:heavy_check_mark: == **added to live website** :tada: == **projects that have successfully federated with this protocol** :black_nib: == newly added to this page (added, not altered. Only @lostinlight to remove please) *Note*: Tools with open protocol issue (not yet implemented), not fully open sourced code, no documentation at all, or alpha state with development inactive for several months, not added for now. ## List of projects that have an ActivityPub implementation or are committed to one *Note*: This list began in issue https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/issues/8. Most of these projects include both a back-end and a web client, but this list can also include 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 watchlist ](https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/wikis/watchlist-for-client-apps). #### Social networks, Microblog Apps * :heavy_check_mark: [Aardwolf](https://github.com/Aardwolf-Social/aardwolf) - aims to create a FB-a-like in Rust.

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. * [Acorde](https://github.com/polymerwitch/Acorde) - federated social music platform. Almost a year has passed since the initial commit. * [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. * [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". * [MediaGoblin](https://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/5503) - streaming of any and all media files. Currently in "[unofficial retirement](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19779594)". * [Numa](https://github.com/numaverse/numaverse-gateway/issues/3) - built on Ethereum blockchain but intended to federate with AP. No commits since April 2018. No reply on issue about AP compatibility testing from May 8. Homepage now a spam site. * [Osada](https://framagit.org/zot/osada) - Osada was a full featured social network application running under the ActivityPub protocol. It also communicated with and inter-operated with servers on the Zot6 network. Abandoned by the developers in March 2019. * [Pylodon](https://github.com/rowanlupton/pylodon) - Flask-based (Python) ActivityPub server , [source code also on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/rowanlupton/pylodon), no updates on either repo for about a year, nor on their Smilodon client app. * [Quit.im](https://quit.im) - this was a photo-sharing web client for a GNU social server, rather than a completely separate app. It would become an AP implementation when the AP plug-in for GS is done, but it's been obsoleted by the release of PixelFed. * [Smilodon](https://gitlab.com/tuxcrafting/smilodon) - abandoned by developer "I'm now [working on Sminos](https://gitlab.com/tuxcrafting/sminos/issues/1) and so this will probably be 100% abandoned. There's not much to salvage, its code is cancer." ## Sources Aside from project homepages and issue trackers, and comments made on the fediverse, the [SocialWG has a list](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/ActivityPub_network) of projects they hoped would 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 created a [web spreadsheet of AP apps](https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks) and their characteristics. More projects using AP are [profiled on We Distribute](http://wedistribute.org/) by Sean Tilley. The [ActivityPub tag on GH](https://github.com/topics/activitypub) is also a way to discover projects experimenting with AP.
