FEP-fffd: New draft using url and Link, plus merging instructions #99

arnelson commented 2023年05月15日 23:29:37 +02:00

This is an extensive update to FEP-fffd:

• Proxy links are now Links in url with "rel": "alternate" or "rel": "canonical". The new @context entries have been removed entirely.
• Protocols are determined by URI scheme and/or mediaType, not an explicit protocol URI.
• Added ATProto, DID, Secure Scuttlebutt, RSS, Atom, and ActivityPub to the list of well-known protocols.
• Specified that only bare NIP-19 identifiers can be used in Nostr URIs.
• Added a section to explain the merging "algorithm", mostly the situations in which merging breaks down and should be skipped.
• Removed references to Zot, since no bridging is needed for Zot.
• More clarity about which sections are normative.
• Added a reference to proxies for moved ActivityPub posts, which seems like an ideal use case not considered before.

This is an extensive update to FEP-fffd: - Proxy links are now `Link`s in `url` with `"rel": "alternate"` or `"rel": "canonical"`. The new `@context` entries have been removed entirely. - Protocols are determined by URI scheme and/or `mediaType`, not an explicit `protocol` URI. - Added ATProto, DID, Secure Scuttlebutt, RSS, Atom, and ActivityPub to the list of well-known protocols. - Specified that only bare NIP-19 identifiers can be used in Nostr URIs. - Added a section to explain the merging "algorithm", mostly the situations in which merging breaks down and should be skipped. - Removed references to Zot, since no bridging is needed for Zot. - More clarity about which sections are normative. - Added a reference to proxies for moved ActivityPub posts, which seems like an ideal use case not considered before.

@alexgleason fyi if you want to update Mostr to use the real FEP-fffd syntax then this is probably it, hopefully there won't be more incompatible changes (no guarantees though)

I'm going to update. let me test that this remains compatible with Mastodon, Pleroma, and Misskey.

Mastodon and Misskey don't seem to mind the changed url field, but Pleroma drops the entire post. I've tried a few different ways and can't satisfy Pleroma. My code is here: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/mostr/-/merge_requests/60/diffs

Pleroma rejects it because it validates that link.href is http or https.

@alexgleason Would Pleroma accept it if the Links were given a different, custom type, like Proxy?

No, it validates the url field like that. I could be a Link under a different field, but there's no way to make it work with the url field unless Pleroma updates their code.

Looks like there's already a fix for Pleroma: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/merge_requests/3884

Nice job @arnelson!

I will wait a little bit before updating the bridge.
