# Federation
|
||
|
||
## ActivityPub
|
||
|
||
Mobilizon uses [ActivityPub](http://activitypub.rocks/) to federate content between instances. It only supports the server-to-server part of [the ActivityPub spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/).
|
||
|
||
It implements the [HTTP signatures spec](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cavage-http-signatures-12) for authentication of inbox deliveries, but doesn't implement Linked Data Signatures for forwarded payloads, and instead fetches content when needed.
|
||
|
||
To match usernames to actors, Mobilizon uses [WebFinger](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7033).
|
||
|
||
## Instance subscriptions
|
||
|
||
Instances subscribe to each other through an internal actor named `relay@instance.tld` that publishes (through `Announce`) every created content to it's followers. Each content creation share is saved so that updates and deletes are correctly sent to every

### Event
|
||
|
||
The vocabulary for Event is based on [the Event object in ActivityStreams](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-event), extended with :
|
||
|
||
* the [Event Schema](https://schema.org/Event) from Schema.org
|
||
* some properties from [iCalendar](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545), such as `ical:status` (see [this issue](https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon/issues/320))
|
||
|
||
The following properties are added.

||

#### repliesModeration

Disabling replies is [an ongoing issue with ActivityPub](https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/319) so we use a temporary property.
