XMPP: Backup to PubSub too

[sjehuda]

Not just Nostr...

Greetings!

In XMPP, using PubSub(1) (XEP-0060), it is possible to store posts as Atom Syndication(2) entries into XMPP(3).

There are several XMPP extensions that apply it, namely XEP-0227 (4) and XEP-0472 (5) which make node urn:xmpp:microblog:0 as a common choice to manage news for client accounts (e.g. [email protected]), yet a component account (e.g. pubsub.blogo.site) may use all of its nodes for this purpose.

pubsub.blogo.site/
|
|-- updates/
    |-- Sombre
     `-- Varied
|-- releases/
 `-- events/

pubsub service/
|
|-- node/
    |-- item
     `-- item
|-- node/
 `-- node/

A go library that can be utilized would be go-xmpp.

I have made a script that realizes viewing PubSub node items as Atom XML feeds over HTTP.

1. XEP-0060: Publish-Subscribe
2. RFC 4287: The Atom Syndication Format
3. Atom Over XMPP
4. XEP-0277: Microblogging over XMPP
5. XEP-0472: Pubsub Social Feed
6. go-xmpp
7. PubSub Over HTTP

That would be really cool. I personally will look into it when I have a bit more time, but PRs are always welcome!!

I namely code in Python.

I intend to code a Lua plugin for another CMS to which we want to add this feature.

Please do let me know if I can be of assistance to you in any way.
