Why has #Strava not embraced #ActivityPub? It doesn't seem like at all a stretch to have the private/followers-only/everyone model map to strava.social fedi visibility.

For that matter, why aren't #Komoot or #GarminConnect jumping on the opportunity? Seems like easy way to promote both fitness and their own apps.

Why would they? Whatβ€˜s in it for them?

This. This right here. For anybody to embrace anything they have to perceive and advantage to them to do so. If you can't persuade them of such an advantage they won't do it.

@osma @fediverse those companyies do love their walled gardens.
Garmin is famous for building limited penetration walls.
I need a tool to make my fitness details portable.

Walled gardens are far more profitable than ActivityPub could ever be.

@aspensmonster

Ah, yes, Strava, the poster child of profitable walled gardens thriving because of their amazing social visibility.

You could make a addon or app which auto shares to the users activitypub accounts instead
