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?
🕹️ skyjake [...] · 2023-05-22 at 21:03:
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.
