to be clear there are more issues than being able to represent an actor alongside a post
but the short version is that not having a proxyUrl endpoint means your client will hit CORS everywhere!

@julian Many of the hashtags that I use are not for discovery or not only. They are also or exclusively there to trigger filters.

I feel like this is the right time to mention https://xkcd.com/927/
You're very right here. There are tons of IM services. "Why introduce another one?" is a reasonable question
But I don't see it in those terms because we're not creating a new network. This is adding features to network we already have
I'll still use Signal. And Apple Messages
And I'd also like to talk privately with people here, as well. There is room for both.

Don't forget NodeBB is also based off of groups! We've increased support for it in 2025 and it's continuing to be our core focus into 2026.

That giant pile of hashtags and you don't use #ActivityPub? 😂

Yes, agreed. I know I said this before, but can't find it:
One important goal is to make a solid, consistent client-side API - something like what C2S was intended to be. That would enable interchangeable clients for mobile/desktop/etc that work with any server.. and greatly increase the trust factor.
I'm only good at making web apps, so that's what Emissary's first client will be. But there will be space for others to build on top of this work.
