Bridge groups #1435

Plumbing notes: Groups in Fediverse / IndieWebEg. Lemmy has rooms / groups – they call it "community" – and these are as possible to discover through WebFinger as user accounts are, see eg: https://fedidevs.org/reference/webfinger/#app-lemmy-handle-lemmy_supportlemmyml There they identify it with: "properties": {
"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#type": "Group"
} In the IndieWeb the wiki brings up hashtags as one example of a group-style thing, but I think the best example is how one submits to news.indieweb.org using <a href="https://news.indieweb.org/en" class="u-category">#indienews</a> Originally posted by @voxpelli in #1425 (comment) |
Plumbing notes: Bridging related aspects about MatrixOn the topic of Matrix: It unlike most other standards have an official standard for bridging: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.12/application-service-api/#third-party-networks / https://spec.matrix.org/v1.12/client-server-api/#third-party-networks Instant Messaging is also only of plenty of plenty of Modules supported on Matrix: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.12/client-server-api/#modules A microblogging-style module could probably exist eventually, but already when MSC1767: Extensible events in Matrix (accepted in matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#1767) is supported one should be able to do something like this to losslessly bridge ActivityPub to Matrix with clients able to progressively enhance to use the full ActivityStreams object: {
// irrelevant fields not shown
"type": "m.message",
"content": {
"m.text": [
{ "body": "<i>Hello world</i>", "mimetype": "text/html" },
{ "body": "Hello world" }
],
"org.example.activitystreams": {
"id": "https://rhiaro.co.uk/2016/05/minimal-activitypub",
"type": "Article",
"name": "Minimal ActivityPub update client",
"content": "Today I finished morph, a client for posting ActivityStreams2...",
},
}

Thanks for filing @voxpelli, and for all the details! |
Whether a typical chat should be in Bridgy Fed is handled in #1425, but looking into eg. Matrix I realized that chat rooms are a subset of groups and groups of some kinds could be interesting to support in be in Bridgy Fed.
One concrete example would be:
Bridging IndieNews to Lemmy – bridging link aggregation groups / communities between the IndieWeb and the Fediverse.
I'm not sure whether there's any equivalent on the AT protocol yet, but eg. Matrix seems to be oriented fully around "groups" in the shape of rooms.
Some things to consider / note:
I would treat them as out of scope, compare eg. in IndieWeb explicit
<a href="https://news.indieweb.org/en" class="u-category">indienews</a>
vs implicit<span class="p-category">indienews</span>
