My question is pretty simple. I want to create my own social media based on activitypub for learning purposes.

I usually prefer C or Python for programming languages, even though I'm not an expert.

The question is, would someone create a list or to-do list? What should I do?

@al1r4d what are you looking to make? Just sharing content, a bot, or a full fledged server?

@al1r4d that's somewhat complex software. I'd go with python and PostgreSQL or similar

@al1r4d you might want to have a look at #snac2 which is a very minimalistic but awesome Fediverse server, written in C. Guess, you can see several hints

@al1r4d

independent from any language, the checklist is

read the specifications in the correct order :)
This means you can read the protocol spec. first to get an overview https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
but all of these W3C recommendations have "Normative References" and you need to understand them from the bottom up first, roughly the stack is
1) https (you can use other transport mechanisms but this is common)
2) Linked Data
