Brief history How old: created in Feb 2019 Versions available: 1.0.0-alpha17, works with Drupal 9.4 and 10, release in Mar 2023 Actively maintained Minimally maintained Number of open issues: 43 open issues, only 2 bugs but 1 of those fixed in the past week Usage stats: 11 sites using it according to drupal.org Maintainer(s): Created and maintained by swentel, who also created a module for publishing Drupal content to the Nostr network Module features and usage Effectively allows your site to act as a Fediverse server: Mastodon, Pleroma, Picelfed, etc. Users who enable ActivityPub for their account have created @user@domain in the Fediverse At that point the Drupal UI provides some common features of a social client: notifications about subscribers, and so on Provides plugins to define user actions. Default plugins are 'Accept', 'Follow', 'Delete', 'Undo' and 'Inbox reply', but a site could add or enable others Based on the documentation it sounds like if you update an entity (e.g. change the title) you can trigger an Update activity, which is in stark contrast to a certain bird platform There's quite a bit more in the module's README file if anyone wants to better understand its capabilities
