Issue propagating Updates to Mastodon

julian

Haven't had the chance to test with other software, but sending Update(Note) via AP is accepted by Mastodon, but the resulting note isn't updated.

I thought it might be because I wasn't sending an id with my Update activity, so I started sending one, but no dice. Anyone have any other ideas?

On the upside, Update propagations work fine between NodeBB instances, so that's pretty cool.

@julian the object probably needs an updated property with timestamp

@[email protected] indeed... that's a separate issue with the link-preview plugin in NodeBB. We parse urls into nice looking boxes, but that ends up in the HTML which Mastodon faithfully tries to preserve.

@[email protected] Yes, I do know about that too!

Right now I send back the user id, not the URL. Need to do some minor refactoring to make that work.

As for whether I send back the whole handle or just strip out the domain, I think leaving it in might be better from a transparency standpoint. It's up to the implementor I think, how to stylize it.

@[email protected] but on the upside, your edit to your toot to add spaces to the mentions and urls propagated successfully back to NodeBB!

So, success! Onwards!
