NodeBB-ActivityPub Bridge Test Instance

@jenniferplusplus @damon we will only make AP applications cheaper if we remove the process logic from the server and make them simple message routers, but @trwnh already convinced me that in doing so we are no longer talking AP strictu sensu. This means we will have to admit to ourselves that AP instances will never be properly decentralized and always fall into a power-law curve - few huge instances, many micro instances.

@trwnh @jenniferplusplus @damon

hosting text is cheap on the condition that things are pull based and you can have low requirements for uptime, like RSS.

A typical AP microblogging network will not be cheap to keep online the moment you get 10000 accounts following 100 different remote accounts.

Also, serving the media is the least of the problems. Keeping a synced timeline for each user is far more complex.
