@jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu if you're seeing Hubzilla backfill "bit by bit" it is likely doing inReplyTo traversal, which is what NodeBB does if it cannot find a resolvable context.
@david@weaknotes.com in what way, that the category is cleared out regularly? I think that happens often already with users auto-deleting their posts.
https://activitypub.academy is another example of a test instance that is regularly cleared.
Either way I take no offense if try.nodebb.org gets blocked here and there
@trwnh@mastodon.social there is, and it'd work in this case. The issue is that as the condition is evaluated, if it doesn't resolve to boolean true, then the case won't execute.
In the example above it resolves (in JavaScript, anyway) to "bar"
@trwnh@mastodon.social given that one way a context collection is discovered is via reference via a collection member itself, that's one way to define it.
Admittedly, direct access to a context collection is also a legitimate use case (e.g. a NodeBB topic URL itself is the context collection), so something more explicit might be required.
> Doesn't this mean Mastodon users et al will no longer get boost notifications when their posts are reshared into a topic?
Correct, only OP will be shared. Unless I am mistaken this is how Lemmy implemented it. Announce-ing activities only, and one single Announce(Note) for compatibility with Mastodon.
