@david@weaknotes.com in what way, that the category is cleared out regularly? I think that happens often already with users auto-deleting their posts.
https://activitypub.academy is another example of a test instance that is regularly cleared.
Either way I take no offense if try.nodebb.org gets blocked here and there
> 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.
@fuina@mastodon.social ActivityPub protocol does not specify anything with regards to account and data portability.
Mastodon supports migration of the follower collection.
The data portability document you linked is a work in progress by some very smart people at the Social Web Incubator Community Group.
@silverpill@mitra.social when discussed with Nutomic about this, I made the case that 1b12 is excellent for synchronization. 7888 (and 171b, etc.) are good for backfill, in cases where there is no 1b12 implementation available.
