> I don't quite understand what "its own context" means here. This line was lifted from an earlier draft where additional examples of defining ones own context, removing a context, or inheriting a context, is spelled out explicitly. I realized after drafting that that was already more or less described in 7888 and so brevity won out. I will need to reword that.

I also think that backfill will have a side effect of connecting the threadiverse and the rest of the fediverse. Exposing context collections will mean consumers will be able to see both *verses. Once Mastodon starts consuming them I predict you will start seeing much more engagement from the microblogs. The same would apply if Piefed or Lemmy begin consuming them as well. That is an angle I had not even considered until now!

You're right! NodeBB serves an outbox but doesn't put anything in it. Happy to work towards rectifying it... It just didn't seem to break anything and you're honestly one of the first who even noticed

On the Activity Intents FEP, there was a fair bit of discussion about how to do the namespaces. Using the W3C website was not my first suggestion, but was recommended by others in the community.It’s a little clunky, but it is short and is tied to a domain that probably isn’t going to go away. If there is another better standard to follow, I’m all in.@julian @evan @thisismissem

That's a really good question, I am not actually aware of any list of software implementing the ActivityPub API. silverpill@mitra.social and steve@social.technoetic.com may have some leads.
