fxfedi is very similar to all the other projects that are called
fx<platform> - it takes in a fediverse link, and spits out a version with
better metadata than the first had. This is different from https://fxmas.to/ as
fxmas.to relies on the Mastodon API to fetch data, whereas fxfedi uses
ActivityPub to fetch information - in theory this will allow it to work across
all fedi enabled content, and not just instances that implement the Mastodon
API.
fxfedi is still in development and doesn't have a functional deployment yet, but hopefully it will be ready soon!
Make sure to install Deno: https://deno.land/manual/getting_started/installation
Then start the project:
deno task start
This will watch the project directory and restart as necessary.
- Make it respect any #nobot tags in author bios
- Fetch instance robots.txt and check incoming useragent against it
- Provide documentation on how instances can block the bot from fetching posts
- Redirect non-bot visitors to original post
- Better 404 page
- Better caching!!!!!!!!
