Elixir for Fediverse applications? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/elixir

Does anyone else think that Elixir could be really well-suited to writing fediverse applications? I'm really tempted to try my hand at writing an alternative Lemmy backend. If anyone is feeling the same way, I'd be more than happy to host a project on my GitHub and give y'all access and we can see what we can do.

I'm reading through the spec now, here: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/. Basically every user has an Inbox and an Outbox, and updates from a user's Outbox are added to relevant users' Inboxes. I also found an Elixir ActivityPub library here: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/activity_pub
