@mario@hub.somaton.com of course I think I will need to register a test account on Hubzilla and debug this.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net Right, there's a possible social engineering vector at play here, which I think makes this a little concerning. I certainly don't like my time wasted either cc @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @mariusor@metalhead.club

@eeeee it is likely due to audience. So, what happens on your end is you make a topic and mention the Lemmy community. When NodeBB federates that post out, the Lemmy community is included in the mentions, but it also specifies your category 18, World Chat, in audience. If Lemmy sees that, and it doesn't know about that community already, it will drop the activity immediately. If it does, then it will likely slot the post into the "World Chat on isurg.com" community on that Lemmy instance. Lemmy removed audience checking, so this might be a non-issue. Once that Lemmy instance updates to the latest version, it'll hopefully post to the correct community. That's a tricky one, though, because which community should it post to? "Medicine" on mander.xyz, or "World Chat" on isurg.com?

@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org glad to hear it! I'm planning to continue working on improving our ActivityPub integration in 2025, hopefully with NLNet funding again

@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.

> 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.
