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?

Anyone want to do a little #Wikipedia editathon for the #fediverse? Most of the articles are either very out of date, have incorrect information, or need clarification etc. I just added some stuff to the Spanish /fediverso page, but it could really use some work.
