One of my issues with ActivityPub is that there is no such thing as a cut-down completely static AP feed for blogs. I want Mastodon users to be able to follow my static blog but I don't want to implement the machinery to have full interactivity.

Basically an RSS bridge would work fine. I know such things already exist but it would be cool if it was built into AP.

Right now I just manually post my blog post to my Mastodon account which is perfectly fine.

ActivityPub can be implemented as static files. You do end up with a lot of duplication because activities contain objects, and you need separate URLs for each.

This is an issue with Mastodon (and most of other software that implements only the push-based processing of inbox), but there is nothing on ActivityPub that prevents a client to directly read the actor's outbox.

As a matter of fact, I am working on a fork of a elk right now that is meant to function as a pull-based reader of AP data, so pretty soon you will be able to have your SSG generate an outbox for you and I would get all updates, boost it, etc
