Been pondering for my team to use it for our product’s timeline. I don’t particularly want our user base to be Bluesky, but it’d be good to have support for the protocol, and control over the system.

Have there been any products go embraced this? Or is it like ActivityPub where basically the whole thing is Mastodon.

ActivityPub is embraced by:

  - Threads  
  - Flipboard  
  - WordPress  
  - micro.blog  
  - NodeBB  
  - PeerTube  
  - Pixelfed  
  - GoToSocial  
  - Akkoma  
  - ...and countless smaller projects

It is by no means just Mastodon.

This isn’t quite true. WordPress.com announced they were planning on ActivityPub support, but that is a separate entity run by a commercial company (Automattic).

Their plan was to support it specifically on Tumblr, as well as helping fund an open source plugin for it; there have been no plans to integrate it into the WordPress software directly.

I believe they’ve also deprioritised it as they did significant layoffs recently.

		What do you mean? WordPress already supports ActivityPub through their plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ I follow a few blogs on Mastodon just fine (for example John Carlos Baez's Azimuth, https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/), it's just like an RSS reader in your timeline.

My point is in terms of activity. I’m familiar with all those services. I recommend doing a percentage of each vs total activitypub content.

I would also discard services that auto post to the fediverse but are not actively used by the majority of users as such.

Beyond Bluesky, there's a growing ecosystem including Pebble (a self-hosted PDS), Skychat (messaging), Skeet (app framework), Graysky (mobile client), and several specialized feeds/algorithms - unlike ActivityPub, ATProto's architecture allows for more diverse application types while maintaining interoperability.

		Do you have experience with Pebble? Could be nice to have a ready made pds!

For now mostly just small things that the Bluesky dev/user community is playing with, but check out e.g. Tangled which is meant to be a GitHub alternative on ATProto: https://tangled.sh

Similarly our news site is considering a live-blog feature and I'm wondering if AT Proto would be a fun way to do it.

activitypub is mostly used in the fediverse. mastodon is one of many clients and servers, and one of the worst.
