Special Topic Call – ActivityPub Interop Test Suite

Hi everyone,

There has been a significant amount of conversation, activity, and demand, regarding an interoperability test suite for ActivityPub (and related specs), to help new implementations and interop with existing ones. This includes several new in-progress test suites, as well as a fediverse Group for test related posts over at https://venera.social/profile/activitypubtestsuite
