### List of projects that may be implementing ActivityPub, which began in issue https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/issues/8
*Note*: most of these projects include both a back-end and a web client, but this list also includes projects that are only a back-end. Projects that are only a web app, for use with an existing back-end, will go on the client list [here](https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/wikis/watchlist-for-client-apps).

The [SocialWG has a list](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/ActivityPub_network) of projects they hope will implement ActivityPub and links to Issues where it's discussed. Also, there is an [implementation report on ActivityPub.rocks](https://activitypub.rocks/implementation-report/). @Mayel from Social.coop is maintaining a [web spreadsheet of AP apps](https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks) and their characteristics. More projects using AP are [profiled on We Distribute](https://medium.com/we-distribute) by Sean Tilley. From these and other sources (see links), it looks like all these apps are either considering, working on, or already rolling out AP support:

2018-11-16 23:35:09 +05:30

#### Dead Projects
Listed on this watchlist just in case anyone doesn't realize they're dead, and thinks we just didn't know about them. Also in case a project is orphaned, then reactivated by a new developer.
* [CloutStream](https://web.archive.org/web/20180808152307/http://cloutstream.com/) - proposed as a federated replacement for LinkedIn. Original Mastodon.social account appears to have been removed ([copy on Pinafore]( https://pinafore.social/accounts/25168)), all the links projects tools appear to be down.
2018-12-11 16:10:12 +05:30
* [Fontina](https://github.com/beta-phenylethylamine/fontina) - proposed as a photo-sharing social media network. GH repo has gone read-only, and now says "dead project".
* [Numa](https://github.com/numaverse/numaverse-gateway/issues/3) - built on Ethereum blockchain but intends to federate with AP. No commits since April 2018. No reply on issue about AP compatibility testing from May 8.
