Still in development, but got #ActivityPub replies working! Once it goes live, replies from the fediverse will show up on Remark.as.

Last major issue is to add some basic moderation. Already got instance-level blocking done so I can easily defederate from bad servers, but want to make sure we can handle any potential abuse from individual users too.

Screenshot of a Remark.as conversation in my test environment. There's a box to reply in, and test comments below authored by @matt@writing.exchange (a remote user) alongside one made from a Remark.as account (a local user).

Ah, and replies-to-replies.

Right now there's no way to directly reply to a comment on Remark.as, so I'll have to add that in the UI. Then I have to figure out how to handle replies from the fediverse to other fediverse replies.

They're ignored for now, but I'm keeping the `replies` info on the original replies so ideally we can do something there.

Neat stuff. I'll be curious how visibility settings work. Aka, someone who replies "followers only" probably doesn't want their post made visible on a public website.

@cheribaker Yep, to start off we'll only publicly show Public and Unlisted posts on Remark.as. The others (Followers-only and Private) are dropped completely, but maybe I can make those visible only to the author 🤔
