NodeBB-ActivityPub Bridge Test Instance

@BeAware Basically you would get access to all posts like in Twitter and Bluesky (via searches or your various timelines) vs the somewhat fragmented access to posts in Mastodon. Sorry if I'm not explaining this well. I'm basically talking about discoverability.

@BeAware No worries, I always appreciate positive interactions on Mastodon. This has been so much better than the Twitter days.

Though on a debatable question: would you prefer a single image of all posts visible to each user or the current "federated" view?

@BeAware We're talking about different things. See my original post.

@BeAware You can't like or boost a post without switching to its instance.

@BeAware Perhaps discoverability. Since #ActivityPub is not a single image of all posts, we need a better way to find posts we're interested in. Also, there should be less friction in engaging with another server; currently, you need to switch to that instance before you can interact with a post.

I'm curious about the scholar.social instance. It appears their local timeline isn't open to the public? Am I getting this wrong?
