Hi @mayel@sunbeam.city, does Bonfire utilise the
sharedInboxvalue?I noticed this come through my nginx logs today:
128.140.127.206 - - [21/Jan/2026:19:58:04 +0000] "POST /uid/1/inbox HTTP/1.1" 500 128 "-" "https://btfree.social - Bonfire ActivityPub federation" "-"/uid/1/inboxis an endpoint specified in my user'sinbox, but that actor also sends"endpoints":{"sharedInbox":"https://activitypub.space/inbox"}, so wanted to double-check that Bonfire uses it. It should, it helps reduce the number of requests to send if multiple users belong to the same server :smile: -
@julian@activitypub.space Hi yes we send to sharedInbox when there's more than one recipient on that instance, otherwise direct to to the user's inbox.

@mayel@bonfire.cafe oh that is an interesting choice. I suppose that makes sense, I never really thought about it. NodeBB just sends to shared inbox if available.

@julian (I replied to this from Hubzilla, but it doesn't seem to have showed up, so reposting from Mastodon... sorry for the duplicate)
Yes, it does.
I think FEP-171b is the relevant spec; Mike Macgirvin's description of Conversation Containers might be relevant too.
It's running Hubzilla, which is already listed as an implementer of FEP-f228.

Hey @fentiger@zotum.net, I was debugging something @thisismissem sent me a couple days back, and in the process of doing so discovered that Zotum.net serves context with activities!
It looks to be following FEP f228, and would be one of the few implementations that serves activities. The bug related to handling context collections specifically sending activities, so that was a fun dive :smirk:
Ping @silverpill@mitra.social, the FEP could be amended to include Zotum (or whatever the software is called)

@js
Well, all of our fediverse software is in deno. For example, as user agent for Menchys we use menschys.org just like Julian said already. I would not use an external software name as user agent. Would be cool if you could update thank you.

Mm I believe the community is already addressed. Mastodon doesn't prepopulate the mention in a reply unless it is explicitly in the AP object.
