@Scott M. Stolz

Oh, interesting. So if you follow an ActivityPub contact on multiple clones, their platform would receive multiple copies of that post. But their platform would look at the meta data and know it is a duplicate.

No, they will just get duplicate posts from separate authors...

@Scott M. Stolz the hub where you compose a message sends the message to your followers and sends a sync packet to the clone. When the clone receives the sync packet it will also send the message to your followers from that location. So as long as the clone is up and running it will not make a difference to which location the AP contact is connected. If a location goes down, the AP contacts connected to that location will stop receiving messages though.

@Scott M. Stolz hubzilla has no support yet for move activities. Anyway, i do not think it makes sense to send a move activity in case you change primary.
It would probably make sense if you delete a location but still have other locations you could move your connections to

@silverpill thanks for the heads up @silverpill, the issue was still present and i just pushed a fix

@Scott M. Stolz i can only talk for Hubzilla 10 which will get support for conversation containers according to fep-171b.

I'd feel safer if Sharkey, et al. were to attempt the request with the instance actor (to preserve privacy), but failing that, make the request with the expected user id.

That is what Hubzilla does...

Hubzilla 9.4.3
- Discard Add/Remove activities (Hubzilla 10 and (streams) compatibility)
- Fix HQ channel activities icons
- Fix saved search icons

@julian

promote the "Open Original Page" button

This will only work for as:public

Hubzilla 9.0 is here and delivers many improvements under the hood and at the UI level. Two of the most asked  features have been implemented: repeats a.k.a. boosts and adjustable theme colors at the channel and site level. Hubmins can also customize other components via the bootstrap sass variables.

Under the hood we implemented a short term object cash which will improve performance when fetching objects. The internal use of ActivityStreams1 has been deprecated in favor of ActivityStreams2. Object integrity proofs (EddsaSignatures) according to fep-8b32 have been implemented. Interesting for developers: CI and the test environment have been vastly improved.

Other notable changes are: refactored browser to browser encryption using the modern sodium crypto library and support for custom emojis with configurable emoji sets.

For a complete list of changes in Hubzilla 9.0 please refer to the changelog.

A big THANK YOU! to all contributors and everybody who supports Hubzilla and its development.
