One fun thing I just learned is that ActivityPub has almost no implementations, certainly no barebones modules I can tell except maybe https://github.com/Arkanosis/microstatus ? except I can't even tell if that is a module or a full-fledged server or both or what
I am a professional software developer and this shit is so byzantine, no wonder the indie web is having such a rough time

Don't forget that ActivityPub isn't even all of indieweb! It gets even more confusing once you throw the other half of the specs into the mix (webmention, micropub, indieauth, etc).

But that's what happens when this stuff is all built up by a bunch of unrelated people on their own time, rather than being a well-crafted developer experience made by a single company with a bunch of VC funding.

It will get better, it just takes a lot of work to make this stuff work, much less make good docs for it on top!
