@grishka @activitypub what does the service actor represent? Is it equivalent to the Smithereen instance itself?

@mariusor yes, Mastodon has one too. It's a way of saying "no user in particular". friends.grishka.me/activitypub

@grishka nice 🤝

this is mine: federated.id/

Looking at yours I wonder if there's any benefit of having a sharedInbox vs. using the service's inbox as one for the other actors on the instance.

@mariusor well, that inbox is a dummy, it's an alias to instance-wide sharedInbox. This actor only exists as a container for a public key to sign outgoing GET requests with. You aren't meant to send it any activities.
