As someone who creates ActivityPub services, it's often a puzzle to figure out exactly how someone else's service federates. Like, what does service X do when I send it a Delete/Note activity?
In an attempt to be a good citizen, I've drafted up a FEDERATION.md file for my fediverse event organizing service I'm working on. Here it is:
https://github.com/dariusk/gathio/blob/master/FEDERATION.md
I've also started a meta-discussion about how we might start documenting this stuff generally:

I am now compelled to make a list of movies that share songs in their soundtracks, and make extremely long, nonsensical movies that crossfade from one movie to the next as the shared songs are being played. Anyone out there got a list of movie soundtracks in some structured format?
