@Gargron any plans to focus on improving Mastodon's compatibility with plain ActivityPub services?

@mariusor What do you mean by plain ActivityPub services?

@Gargron apologies, this is not the best way to get my point across.

I have an example in this ticket: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i
Basically a frontend to an activitypub service enables webfinger (to accomodate Mastodon and other services that use it for actor discovery), but the actors themselves belong to a different service (IRIs on a different domain) which doesn't expose webfinger.

The discussion in the ticket seems to have gotten off track into a different direction that I'm unclear on. 1/2

@Gargron another one I just thought about is how Mastodon posts polls/questions, by having a "Question" activity as an object in a "Create" activity.

To my knowledge that's not in accordance to the spec (not fully against it either tbh) but my understanding of section 6.2.1 is that Create is needed only for creating "Objects", not activities. The former just get send to the inbox/outbox verbatim. (to me this seems more logical)
