Top 6 Python Activitypub Projects

bookwyrm

12 2,144 9.7 Python

Social reading and reviewing, decentralized with ActivityPub

Project mention: Bookwyrm – the federated social network for reading books | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-19

It’s got a very ideologically-driven focus, including an anti-capital source license:
https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENS...
I think the focus on federation is to encourage small, decentralized and communally operated sites that play well with the broader fediverse. I can see that working well for a lot of book communities!
Also, spent a bit of time a few weeks ago and it already seemed to have the nicest UX of the open social book services, at least that I could see (would love recs - mostly interested in a personal tracker).

microblog.pub

6 1,085 4.4 Python

A self-hosted, single-user, ActivityPub powered microblog.

Project mention: Notes on running a single-person Mastodon server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-12

https://docs.microblog.pub/ is intended to be a single person instance/blog but the reality is that I am more interested in consuming posts than making them, so I just use the built in rss feeds to follow people I like https://mstdn.social/@feditips/108357998963885456
