Multiple handles for Activity Intents

That makes sense. I’ve been building out contexts for conversations, so it’s top of mind for me. But it makes sense that audience and inReplyTo might be enough. If the context is missing, I’d probably just fill in the context from the parent anyway.

@benpate@mastodon.social I think sending context makes a lot of sense, but technically context and audience used in those specific ways are not ActivityStreams "proper". Their association with topics and categories come from FEPs 7888 and 1b12, respectively.

However because I implement both of them, I would love both added to your FEP — it might mean you'll need to put a note beside each linking to their FEPs.

@julian I can do that. Both terms *are* in the Activity Vocabulary, so we're well within the spec to include them here. But yeah, it would be good to include a note that points to the FEPs where they're really defined.

Ok. More to do...

@benpate@mastodon.social while you do that, do you know any implementors that I can test against that aren't NodeBB (<img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61d.png?v=8bcefe1b72a" title="" />)?

I don't know where other apps' Intent buttons are...

@julian You can certainly use the intent buttons on Bandwagon and the Qwertylicious demo site. They're actually two different implementations, so it might be valid to try both of them.

I'm pretty sure that @pfefferle has implemented some buttons in the WordPress plugin - Matthias, do you have a demo site we can test with?

And, I know Mastodon's Activity Intent work has landed, but I'm not familiar enough with their buttons to say which is being powered by Activity Intents, or how.
