1b12 vs Guppe groups
-
You're not wrong. I would make a PR to mastodon, but I fear it would languish in review for years. There has to be a better solution to this though.
I have updated NodeBB (
develop, so v4.1 whenever it drops) so that it conforms with 1b12 per spec:- Only activities will be
Announce'd - The plain object will be
Announce'd if the activity is of typeCreate, and it is the top level post
- Only activities will be

> a PR to Mastodon
@angus@socialhub.activitypub.rocks I would hold off on that in favour of a PR to introduce
contextserving and consumption (a la 7888). There are still some issues to work through, but I intend to have it upstreamed (via @frequency@frequency.app) once we settle on a semi-final implementation. -

I would advise not to outright open a PR to Mastodon, but reach out to us first and discuss what can be done, and what the plan for action should be.
We want to solve this problem of replies, but it has many complex impacts (how do we represent a conversation in Mastodon ? What about backward compat ? What is required on upgrading ?)
A contributor is working on improving reply fetching (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/32615) and we are making slow progress, but I guess this is orthogonal to those other
context-related RFCs.I am not an ActivityPub expert and not the best person to discuss this, but we can have a call together and see what needs to be done to improve the situation in Mastodon.

Hello @renchap, thanks for following up. I think the way to tackle this is a version of the following:
- We agree on a normative approach to the use of
context. <--- Discourse, NodeBB, Wordpress and others essentially agree on this already, but it would be helpful to clarify and include folks from Mastodon. - We develop a generalised implementation agenda. Generalised, but with the needs of different platforms in mind.
- Individual implementers adapted the generalised implementation agenda to their specific circumstances. However that works with their individual development cycles / practices.
I suggest we start work on 1 and 2 now and discuss them both further in person at the next Threadiverse Working Group meeting at the start of March. The group was set up to address these questions.
@devnull @trwnh @pfefferle If you're on board with this, let's seize this rare opportunity of having the relevant players involved and finally settle this question so we can move forward. If so, could one of you please start a new topic in #activitypub:threadiverse-wg addressing where we're currently at with 1 as you're both better across this currently than I am.

Doesn't this mean Mastodon users et al will no longer get boost notifications when their posts are reshared into a topic? If you’re never actually resharing the post itself, this prevents cleanly tracking all
shares. -

It's odd because it doesn't work with NodeBB (I woke up this morning missing 4 replies); pulling one should've gotten all of them but I had to pull them one by one (and one of @trwnh@socialhub.activitypub.rocks's still can't make it in).
Sounds like an issue with me, but I'll take a closer look this morning.

@angus@socialhub.activitypub.rocks will do. There has been some movement on this recently and I'd love to keep it going (and keep Mastodon in the loop).
@renchap@oisaur.com, not to worry, I don't plan on making a PR without running it by your team first. I know these things take discussion
I have my own thoughts on Jonny's reply collection backfill, although I will put those thoughts to paper later on.

This is likely related to the problem I described in another thread:

Correct, only OP will be shared. Unless I am mistaken this is how Lemmy implemented it.
Announce-ing activities only, and one singleAnnounce(Note)for compatibility with Mastodon.
