I imagine this depends on the platform to some degree, but I have an #ActivityPub question: Is the home timeline chronological on post publish or when your instance becomes aware of the post?

For context, @posts sometimes publishes a post with a publish time well in the past (like right now, for instance, the most recent post delivered to followers (just now) has a publish time which was 18 hours ago. Does this show up in your feed now, or never get seen because the feed files it away chronologically with all the other 18 hour ago posts?

@simon@bne.social the concept of a "timeline" isn't defined in ActivityPub at all, so any assumptions you can make are implementation-dependant.
For example, in NodeBB when a new post is made, the entire thread is brought back up to the top of the category, as is normal behaviour for a forum. In our "feed view" (upcoming in v4.9.0), it will behave that way too.
