[@silverpill@mitra.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/silverpill%40mitra.social) 302/307 is also fine by me. Probably safer from being accidentally cached and may be more appropriate in this situation.

[@rimu@piefed.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/rimu%40piefed.social) yes, that's right. I'm specifically referring to object _urls_ though, which tend to be more user facing.

[@evan@cosocial.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/evan%40cosocial.ca) this was to ask the mentioned parties for Ghost and Discourse to implement. I mentioned you to keep you in the loop because task forces achieve nothing without implementors doing the work.

Wanted to start a convo with [@johnonolan@mastodon.xyz](https://community.nodebb.org/user/johnonolan%40mastodon.xyz) from Ghost and [@angus@socialhub.activitypub.rocks](https://community.nodebb.org/user/angus%40socialhub.activitypub.rocks) from Discourse about AP resource discovery. A common use case from fediverse users is to be linked out to a site, and attempt to "bring it in" to their local instance/app of choice. This is done by taking the browser URL and pasting it into their site/app's search bar, or equivalent. For example: * Ghost: https://activitypub.ghost.org/warp-factor-5-mr-sulu/ * Discourse: any forum topic For context, last night I discovered that Ghost's latest blog post didn't make it into NodeBB, due to a bug on my end. I attempted to resolve it via URL but there was no AP resource at that URL. I ended up having to query the instance actor (which I _happened to already know_), and looking at the outbox. To my knowledge there is **no way** to find a Discourse post or topic's AP resource ID without having a local Discourse account. Would it be possible for you to send back an `HTTP 301 Moved Permanently` (or similar) if the `Accepts` header contains one of the AP-related types? N.B. This probably has some overlap with [@evan@cosocial.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/evan%40cosocial.ca)'s [HTTP Discovery Task Force](https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-html-discovery/#url-as-input), a 308 is recommended there.

[@freamon](/user/freamon%40community.nodebb.org) oh! You're right on the money. For whatever reason, Lemmy _always_ checks `audience` even though it doesn't need to. I brought this up [for discussion in their github](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5278), and it resulted in [@nutomic@lemmy.ml](https://community.nodebb.org/user/nutomic%40lemmy.ml) [removing parsing of `audience` altogether](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5315)! So this might actually be a moot point once more Lemmy instances update, but I am not 100% sure.

[@eeeee](/user/eeeee%40community.nodebb.org) Thanks, can you open an issue about this? I'll have to see what Lemmy expects for a new submission.

[@eeeee](/user/eeeee%40community.nodebb.org) I'm not actually sure about it, but I think all you have to do is mention the community. In fact, you did in your reply, and I don't actually know what would happen normally. Perhaps it has to be a root post.

[@Kichae](/user/kichae%40community.nodebb.org) [@eeeee](/user/eeeee%40community.nodebb.org) that is my approach as well. I was tired of having to maintain so many accounts for "social media", and so when I was finally able to make NodeBB my **primary** gateway to social media that was a big step for me. It doesn't hurt that I get way more engagement on the open social web

[@rikudou](https://community.nodebb.org/user/rikudou) maybe? Nullish coalescing sounds really cool, but I've avoided it for years because of browser compatibility. Node has had support forever (since v14, I've discovered), but I just don't know how to use it is all

In a bit of code that is too clever for my own good, I collapse `to` and `cc` into a single deduplicated array with: `const recipients = new Set([...object.to, ...object.cc]);` Which of course assumes that both properties are iterable. That has now been changed to an even clever-er (and less readable): `const recipients = new Set([...(object.to || []), ...(object.cc || [])]);`

[@dansup@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/dansup%40mastodon.social) thanks, PR opened! https://github.com/fedidb/communityDB/pull/23

Hey [@dansup@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/dansup%40mastodon.social), can I poke you about getting NodeBB on FediDB? It automatically [picked up a couple NodeBB sites](https://fedidb.org/network/instance/community.nodebb.org), so I think the nodeinfo stuff is working, just not sure if it required some manual intervention on your end to get the software link working — it currently 404s. Cheers

[@shoppingtonz@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/shoppingtonz%40mastodon.social) if edits from PieFed aren't reflected here that may be a bug.

[@kirk@social.coop](https://community.nodebb.org/user/kirk%40social.coop) just wanted to drop a note that your two issues have not been forgotten

[@david@weaknotes.com](https://community.nodebb.org/user/david%40weaknotes.com) in what way, that the category is cleared out regularly? I think that happens often already with users auto-deleting their posts. https://activitypub.academy is another example of a test instance that is regularly cleared. Either way I take no offense if try.nodebb.org gets blocked here and there

[@freamon](https://community.nodebb.org/user/freamon) thanks! Happy to look into handling `Create(ChatMessage)`... I think the error aside, NodeBB would drop it anyway since `ChatMessage` isn't an expected post type.

For awhile now we've hosted https://try.nodebb.org as our demo instance for people to see a plain NodeBB instance. I have added a federated category on that instance now. You can of course still make test posts to this instance, but you can also feel free to fill [@federated@try.nodebb.org](https://community.nodebb.org/user/federated%40try.nodebb.org) with garbage instead Please note that the "try" instance of NodeBB is reset every 24 hours, which means all follow relationships, content, etc. will only last at most that long. If you follow the category or an account on that instance, those categories/users will "forget" you followed them.

> Doesn't this mean Mastodon users et al will no longer get boost notifications when their posts are reshared into a topic? Correct, only OP will be shared. Unless I am mistaken this is how Lemmy implemented it. `Announce`-ing activities only, and one single `Announce(Note)` for compatibility with Mastodon.

[@nutomic@lemmy.ml](https://community.nodebb.org/user/nutomic%40lemmy.ml) thanks for the update! That's awesome to hear
