Re: "Exploring Federation and Public Communication On Gemini"
Antenna is a sort of a push-and-pull-based system, no? In that someone tells it to look for new logs and so it goes and gets them.
A federation system could work the same way, thus avoiding weird delays (which, while not the biggest deal, seem preferable to avoid).

@satch An Antenna-like pull-on-request kind of system is exactly what I'm envisioning for my eventual Bubble federation experiments.
Periodic polling would just be wasteful.
I didn't spend too much time thinking about and reading through proposals but all this kinda reminds me of a similar solution from RSS land:
— gemi.dev/cgi-bin/wp.cgi/view?WebSub
Leaving it here to be used as a possible source of inspiration.
@skyjake that makes sense. Basically just pulling feeds down?
Pulling feeds down, yes, but while the feeds would be Gemini feeds in format, they would be comprised of Bubble notifications, essentially: a representation of the activity on the site that is in machine-readable but easy-to-parse form.
That would provide enough information for other instance(s) to recreate the same activity remotely.

Exploring Federation and Public Communication On Gemini — Any thoughts?
