    @julian no, mastodon doesn't use salmon anymore, not since a long time ago. they switched to websub then activitypub direct delivery.on the indieweb side, salmention is an extension to webmention, where upon receiving a webmention where someone replied to you, you add that reply to your html then send a webmention up the reply chain to whoever you replied to, and they will fetch your html and find the new downstream reply, add it to *their* html, send a webmention upstream, and so on.

    In general that's a good idea because you should never trust content coming from somewhere else (even in an S2S context) For reference, NodeBB literally sanitizes the bejeezus out of what it gets from anywhere. All classes are removed, all attributes are removed. I want it as close to semantic HTML as possible, and classes/attributes mean absolutely nothing because: I don't use the same CSS classes Attributes may not follow my own rules for when and where they are added. For example, Mastodon messes with any URL it federates out. It chops the anchor text in half, hides the rest behind invisible or something, and adds an ellipsis. invisible does something different in NodeBB, so there is a CSS conflict here. I strip everything and just show the URL as it was intended.

    At Piefed office hours, rimu@piefed.social and I got to talking about what's next for Piefed and the Threadiverse WG. One of those things is moving stuff between communities (or in bbs parlance: moving topics between categories/forums). Rimu suggested we use the already-existing as:Move activity, sent by the community (a group actor), with origin and target set, and with object being the post id itself. I suggested we update this to use the resolvable context collection as object instead, which Piefed has supported since v1.2. That should be enough to get a proof-of-concept implementation going between Piefed and NodeBB... a question remained as to whether this should be Announce(Move(Object)) or simply Move(Object). Argument for former was that it was similar verbiage to other 1b12 actions. Argument for the latter was that this is merely 1b12 adjacent and needn't follow prior art. We'll likely put together an FEP for this.

    Yes I'm fine with that. It doesn't make much difference in the end.
