I’m learning web development. I’m on databases at the moment, postgresql in particular. I thought it might be fun to try to help with a fediverse project or two, but I’m only knowledgeable about node.js, and npm, do any fediverse projects use that? I also may be diving too deep too early with this. Appreciate any feedback you guys have!

I was looking for a NodeJS Activity Pub library, and the only promising one I found looks to be only partially complete. That said, I think most Fediverse platforms use implementations in other languages: Rust (Lemmy) , PHP (Kbin), Ruby (Mastadon), etc).

Several frontends use NodeJS, though. Perhaps you can contribute there or even contribute to Actvitypub-Express to bring that to feature completion?

This is awesome info. Thanks! I’ll have to look into it. Would be an interesting side project to work on as i learn.

Pixelfed also uses PHP/Laravel in the backend
