   Here is the good news: the work on federation seems to be progressing

   https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/1680

   I'm not sure why they use Star activity instead of Like, but it's better than nothing

     @team @helge @kik In Fediverse, Like is a class of things, rather than a specific thing. On some platforms it means "like", on others it's "favorite", and then some use it as "upvote". I think repo "stars" belong to that class too.

     The common language makes interoperability easier.

     If at some point in the future you will need to distinguish between various kinds of Like you can always add some new property.

     Here you can read about the reasons we will decide either for the one or other solution:

     Feel welcome to join the discussion here https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/2000

     In general from long history of DomainDrivenDesign I think it is a good idea to name different things different. And things are very more often different as assumed.

     But in order not to boil up the discussion Star vs. Like - we tend to the Like solution 🙂

     @silverpill @helge @team I agree, AP concepts often feel a bit off, not exactly what we need, but then again it's something we've already experienced with HTML, for example ("should it be `<em>`? should it be `<q>`?", "wait, that's not really a list!", "oh well, let's use <div> everywhere", etc).

     The real question is how much desirable is interoperability with non forge software. Personally, I would say "as much as possible", that's how we enable rich ecosystems. But I'm totally prepared to get hit in the face by reality when we're deep in implementation and we realize how much trouble it would be. 😅
