@skyfoxx @AltCode@social.vivaldi.net I started looking into this but wasn't able to easily figure out why kbin wasn't able to find the magazine.

I'll admit I can't easily grok kbin's interface... I was able to (accidentally) add General Discussion to the list of magazines, though?

Error 404 - kbin.social

Explore Fediverse

(kbin.social)

I thought perhaps it was related to dashes not being parsed properly by their mentions matcher, but I can't be entirely sure whether the problem is on my end or theirs!

@Angus-McLeod did it just send a 400 or was there an error message involved in the response?

Edit: I added some additional debugging to the S2S validation logic. Can you try to follow @general-discussion@bb.devnull.land? That instance is my testing instance and is a little quieter.

@skyfoxx @AltCode@social.vivaldi.net I... don't know what I did, but kbin.social is down now! Oh boy.

ActivityPub user profile > Flag Profile window:

It looks to be an API call and returns {"errors":["Bad request"]}. /ap/actor/ae0fea90a57bf109abf03f47806c7285 tells nothing to end user so it would be nice to change it to something familiar for local community or Fediverse handle.

hi @julian , I wonder how search engines and SEO will work for federated posts? Let's say I published a post specific to forum-1 on forum-1, however since it is federated out, the same posts and topic can be found on 10+ more websites simultaneously... and let's assume forum-2 is higher ranked on search engines for some reasons...

when people are searching related keywords on search engines, will they be directed to forum-1? or forum-2, namely the forum that search engine favors/ranked higher?

@crazycells That's a good question, and not one I'm sure I have the answer for.

It's something I wonder about because it has been said that search engines will penalize sites that contain repetitive content. Does that mean we may see downweighting because federated content can be found word-for-word elsewhere? I don't know.

I think what might be a good practice would be for a site to refer back to the original site if available.

For example, if you inspect the source for this topic, you'll see that it contains a canonical reference:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17867/pre-alpha-activitypub-related-bug-reports?page=3" />

If this topic appears elsewhere (and it does, on the ActivityPub SocialHub), then it would be better if that site also provided a canonical reference back to community.nodebb.org, but that's not a requirement anywhere at this point in time.

That way, a search engine upon encountering a site, would be able to learn the appropriate original source and weight it accordingly.

@julian additionally, I have just checked "ActivityPub SocialHub" , my edited post is not updated there either...

and here -originally- I just made a comment in a topic, but there it looks like I opened a new topic... and with a very ugly title is this because you have adjusted it that way?
