This isn't really going to be a blog most, but more of a collection of tidbits and resources I found helpful in implenting the [ActivityPub integration](/meta/2019/reincarnation/#activity-pub) for the new version of my blog.

- [Kaniini's blog post](https://blog.dereferenced.org/federation-what-flows-where-and-why) about how data actually moves through the fediverse.
### Reference Material
- Darius Kazemi has a [simple reference implementation](https://github.com/dariusk/express-activitypub/) of an ActivityPub server written using Node.js.
- I used the [Pleroma source code](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/) a great deal when working on my implementation, mainly just because I'm familiar with Elixir.
- I'd also like to think [my own implementation](https://git.shadowfacts.net/shadowfacts/shadowfacts.net/src/branch/master/lib/activitypub) is fairly approachable (it's about 700 lines of not-too-complicated TypeScript).
- Ted Unangst has a collection of [sample data](https://jawn.tedunangst.com/a/R526ZQ49MbYt5J4KpR) which is useful for comparing how different implementations represent things in AP.
### Other
- For actually testing federation, [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) is very useful for testing your implementations against others. It creates a tunnel from your local machine to a public domain with HTTPS already setup. Because your code is still running locally, you have access to all your usual debugging tools and can iterate rapidly.
- Testing against other implementations running locally (be it on your machine or inside a VM/container) lets you access debug logs and see what the other server is actually receiving, which can be quite useful.
- Ted Unangst also has his own [compilation of AP-related links](https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/ActivityPub-as-it-has-been-understood).
