Kitsune is still pre-alpha so it’s not yet ready for production use, but it’s getting very close now and several new contributors have come along to help out.

In light of interop initiatives like the Lemmy/Kbin Reinvestment Phase and Recruiting from Mastodon, I think Kitsune-Lemmy interoperability is an equally important development. Since both are made in Rust it should be easier to find common ground, as well as building direct integrations between the two.

What’s the difference between Kitsune and the existing lightweight servers microblog, GoToSocial, etc?

It took me a while to find out what an "AP server" is.

Perhaps you can write "ActivityPub" going forward? I know this is the fediverse community, but "AP" can mean different things to different people.

Heh sure! Maybe I can get away with a slightly longer shorthand, like APub.

edit: Hey look at that, we can edit post titles in Lemmy ✨

Please add screenshots to GitHub.

Is this like a lightweight mastodon server?

[–] erlend_sh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yep. It’s Mastodon-compatible. Currently it’s UI-less (backend-only) like GoToSocial.
