I'm building a "Movim-Streams" fusion site. I had the idea after reading about the "XMPP-ActivityPub" bridge. I'm not sure how that is supposed to work, and I don't believe it is yet? I tried it. The thing is that Movim allows anyone with an XMPP account to log in. so you could have an XMPP account daveyboy@example.com and log in on
https://darkposh.com/ The problem with this is an AP solution on darkposh.com and handle it for daveyboy@example.com, or whatever user. Routing isn't going to work. So it looks like they are convoluting the AP links (Movim didn't make the AP bridge, it's a product of Libervia) i'd have to go read it again but it's like they want to use the pubsub server in the AP link? I think? so something like daveyboy@example.com@darkposh.com - that's not exactly it but i think that's the gist. I think issue with this is darkposh then "owns" the AP posts of daveyboy. if he goes to another movim instance then it doesn't follow, and i don't see how they can keep it straight, unless of course daveboy has the Libvervia code on his XMPP server. or Movim i guess? They say it's an xep standard that's approved but not yet published, so I guess we will get the details soon. At the moment it's over my head how it's supposed to work.
Anyhow, I had the idea of merging streams and movim into one, like a marriage. So you can use XMPP or AP/streams and it's all together. AP Stuff comes across the wire and is handled by streams, xmpp stuff comes across the wire and is handled by prosody (ends up in Movim).
The contacts from streams and movim appear together, maybe some have AP and some XMPP and some BOTH. And you can go compose a message and send it to all, or AP or XMPP or specific person (there is CHAT but maybe you want to send something more like an email instead? i dunno). So the contacts are all co-mingled. And the news feed shows the streams feed and the xmpp blog posts together as one feed.
That's my idea anyhow. So far I've worked on Postgres DB in streams, since Movim "works better" with Postgres (they recommend it). Streams works great with postgres, i haven't seen any issues yet. I worked out the case-insensitive search issues and updated the schema a bit, and put in a pull request on the codeberger site.
