Federation things to implement later

[Nutomic]

Just a list of things that might be useful to implement later, but wont be implemented for the initial release.

various

• create a comment view under /comment/1, which is identical to the comment's apub id (Add /comment/123 in UI lemmy-ui#505)
• federate url of RSS feed for user/community (not clear that this is really needed, you might follow rss feed via federated instance)
• Get rid of user and community refetch logic, add Update to accepted objects, and push those updates (including mod lists, user avatar changes, etc to other instances).
  • Update/Community added, but we still need the refetch logic, at least for compatibility with other projects
• include reason in Remove activities
• Comment create/update activity should include the creator of the parent post/comment in cc
• http endpoints for post, community etc should only return local objects
• properly federate images
• write documentation
• support different timezones Handle timezones #594 (fine as we are using UTC everywhere)

moved to #1220

• pagination for collections
  • not needed, our only collection (community outbox) is limited to 20 items
• add comments collection for posts to optimise loading (peertube example)
  • not necessary for now
• outbox for community and user
  • community outbox added, but only includes limited number of posts, no votes or comments
• ignore incoming activities that are not public
• generate proper IDs for activites and implement routes for them (eg /federation/activity/something)
• use proper context
• convert text to html, put markdown into a seperate field
• store and use URLs discovered from remote actors, instead of assuming everything is Lemmy (inbox, outbox, sharedInbox, followers) (see Discover sharedInbox #808)
• implement tombstone for user
• make sure that our implementation follows the activitypub spec
• accept activities both via /c/{community_name}/inbox and sharedinbox (same for user)

I moved most of these tasks to #1220. Maybe the rest should also go into separate issues, because this is too broad.
