#ActivityPub devs should take note

@gabriel @lsn Thank you!

@hyolo Yes, it works with Husky. It had a problem with Tusky but it probably was fixed in the latest release.

List of instances: https://mitra.fediverse.observer/list
I can give you an invite code to https://public.mitra.social, which is more of a demo/testing instance.

#Mitra v2.16.0

- Full text search. The search query needs to be prefixed with ">". Only shows posts created by the current user.
- Loading latest posts from other servers (this feature is currently only available to users with 'admin' role).

@hyolo Let me know if you want to try Mitra

@juanro49 Yes!

@helge your comment didn't appear on @mikedev 's site, I suspect a federation problem

(it will probably appear once I publish this)

@trwnh

@mikedev proposed the new collectionOf property in his recent post:

@rimu @AaronNGray @julian

@julian @rimu @AaronNGray @aaronngray I think for technical discussions you can use ActivityPub terms:

- Group (= category or community)
- Note (= post)
- Reply (= object with inReplyTo property)
- Context (= conversation)

@julian @rimu @AaronNGray @aaronngray

> so why aren't we having meta-discussions on the fediverse?

Yes, why? The thought of continuing conversation in some obscure github repos seems rather strange to me.

We already have all necessary tools, right here.

@pfefferle @tallship @darnell @mattwiebe @tallship @darnelltv Confirmed. Thanks!

>I really wish there was something more akin to DID support in the ActivityPub protocol.

There is. I mean, the ActivityPub spec doesn't say anything about it, but it also does not explicitly forbid non-HTTPS identifiers. DIDs alone are probably not enough, because not all of them can carry additional information (e.g. did:key can't)

You can read about the current research in this document:

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md

Some Fediverse projects are already experimenting with these ideas: https://wedistribute.org/2024/03/activitypub-nomadic-identity/

@dansup @rabble @evan @mike @ricmac @greg @emilynguyen @Gargron

@deadsuperhero I think there is an easier way. Implementations can generate fallback representations from the standard content property and ignore the object type. I.e. we treat content property as a lowest common denominator.
Optionally, use name or summary if content is absent. This is what I'm currently doing and it works reasonably well.

Relevant Mastodon issue: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/24079 (upvote, spread the word, etc)

@kowalabearhugs Nice. Web client doesn't work (says "Anonymous TOR usage is unavailable"), but still.

Are you involved in MoneroKon organization?

@pfefferle @tallship @darnell @mattwiebe @tallship @darnelltv

This is the HTML page that is returned in response to Follow activity:

@steven Does it actually implement ActivityPub Server to Server protocol, or only Mastodon API?

@darnell @tallship @tallship WordPress account still doesn't accept activities and responds with a HTML page

Doesn't look like it is coming from the plugin.

@agates @brianoflondon I don't know if there is a connection between DIDs and webauthn/passkeys. They are different standards.

In Fediverse we are building a key-based identity system, where identities will be represented as DIDs, including did:key DIDs, but not limited to this particular identifier type.

@pfefferle Hello, have you looked into it? Is there anything I could help with?

@tallship @darnell @tallship @darnell

@kowalabearhugs I know that. I'm asking specifically about this "hackathon" which is supposedly "dedicated to Security, Privacy, & Decentralization". It is not really difficult to see a contradiction here, isn't it? Even if some participants are okay with that (because they don't understand the meaning of these words), this damages the reputation of the entire project
