@julian Hubzilla internally backfills via context. Has done so all along. Activitypub content is so far backfilled via inReplyTo traversal and the replies collection.

@julian The <bdi></bdi> tag to the rescue...

@julian i see... In general i think in distributed systems it makes a lot of sense to keep the source intact while consuming the data you need. Other projects might need to consume a different set of fields and the overhead is minimal...

@julian

yes, but they serve objects because we're radical implementors who don't do the whole activities thing sorry in advance.

What if only the activity is signed (as is often the case) and the object is not fetchable due to let's say some network error?
