This is the first of probably many pull requests to add activitypub and hopefully activitystream support.
Webfinger will allow another activitypub server like mastodon to see if weasyl can "speak" activitypub it also can be used to lookup users although you will not be able to follow those, yet that will be one of the next pull requests, but all depend on this feature.
Next steps will be:
at that point weasyl would be ready to send stuff to the fediverse
inbox features would need to be discussed:
I have absolutely no idea how weasyl should render if someone from weasyl wants to follow someone on mastodon, but this isn't possible on wordpress either as far as I'm aware so maybe we don't need it that way.
I leave this as draft until we have discussed the feature here or on gitter.
