@julian @silverpill ActivityPub API clients dont need their server to backfill thanks to proxyURL, but Actors will look like they haven’t posted 😢
-
@silverpill @julian @general account backfilling is issue number THIRTY FOUR in mastodon and has >700 thumbs, >200 comments hemming and hawing about how possible it would be for TEN YEARS.
the solution is just "enumerate the outbox" and it's 200 lines.
like we already have a mechanism for reply controls: the reply collection.
for fine-grained post visibility: access control on the outbox collection.
broadcasting feeds and posts between instances: collections
migrations: collections
store and forward, offline-focused AP: collectionsand so on.

@silverpill @julian @general Collections are one of the best parts of activitypub/streams and i have no idea why nobody uses them or works on them. like if we embraced the underlying graph structure of the data and used the canonicalization algos that have been developed in the meantime we get all the good parts of atproto (mostly efficient updating the pds system) basically for free

@silverpill @julian@activitypub.space I believe @hollo does it as well.

@julian Yes, to backfill a profile. It is a manual action.
I don't know who else does that, but @jonny is working on a adding automatic profile backfill to Mastodon: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34597
-
@silverpill@mitra.social I recall Mitra may be one of a select few 😝
Do you use it to backfill a profile? How often do you query the outbox?
-
If you investigate NodeBB's actors, all of their outboxes return an empty OrderedCollection because I simply haven't gotten around to it yet, and I don't know many implementations that read it.
I read from outboxes all the time. But I can't do that with NodeBB 😢
