@liaizon@social.wake.st fosstodon seems to be down at the moment, but I don't believe Flarum has started their ActivityPub work, or if they have, it is not at a level for demo yet. I can't say whether the NLNet project was ever completed.

@hongminhee@hollo.social username-based IDs was incredibly short-sighted of Mastodon (and others) to adopt. Using an incrementing id or uuid is not novel, merely baseline expectation for something expected to be mutable like a username.

@lokigwyn@vintagepropagand.art yes, on NodeBB. [image: 1740597791331-1000007503.png]

@openrisk@mastodon.social not a bad idea. NodeBB actually already does this. We have a configurable max on hashtag usage, and so if a post comes in with > 5 (the default) we just remove everything after the fifth hashtag. They're still in the post content, but only the first five count in indexing, etc.

@silverpill@mitra.social I think given the addressing limitations of collections, this by-proxy method of determining who to send an as:Follow to makes sense as a stopgap measure until ActivityPub's next version...

> Doesn't this mean Mastodon users et al will no longer get boost notifications when their posts are reshared into a topic? Correct, only OP will be shared. Unless I am mistaken this is how Lemmy implemented it. Announce-ing activities only, and one single Announce(Note) for compatibility with Mastodon.
