   ActivityPub federation of Gitlab underway!

   "I have finished preparing my design documents for this feature. See here for the reasoning behind adding ActivityPub to Gitlab and an overview of the implementation path, and here more specifically for this current issue, with more detailed specifications.

   I now feel confident enough to get starting implementing this into Gitlab. I'm going to add the activities iteratively, there is quite some distance to cover up." -Kik

     "In implementing an ActivityPub actor, there are three distinct parts we need:

     We need to make a list of activities publicly available, similar to what a RSS feed is doing, but using the ActivityStream format.
     We need to add a "profile page" endpoint for the actor, providing its name and url to the outbox (list of activities) endpoint
     We need to accept external POST requests for subscribing, and then push our own requests to the subscriber when an event happen."

     @heluecht asked them about implementing @forgefed

     "The current specs I proposed are meant to allow people on the fediverse to follow activity on Gitlab instances, without write access, as a first step toward the fediverse. For that reason, I prefer to avoid using an extension of ActivityPub : if I do use it, then Mastodon, Lemmy and others now have to implement support for that extension too, or the content we send to them will be useless."
