<![CDATA[Would activitypub fit a fanfiction archive similar to AO3?]]>I'm building a fanfiction archive and I was wondering whether I should add federation just to the forum or to the whole site and if I add it to the whole site whether or not ActivityPub would be a good fit, like is it possible using ActivityPub to share the load of hosting the files across different instances or is that something unrelated and it's only useful for typical social interactions?

But about including ActivityPub to one's own site, Wordpress, NeoDB and Threads have integrations to it, Tumblr considered it even if the idea was dropped later on, and Bridge Fedi is a thing for federating to/from Bluesky and other AT Protocol platforms. So if @PumpkinDrama@reddthat.com thinks it's within scope, go crazy, I'd say.

Have you been involved in fanfic hosting before? The difficulties are about the humans, not the software.

Some such activities could be that someone has written, updated, or commented on fanfiction stories. If you want to exchange that information between different sites, AP is very well suited for that.

If you want to see something similar in action, check out Ibis, the federated wiki alternative: https://github.com/Nutomic/ibis
