What would cross-posting between instances look like in ActivityPub?
-
So you send a
Createto the primary community, and thenCrossPostto secondary communities. All comments are forwarded to the primary community. The primary communities also moderates the thread.I am understanding it correctly?
This sounds similar to a "repost" in blogo-verse.
And the current implementation (with separate entities) is more similar to quote posts.

Well... in most respects, I think you've got it. However, in my mind, a cross-post is merely an activity that references the original object. So there's no forwarding of comments to the primary community, the post belongs to the primary community, it also just happens to also belong to the secondary community.
There's no backreference for it, though, which I don't really like. It'd be better if a cross-post was approved and then the object itself updated a
crosspostscollection or something. I was toying with the idea of maybe usingOfferto signify that action, but I wasn't too invested in making it happen.
