Projects that are officially abandoned by the maintainers or with no signs of life on their code repo or any other official channels for more than a year.

* [Acorde](https://github.com/polymerwitch/Acorde) - federated social music platform. Almost a year has passed since the initial commit.

* [ActivityPub.jl](https://github.com/Matt5sean3/ActivityPub.jl) - AP support in the Julia language by [@Matt5sean3](https://rva.party/@Matt5sean3), no commits since August, 2018. Project is [missing, presumed dead](https://github.com/Matt5sean3/ActivityPub.jl/issues/1).

* [Places.pub](https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/282): AP implementation testing tool?

* [Pylodon](https://github.com/rowanlupton/pylodon) - Flask-based (Python) ActivityPub server , [source code also on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/rowanlupton/pylodon), no updates on either repo for about a year, nor on their [Smilodon client app](https://github.com/rowanlupton/smilodon).

* [Quit.im](https://quit.im) - this was a photo-sharing web client for a GNU social server, rather than a completely separate app. It would become an AP implementation when the AP plug-in for GS is done, but it's been obsoleted by the release of PixelFed.

* [Smilodon](https://gitlab.com/tuxcrafting/smilodon) (server by Tuxcraft) - abandoned by developer "I'm now [working on Sminos](https://gitlab.com/tuxcrafting/sminos/issues/1) and so this will probably be 100% abandoned. There's not much to salvage, its code is cancer." Sminos appears to have never got beyond the initial commits.

Aside from project homepages and issue trackers, and comments made on the fediverse, the [SocialWG has a list](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/ActivityPub_network) of projects they hoped would implement ActivityPub and links to issues where it's discussed. Also, there is an [implementation report on ActivityPub.rocks](https://activitypub.rocks/implementation-report/). @Mayel from Social.coop created a [web spreadsheet of AP apps](https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks) and their characteristics. More projects using AP are [profiled on We Distribute](http://wedistribute.org/) by Sean Tilley and his team. There are boards for discussing a range of [AP implementations on the SocialHub forum](https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/software/14). [Alternative.to](https://alternativeto.net/list/5696/activitypub) has a list of AP servers and client apps. The [ActivityPub tag on GH](https://github.com/topics/activitypub) is also a way to discover projects experimenting with AP.
