Does anyone have experience implementing a Mastodon client? I've been reading links like https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub and https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server, but I already have a server I'm perfectly happy with. How do I authenticate with it? Just by its custom authentication methods?

I guess I'm wondering if every Mastodon server also has some non-ActivityPub API.

Comments gratefully appreciated. Please send them to me by any method of your choice and I'll include them here.
