**#ActivityPub support in #Madblog**

@julian Yes, to backfill a profile. It is a manual action.
I don't know who else does that, but @jonny is working on adding automatic profile backfill to Mastodon: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34597
@silverpill @julian @general Collections are one of the best parts of activitypub/streams and i have no idea why nobody uses them or works on them. like if we embraced the underlying graph structure of the data and used the canonicalization algos that have been developed in the meantime we get all the good parts of atproto (mostly efficient updating the pds system) basically for free

@silverpill @julian @general account backfilling is issue number THIRTY FOUR in mastodon and has >700 thumbs, >200 comments hemming and hawing about how possible it would be for TEN YEARS.
the solution is just "enumerate the outbox" and it's 200 lines.
like we already have a mechanism for reply controls: the reply collection.
for fine-grained post visibility: access control on the outbox collection.
broadcasting feeds and posts between instances: collections
migrations: collections
store and forward, offline-focused AP: collectionsand so on.

@julian @silverpill ActivityPub API clients dont need their server to backfill thanks to proxyURL, but Actors will look like they haven’t posted

@django@social.coop sounds like I'll have to implement it sooner rather than later!

There is a FEP in the works:

@fabio I really, really love it!! I wanted to do the same for quite a long time - but I didn't; and now maybe I can eventually steal your code and RIIR in glorious AGPL!
That said, unfortunately at the moment it's not working for me, I can't open it either in my client, or through my instance's search
FWIW, through my instance I'm seeing some "503 Remote SSL certificate could not be verified", while the client just spins a throbber endlessly. No idea where the fault lies, but I do remember reading many times that Mastodon is a flustercluck and a fishy citizen in ActivityPub 
...Anyway, huge applause from me regardless, and hopefully one day I can get to fave the actual post on the blog!
@akavel@merveilles.town thanks for your response
Did you manage to get to the bottom of it? From the description of the error it sounds like your certificate may be broken? Can you access the blog index from a normal browser? Do you perhaps have a split-domain situation (
link!=activitypub_link) but the certificate only applies to one? -
@julian@fietkau.social @liaizon@wake.st it's all live, let me know if it works

@silverpill@mitra.social @django@social.coop @hongminhee@hollo.social Okay, I implemented user outboxes for posts, votes, and shares (post edits are a little harder
)https://activitypub.space/uid/1/outbox
Hopefully I did it ok, had to re-invent some collection logic because I couldn't re-use the helper I wrote before, as that relies on a pagination cursor, which, long story short, is not at all scalable when navigating through a user inbox.
Group outboxes to follow, but just hoping for a sanity check for now.

@julian I can read the outbox and activities
There is a minor problem with
Likeactivities, which don't have atofield (this means nobody should be able to see them).And while we're at it: when NodeBB sends a signed GET request, does it add a
Digestheader? I see warnings in my log due to invalid header value.
