<![CDATA[Quick question to all #activitypub and #atproto experts:]]>Quick question to all and experts:

Would it theoretically be possible to host a web server + database that serves both as an AP server as well as a PDS for atproto? 🤔

It's specifically not a protocol translator, but rather a "what if we had a AT Protocol PDS shaped thing in the AP universe. Like how can C2S DX be improved? Can it even be improved?

Thanks for the suggestion, Emelia! Yeah, this looks pretty close to what I imagine.

Another user shared your repo https://github.com/ThisIsMissEm/activitypds, does this have a similar goal or does it focus more on the auth side of things?

For instance Wafrn is exactly this. There's also one that does the same but from a AT Protocol perspective, translating lexicons into ActivityStreams 2 objects.

Appreciate any advice (or hints to self-hostable tools, that might already exist) 🙂

Essentially, I just want to create short micro posts; they get saved to my db and are then both available as posts on Mastodon as well as Bluesky (no crossposting).
