The minutes from this month's ForumWG minutes were just posted.
Ironically, I need to make a separate post to reference it in this group, because we have not invented federated cross-posting yet.
But soon!

Hi Nutomic, thanks for joining the forum.
While I have you, I wanted to ask you about the removal of audience from Lemmy. I believe the rationale for it was that it was not used outside of Lemmy, but both Piefed (rimu@piefed.social) and NodeBB use it.
I still think the explicit use of the audience property is more helpful than not.
I discovered another use case for it, although it is a bit of an edge case. Last night a user from lemmy.ca posted to activitypub@community.nodebb.org. Here, there are no followers to that group actor, so it did not federate here. However, one of the relays this site subscribes to did Announce the topic, and when it arrived here, NodeBB could not accurately determine whether the topic/post _actually belonged to activitypub@community.nodebb.org.
Specifically, it is because sometimes users (on Mastodon or other sites) mention group actors but don't intend for the post to be made there. It is not a strong enough signal.
But audience being explicitly set does provide that strong signal. I've updated NodeBB's code to trust the group actor if located in audience.

@carloshr as always, my best ideas are the ones that seem so obvious to me that i figure someone else surely has already had them

@jonny what a great idea! 🤯
-
what if a torrent contains self-authenticating signed activitypub objects???? what if we could jump back and forth between federation and p2p?
