This is still very raw and not looking great or anything, but I'm experimenting with using the #mastodon API built into #friendica to get my #ActivityPub posts and show them on my static #eleventy website.
Because it's static, this post won't appear on it, but it should next time I rebuild.
Eventually, I want to be able to log in and reply, see my feeds, and post directly from my website. Friendica is probably overkill as a back-end, but it's what I have right now.

My current obsession has been thinking about #ActivityPub and owning my own space and data. I've been tossing around ideas for how to host my own identity on my own server/domain while still hosting a static site on the same domain, as well as decoupling that identity from any particular app or instance.
... And you know what? #atproto as used in #bluesky seems to solve all these problems (in theory - it's still in the process of being built)
I'm wondering about rigging up a static site generator to fetch statuses from Friendica/Mastodon, with some JavaScript on the individual status pages to fetch any replies / conversations.
But it's complicated.
I'm liking omg.lol's approach with a kind of static-page CMS for home and now pages, with a status log built in which posts to Mastodon (shoutout to @Prami ), but it's not the same as a website on my own domain, nor is it the same as having community interaction like on Mastodon, etc.
There is this huge, untapped potential to combine these things. But I lack the expertise and funding to build it myself, which frustrates me.
