lol the nuances I find when developing for activitypub ...
I found out #mastodon resolve the ids of the create activities , e.g. https://mastodon.ie/users/IanOB/statuses/116185301517466965/activity
but #pixelfed does not (e.g https://pixelfed.social/p/mahop/935715884483618042/activity) and these are the actual ids that come in the object.
What is more interesting is that you can actually announce create activities, and mastodon fallback to actually "boosting" but not notifying the creator as boosted. Other people would see it properly.

Anyway, #fediprofile supports boosting #pixelfed now

@mapache@hachyderm.io oh! I can probably shed some light on the latter!
- In the threadiverse, announcing a create activity is one part of how communities stay in sync.
- Threadiverse implementations don't usually Announce the direct object, that's a microblog thing
- The community itself sends the Announce, not a user, so Mastodon handling it but not notifying the user actually makes sense
These clues suggest this was Mastodon specific code to handle threadiverse style activities!
I wonder if I am right :male-scientist:

@julian interesting! thanks for sharing. Is the threadiverse forums like nodebb or lemmy?

@mapache@hachyderm.io yes that's correct, Lemmy, Piefed, NodeBB, and Mbin.

NodeBB now sneaks in a mention to the category/community, and this gets pre-filled in the Mastodon composer.
I tested it against piefed's crust instance, and the response from Mastodon to my post on NodeBB successfully made its way to crust for distribution :tada:

@julian Love to hear it 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy what! NodeBB has been sending out preview for quite awhile now, but there are exactly zero receivers. Mastodon doesn't support it.
I think with this change BridgyFed would be the first one.
