@raizel Which concrete feature are you missing? Currently I'm rebuilding #AndStatus to support #ActivityStreams as a data model natively. In particular, Notifications / Activities timeline will be introduced to show all incoming Activities (and not messages only as now) in the order they were actually received by this device (and not in the order of dates, when corresponding messages were published or actions occurred). So users (especially having multiple accounts) won't wonder, for example, which "New mentions" were received. This will immediately make AndStatus much more friendlier to existing Pump.io users, I think. ?!

Yuri VolkovYesterday I was implementing #Mastodon API in #AndStatus. Comparing AndStatus with #Tusky client at some point I noticed that Tusky shows me a new post, which mentions myself. But I couldn't find the same post in any timeline that AndStatus feeds from the Mastodon server. It appeared that in addition to Twitter/GNU Social-like timelines Mastodon has something conceptually similar to an "Activity stream" that is called "Notifications" here and, as other parts of the API, is "hand made" :-) Actually, this is a good sign, showing that ideas of #ActivityStreams (currently represented by the #ActivityPub standard https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ ) are growing in the heads of the Mastodon developers. I would go one step further and formulate all timelines and actions as activities and activity streams... It's interesting that these ideas are growing in _my_ head also :-) - I decided that internal AndStatus model of notifications will be based on ActivityStreams too. I.e. each individual notification will have an Actor, an Action and an Object/Content e.g. "Peter posted 'I met a friend'". Having notifications in such a structure, we will be able to show them to a User in any needed form: in the Android Notification bar or as a timeline. Currently AndStatus shows mostly "mentions" only in its "Mentions" timeline...
@Maiyannah If you do write !GNUsocial to #Pumpio code consider implementing it as a plugin. While both #OStatus and #Pump use #ActivityStreams, it's my understanding those implementations are not compatible. So, rather than rewriting much of the GNUsocial ActivityStreams code to shoehorn in the Pump ActivityStreams, it may be cleaner to implement it as a separate plugin. It'll make GNUsocial code changes easier to merge with !postActiv and might give vanilla GNUsocial instances a means to federate with Pumpio too
An #OStatus server produces an #Atom feed of status-update messages, which are pushed to subscribers using #PubSubHubbub. Replies to status updates are sent using the #Salmon protocol, while the other features of microblogging, such as follower/following relationships are implemented as #ActivityStreams
Is this the future?
An #OStatus server produces an #Atom feed of X, which are pushed to subscribers using #PubSubHubbub. Replies/Comments/X to X are sent using the #Salmon protocol, while the other features such as follower/following/buying/staying relationships are implemented as #ActivityStreams
Change X for any thing you or your group of friends would like to share with others. This will let us go from a status-centered sharing system to a general-purpose one.
We love this idea and sincerely believe that the feature is in this way :-D

@hannes2peer Det intressanta är ju dock t.ex. om man ska attacha flera bilder. Kanske man istället för att (i notistexten, inte APIt) länka samtliga bild-URL:er bara behöver länka någon slags album-aktig grej ("collection" heter det i #ActivityStreams). Och så bygger man sitt album på något smart, intuitivt sätt.
