# Activitypub API outline
|
||||
|
||||
**This document is completely outdated and doesn't reflect the current state of Lemmy at all**
|
||||
This document is targeted at developers who are familiar with the ActivityPub and ActivityStreams protocols. It gives a detailed outline of the actors, objects and activities used by Lemmy.
|
||||
|
||||
- Start with the [reddit API](https://www.reddit.com/dev/api), and find [Activitypub vocab](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/) to match it.
|
||||
Before reading this, have a look at our [Federation Overview](contributing_federation_overview.md) to get an idea how Lemmy federation works on a high level.
|
||||
|
||||
Lemmy does not yet follow the ActivityPub spec in all regards. For example, we don't set a valid context indicating our context fields. We also ignore fields like `inbox`, `outbox` or `endpoints` for remote actors, and assume that everything is Lemmy. For an overview of deviations, read [#698](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/698). They will be fixed in the near future.
|
||||
|
||||
Lemmy is also really inflexible when it comes to incoming activities and objects. They need to be exactly identical to the examples below. Things like having an array instead of a single value, or an object ID instead of the full object will result in an error.
|
||||
|
||||
In the following tables, "mandatory" refers to whether or not Lemmy will accept an incoming activity without this field. Lemmy itself will always include all non-empty fields.
