When will HN add ActivityPub?

Question

I'd be very practical to be able to use it from within Lemmy or /kbin even if it'd be just read only. Posting comments from it would be even better.The UI is almost identical already.

Probably never? But there are a number of Hacker News Mastodon bots that people have written, here's one: https://github.com/lumenwrites/mastodon-hnbotThey could probably be adaptive for other ActivityPub formats pretty easily.

Once there is an NNTPAP bridge, this would be beneficial to NNTP users as well. I support this.

I'd expect a third party to implement it, and it become semi-official most likely. Like the algolia searchbox on the bottom of the page.That gets me thinking, does hn have opengraph tags for link previews?
