Is there any information anywhere on how the Flag activity is used in practice?
As ever, the spec only tells me that it exists; it doesn't say anything about what it contains, where it gets delivered to, how the recipient processes it, etc.
Maybe I could find out more by setting up some test instances and experimenting with it, or by trying to trawl through various repositories to find the relevant source code - but it seems a lot quicker to just ask.

There has been no changes in status from what I last said, because I get almost zero time to work on AP T&S. I can probably explain Flag activities better in a call or something than quickly in text.

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.

@bsky.brid.gy oooh, thank you so much! Especially allowing the repky function to accounts that are not bridged! This is amazing!
-
@bsky.brid.gy keep up the great work!

@julian I really tried. Maybe should have reached for AI. I'll look into that web+ap:// scheme, thank you!
-
@travisfw@fosstodon.org I don't blame you for not reading through the whole thread.
Suffice to say I think there is merit in using web+ap:// scheme at the browser (and possibly app) level.
PWAs can register themselves as a handler of those types (web+), and on the web side there are tricks to allow for the opening of them in the PWA or falling back to browser https.
It's worth experimentation, I think.

@julian it's complicated, isn't it. I was focusing on the narrower case of one app calling a default (or system dialog to choose) app to handle the post, rather than even necessarily involving the browser. But could one solution (somewhere in that veritably long-ass thread) serve the whole matrix of calling web->web, web->app, app->app, and app->web?
