    Gotcha. I had a feeling something around how Mastodon doesn't support ActivityPub Groups (yet?) would be where things are going on. Congrats on piefed, by the way. I'll start studying the codebase now as I'm keen to understand how server-to-server communication works more deeply than I do now. Sending Announce(?) and fetching stuff from other servers...

    When I look at the ActivityPub Note object (via curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json https://hachyderm.io/@otl/111887721960075860) I see:

    So I'm assuming an Announce was posted to the shared inboxes at lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and ttrpg.network... hmm... I better start reading!

    Hm. Some views from other Lemmy instances...

    • some Australian one: https://aussie.zone/post/6544997

    • some Dutch one: https://feddit.nl/post/10144806

    • Big ol' lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/post/11512187

    • Mastodon:

    Seems... OK...? Apart from lemmy.world (but that's running a previous release of Lemmy).

    PS from Mastodon (hachyderm.io): https://hachyderm.io/@ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org/111866487723645951

    No replies or anything because nobody subscribed to mechkeyboards from hachyderm.io. I just subscribed, though :)

    Getting old, "broken" computers running Linux was the first thing when I was about 11 or 12 years old. Then:

    1. needing a way to keep them running
    2. wanting ways to make running them easier
    3. wanting those ways to be easier/simpler

    Often this involved programming. Eventually I found out that companies pay money for this kind of thing.

    But now I'm finding it difficult to find work which aligns with those original values. Getting paid means delivering what people will pay for, not necessarily solving problems. What got me into programming is probably what will get me out of it (profesionally, anyway).
