ActivityPub federated instant messaging server. Contribute to MaddyUnderStars/shoot development by creating an account on GitHub.

Apparently there is an attempt for a federated alternative to Discord.

    Is there some documentation / specification for the ActivityPub part of it? I’d like to see how these messages, channels and groups get exchanged from a programmer’s / protocol perspective.

      I don’t think that they are federated yet.

      I found this under the “Panned” section

      It’s the link labeled “Federation with other fediverse software”

      Although I’m not sure how Discord style it will be if there is federation between Shoot instances

        Thanks, yeah seems they in fact have the boilerplate code there to handle the basics of ActivityPub. But all the complicated and difficult stuff is missing. And that’d be the majority of the effort.
