@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org Unfortunately as these are not specified by a standard (AP2 does not make any reference to instances nor the concept of an AS service actor type being used as an instance actor) there is no universal path to resolve them. We can't even have universal properties as some software exposes the following/follower collection, some doesn't etc

@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org It's kind of annoying when they're used to sign fetches. Some software expects that you are signing the request with the actor who made the request so if you fetch a private post but it's signed with the instance actor's keys it might not hand over the object. Even more generally the concept of an "instance" is not well-defined (which is why some software does not expect instance actors to be fetching objects, only individual actors). In reality instances may have more than actor acting on behalf of the instance. The one used for forwarding reports and fetching is usually referred to as "instance actor". Misskey has a relay actor (@relay.actor) which is also part of the software and how it behaves. Misskey's instance actor is also used to send Flag activities (anonymizing reports). If I suspend a remote misskey (or fork) instance's actor then I will no longer get reports forwarded to my instance from that instance. I'm unsure of what happens if I ignore the relay actor (in fact, I'm not really sure what relay actors are used for and that kinda scares me since I know akkoma also has one). There's not much documentation on how system/service accounts behave on specific instance software (and how they behave in relation to other instance software)

@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org Yes. https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/issues/855 (citing myself lol)

@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org i think akkoma's is something like /internal/fetch

@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org yep. misskey does this differently. @instance.actor is transfem.social's actor. using base url would not work

i recommend copilot jumps off the nearest bridge

@grug@madverse.city they should make instance software with multiple domain support so you can have grug@cave.cool but still run it on the same instance

good morning fedi, how is everyone doing today? I'm okay just a bit tired

@hrefna@hachyderm.io let me know if you get one i am also out of the loop and im usually the one explaining
