Thank you for sharing this article providing history and details about cartography and their handling as public good.
Also, I have a question: how do you share posts from Diaspora* to pump.io, and probably the reverse ? I am interested in that :)
I could didn't see anything like that there as pointed by JanKusanagi , but I may not have looked deeply enough: http://pumpio.readthedocs.org/en/latest/clients.html

Some people use the spigot tool to auto-post to Pump from their Diaspora RSS feed. I don't think you can auto-post to Diaspora in this way, since they still don't have an API.

Ah, thank you. So it was indeed on the tool page you showed me :)
I was missing the conclusion that could arise from the features...
This is actually something that is in upstream development right now. There's been loads of progress with implementing OpenID Connect and setting up a number of API routes for third-party clients. So, hypothetically it wouldn't be long to officially allow to cross-posting to Diaspora.
