I'm trying to learn more about the protocol, and after years of being around in the fediverse there's obviously areas where the protocol could improve. I was reading some of the fep documents and there are really good proposals. How long for these to be part of the protocol? Last update was 2018.

Expect AP updates to be rare, just like other protocols

Literally one of the reason for the existence of this thread.

I absolutely see the problem, but making users host their own server to host their actor profile and posts is just too complicated. I mean why not just host the whole AP server then... Additionally it reminded me a lot of Activity Pods

Hosting data yourself wouldn't be required, but it would become an option.
You'd have the option of leaving your identity on your home server, or a separate domain/website, or host your data and identity but use another instance to federate.
Though, designing UX for this will be an interesting challenge.
