Hey #ActivityPub friends.
-
@julian@activitypub.space Just to note, @Edent's blog doesn't run on ActivityBot, it uses the WordPress plugin, so implementation details there are (presumably) not up for discussion here. But ActivityBot improvements would percolate to @colours, @openbenches etc.
@julian@fietkau.social ah
then it should support 1b12 depending on configuration!

Hey #ActivityPub friends. Are there any new ActivityPub / Mastodon features I should add to #ActivityBot?
It's a small bot-only ActivityPub server in a single PHP file.
https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/
It can be followed, post images, allow quote posts, etc.
Is there anything else you would like a bot-server to be able to do?
@Edent Not a feature, but a bug report. The ActivityPub spec doesn't spell it out super clearly, but I'm pretty sure that an Actor's Outbox should be a collection of Activities, not Objects like the single-file server uses.
So the outbox should have "type" => "Create", and the Object will specify the type it is

@samedwards Interesting. Could you point out where it says that?
(Not saying you're wrong; saying I sometimes have difficulty finding the right spec!) -

And then an example of a Create activity on a Note https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-create

@samedwards Aha! Thanks.
So does this look right to you?

http://example.viii.fi/outbox@Edent Yup, that looks like what I'd expect to see, and mirrors Mastodon as well, ie. https://mastodon.social/users/Edent/outbox?page=true

@Edent Delete and/or updating posts would be amazing. It would become a great reference implementation for basic ActivityPub interactions.

@threkk I'll have a think about how I could do that. Thanks

@Edent No, thank you for making this

It is served by an instance of your bot? The value of
inReplyToin this document is an empty string, which is not a valid URI. -

I assume if it isn't a reply, the field should be excluded?Or should it be something else?

@edent@mastodon.social I've learned that it should be excluded altogether, and not a null value

@silverpill @julian @general
Ah, I assume that `cc` should also be null if it isn't copied to anyone? -

@Edent No, thank you for making this
@threkk the bot can now send Delete messages. They're processed successfully by Mastodon.social - so I assume they work elsewhere
Will have a think about editing.
