Document AP and nodeinfo extensions
And while add it point to this via a top-level FEDERATION.md document as standardised by FEP-67ff. Also add a few missing descriptions to the config cheatsheet and move the recently removed C2S extension into an appropiate subsection.

## ActivityPub
|
||||
|
||||
Akkoma mostly follows the server-to-server parts of the ActivityPub standard,
|
||||
but implements quirks for Mastodon compatibility as well as Mastodon-specific
|
||||
and custom extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
See our documentation and Mastodon’s federation information
|
||||
linked further below for details on these quirks and extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
Akkoma does not perform JSON-LD processing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Required extensions
|
||||
|
||||
#### HTTP Signatures
|
||||
All AP S2S POST requests to Akkoma instances MUST be signed.
|
||||
Depending on instance configuration the same may be true for GET requests.
|
||||
|
||||
## Nodeinfo
|
||||
|
||||
Akkoma provides many additional entries in its nodeinfo response,
|
||||
see the documentation linked below for details.

## Emoji reactions
|
||||
|
||||
Emoji reactions are implemented as a new activity type `EmojiReact`.
|
||||
A single user is allowed to react multiple times with different emoji to the
|
||||
same post. However, they may only react at most once with the same emoji.
|
||||
Repeated reaction from the same user with the same emoji are to be ignored.
|
||||
Emoji reactions are also distinct from `Like` activities and a user may both
|
||||
`Like` and react to a post.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Misskey also supports emoji reactions, but the implementations differs.
|
||||
It equates likes and reactions and only allows a single reaction per post.
|
||||
|
||||
The emoji is placed in the `content` field of the activity
|
||||
and the `object` property points to the note reacting to.
|
||||
|
||||
Emoji can either be any Unicode emoji sequence or a custom emoji.
|
||||
The latter must place their shortcode, including enclosing colons,
|
||||
into `content` and put the emoji object inside the `tag` property.
|
||||
The `tag` property MAY be omitted for Unicode emoji.
|
||||
|
||||
An example reaction with a Unicode emoji:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@context": [

||||

|
||||
}
|
||||
}]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Although an emoji reaction can only contain a single emoji,
|
||||
for compatibility with older versions of Pleroma and Akkoma,
|
||||
it is recommended to wrap the emoji object in a single-element array.
|
||||
|
||||
When reacting with a remote custom emoji do not include the remote domain in `content`’s shortcode
|
||||
*(unlike in our REST API which needs the domain)*:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@context": [
|
||||
"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
|
||||
"https://example.org/schemas/litepub-0.1.jsonld",
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@language": "und"
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"type": "EmojiReact",
|
||||
"id": "https://example.org/activities/7993dcae98d8d5ec",
|
||||
"actor": "https://example.org/users/akko",
|
||||
"nickname": "akko",
|
||||
"to": ["https://remote.example/users/diana", "https://example.org/users/akko/followers"],
|
||||
"cc": ["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"],

