   @mauve Object IDs can't be relative. The spec requires them to be globally unique identifiers / publicly dereferencable URIs:

   https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#obj-id

   I would use url property to provide a secondary ID which can be relative. See this FEP for examples: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/fffd/fep-fffd.md

     Dang, looks like #Mastodon doesn't handle relative URIs when parsing #ActivityPub / #ActivityStreams data.

     For example I can't set the `id` of a post to be a relative URL since it loads it as raw JSON.

     This makes it harder to publish static data to #p2p
