Idle thought re: account delegation (community.nodebb.org)

I've been toying with the idea of using OAuth2/OpenID and the C2S API to have a service act on behalf of another instance (e.g. act on Lemmy, post as Mastodon account)

But now I'm wondering whether that kind of complexity is needed... one could theoretically register a public key to the instance it is acting on behalf of, and simply sign activities using the ID of the other server... Second server would need only update the actor with the new public key for verification purposes...

@julian @pfefferle onepage.pub uses it, the ap command-line tool uses the FEP. The new checkin tool I'm working on uses it. It'd be great to see more implementations.

evan@cosocial.ca that's cool, so hopefully I'll have something to test against besides another NodeBB server 😁
