ActivityPub Web Handler

The ActivityPub (activitypub.js) provides ActivityPub support currently compatible with Mastodon and perhaps similar ActivityPub systems within the Fediverse allowing direct and public messaging, following/followers, etc. to be integrated with the ENiGMA½ BBS system.

Supported Features

ActivityPub with Mastodon support
Users are generated a random avatar once enabled with the ability to change them within their ActivityPub configuration
Social Manager
Actor search (that is, other users within the Fediverse)
Private and public messaging to/from the Fediverse
