    Most people know about messages, photos and videos on the . But the protocol actually defines several object types, each one distinct and more or less compatible across apps:

    - Note: short post (Mastodon)
    - Article / Page: long text or shared link (WriteFreely, Lemmy)
    - Image (Pixelfed)
    - Video (PeerTube)
    - Audio (Funkwhale)
    - Event with date and place (Mobilizon)

    Each type has its own apps and its own logic. They all federate together, but each app shows at best what it was built for and simplifies the rest. A Mobilizon event seen from Mastodon shows up as a regular post: the details are there, but no way to interact with it directly. A PeerTube video shows up as a link, not a real player. To get the full experience, one account per network is still the usual path.

    HolosSocial brings them together in a single app. It understands different ActivityPub object types and presents each one in its own way: a real video player, a calendar entry for events, a reader for articles. You can easily attach your own cloud to host your media, with videos compressed on the device before upload.

    Fedilab supports several APIs (Mastodon, PeerTube, Misskey...), but each one carries the limits of its own server: what the server knows how to do, what it federates, what it exposes. Holos works directly with ActivityPub object types, opening filters that go beyond attachments, from a single account.

    @apps Are you aware of the ActivityPub API Task Force at the W3C? You might find it interesting.

    @evan
    Yes, I know it. And I'm already thinking about bringing it to Fedilab. My main difficulty right now is being alone with a lot of work already. But I do think it's also my role as a developer to bring things forward. Especially when I believe in it.