|
||||
"object": "https://remote.example/objects/9f0e93499d8314a9",

||||

|
||||
}
|
||||
}]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Emoji reactions can be retracted using a standard `Undo` activity:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@context": [
|
||||
"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
|
||||
"http://example.org/schemas/litepub-0.1.jsonld",
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@language": "und"
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"type": "Undo",
|
||||
"id": "http://example.org/activities/4685792e-efb6-4309-b508-ae4f355dd695",
|
||||
"actor": "https://example.org/users/akko",
|
||||
"to": ["https://remote.example/users/diana", "https://example.org/users/akko/followers"],
|
||||
"cc": ["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"],
|
||||
"object": "https://example.org/activities/23143872a0346141"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## User profile backgrounds
|
||||
|
||||
Akkoma federates user profile backgrounds the same way as Sharkey.
|
||||
|
||||
An actors ActivityPub representation contains an additional
|
||||
`backgroundUrl` property containing an `Image` object. This property
|
||||
belongs to the `"sharkey": "https://joinsharkey.org/ns#"` namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quote Posts
|
||||
|
||||
Akkoma allows referencing a single other note as a quote,
|
||||
which will be prominently displayed in the interface.
|
||||
|
||||
The quoted post is referenced by its ActivityPub id in the `quoteUri` property.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Old Misskey only understood and modern Misskey still prefers
|
||||
the `_misskey_quote` property for this. Similar some other older
|
||||
software used `quoteUrl` or `quoteURL`.
|
||||
All current implementations with quote support understand `quoteUri`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@context": [
|
||||
"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
|
||||
"https://example.org/schemas/litepub-0.1.jsonld",
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@language": "und"
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"type": "Note",
|
||||
"id": "https://example.org/activities/85717e587f95d5c0",
|
||||
"actor": "https://example.org/users/akko",
|
||||
"to": ["https://remote.example/users/diana", "https://example.org/users/akko/followers"],
|
||||
"cc": ["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"],
|
||||
"context": "https://example.org/contexts/1",
|
||||
"content": "Look at that!",
|
||||
"quoteUri": "http://remote.example/status/85717e587f95d5c0",
|
||||
"contentMap": {
|
||||
"en": "Look at that!"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"source": {
|
||||
"content": "Look at that!",
|
||||
"mediaType": "text/plain"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"published": "2024-04-06T23:40:28Z",
|
||||
"updated": "2024-04-06T23:40:28Z",
|
||||
"attachemnt": [],
|
||||
"tag": []
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Threads
|
||||
|
||||
Akkoma assigns all posts of the same thread the same `context`. This is a
|
||||
standard ActivityPub property but its meaning is left vague. Akkoma will
|
||||
always treat posts with identical `context` as part of the same thread.
|
||||
|
||||
`context` must not be assumed to hold any meaning or be dereferencable.
|
||||
|
||||
Incoming posts without `context` will be assigned a new context.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Mastodon uses the non-standard `conversation` property for the same purpose
|
||||
*(named after an older OStatus property)*. For incoming posts without
|
||||
`context` but with `converstions` Akkoma will use the value from
|
||||
`conversations` to fill in `context`.
|
||||
For outgoing posts Akkoma will duplicate the context into `conversation`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Post Source
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike Mastodon, Akkoma supports drafting posts in multiple source formats
|
||||
besides plaintext, like Markdown or MFM. The original input is preserved
|
||||
in the standard ActivityPub `source` property *(not supported by Mastodon)*.
|
||||
Still, `content` will always be present and contain the prerendered HTML form.
|
||||
|
||||
Supported `mediaType` include:
|
||||
- `text/plain`
|
||||
- `text/markdown`
|
||||
- `text/bbcode`
|
||||
- `text/x.misskeymarkdown`
|
||||
|
||||
## Post Language
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
This is also supported in and compatible with Mastodon, but since
|
||||
joinmastodon.org doesn’t document it yet it is included here.
|
||||
[GoToSocial](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/federating_with_gotosocial/#content-contentmap-and-language)
|
||||
has a more refined version of this which can correctly deal with multiple language entries.
|
||||
|
||||
A post can indicate its language by including a `contentMap` object
|
||||
which contains a sub key named after the language’s ISO 639-1 code
|
||||
and it’s content identical to the post’s `content` field.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently Akkoma, just like Mastodon, only properly supports a single language entry,
|
||||
in case of multiple entries a random language will be picked.
|
||||
Furthermore, Akkoma currently only reads the `content` field
|
||||
and never the value from `contentMap`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Local post scope
|
||||
|
||||
Post using this scope will never federate to other servers
|
||||
but for the sake of completeness it is listed here.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the usual scopes *(public, unlisted, followers-only, direct)*
|
||||
Akkoma supports an “unlisted” post scope. Such posts will not federate to
|
||||
other instances and only be shown to logged-in users on the same instance.
|
||||
It is included into the local timeline.
|
||||
This may be useful to discuss or announce instance-specific policies and topics.
|
||||
|
||||
A post is addressed to the local scope by including `<base url of instance>/#Public`
|
||||
in its `to` field. E.g. if the instance is on `https://example.org` it would use
|
||||
`https://example.org/#Public`.
|
||||
|
||||
An implementation creating a new post MUST NOT address both the local and
|
||||
general public scope `as:Public` at the same time. A post addressing the local
|
||||
scope MUST NOT be sent to other instances or be possible to fetch by other
|
||||
instances regardless of potential other listed addressees.
|
||||
|
||||
When receiving a remote post addressing both the public scope and what appears
|
||||
to be a local-scope identifier, the post SHOULD be treated without assigning any
|
||||
special meaning to the potential local-scope identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Misskey-derivatives have a similar concept of non-federated posts,
|
||||
however those are also shown publicly on the local web interface
|
||||
and are thus visible to non-members.
|
||||
|
||||
## List post scope
|
||||
|
||||
Messages originally addressed to a custom list will contain
|
||||
a `listMessage` field with an unresolvable pseudo ActivityPub id.
|
||||
|
||||
# Deprecated and Removed Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
The following extensions were used in the past but have been dropped.
|
||||
Documentation is retained here as a reference and since old objects might

### uploadMedia
|

|
||||
Inspired by <https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/ActivityPub/MediaUpload>, it is part of the ActivityStreams namespace because it used to be part of the ActivityPub specification and got removed from it.

# Nodeinfo Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
Akkoma currently implements version 2.0 and 2.1 of nodeinfo spec,
|
||||
but provides the following additional fields.
|
||||
|
||||
## metadata
|
||||
|
||||

||||
*(boolean)*
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note

|
||||
be manually approved by an admin. Account approval has no nodeinfo entry.
|
||||
|
||||
### features
|
||||
|
||||
