Actions & Federation

Cloudillo’s event-driven action system and federation architecture. These documents explain how users perform actions (posting, following, connecting), how actions are distributed across the network, and how independent instances communicate.

Core Subsystems

Action Tokens

Cryptographically signed events representing user activities and interactions. Actions enable event-driven communication between nodes in a federated network.

    • Content Actions - Posts, reposts, comments, reactions, endorsements
    • Communication - Direct messages and conversations
    • Metadata - Statistics, acknowledgments, file sharing

Federation

Cloudillo’s federated architecture enables independent instances to communicate, share content, and enable collaboration while maintaining user sovereignty and privacy.
