## ActivityPub
Akkoma mostly follows the server-to-server parts of the ActivityPub standard,
but implements quirks for Mastodon compatibility as well as Mastodon-specific
and custom extensions.
See our documentation and Mastodons federation information
linked further below for details on these quirks and extensions.
Akkoma does not perform JSON-LD processing.
### Required extensions
#### HTTP Signatures
All AP S2S POST requests to Akkoma instances MUST be signed.
Depending on instance configuration the same may be true for GET requests.
## Nodeinfo
Akkoma provides many additional entries in its nodeinfo response,
see the documentation linked below for details.
