
If you are looking for examples, there is a reference server at https://github.com/go-ap/fedbox

Gophers on Mastodon
There is a Go implementation of a generic ActivityPub service. I am actively working on it as we speak: https://github.com/go-ap/fedbox. (You can see a demo instance of it at https://federated.id)

First release of LemmyBB, a federated bulletin board written in Rust
That's pretty cool actually. I've been tossing around the idea of a federating forum style UX that uses ActivityPub, and I figured it would be easy using something like this https://github.com/go-ap/fedbox
I don't know how many generic AP backend servers are out there, but it looks like Lemmy is becoming one. I hope they keep with the AP spec and allow any functionality in addition to it to be modular.

Mastodon.technology Is Shutting Down
> What we really need in this landscape is dead simple services.
I'm working on exactly that: a service that acts as an ActivityPub server (code[1], example[2], example application running on top of it[3]) for users in the form of a static binary. It supports multiple storage backends that can be selected individually or all together at build time and it can be extended to many more.
