Comment on What are the activity_id formats for various platforms?
admiralpatrick@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI believe you can, yeah, and I also think that “bootstraps” that instance to yours if it doesn’t already know about it. But in that case, the way I have the search written, it’ll “fall back” to regular search which also does resolveObject. That just takes longer.
The ap_id check is just to short-circuit that behavior to avoid the lengthy, often unnecessary, search and quickly redirect you to your instance’s local copy.
Have had that working for about a week now, and it’s pretty nice. Please do steal this feature lol.

I believe it bootstraps the object, not the instance. You still won’t be able to find an object from an instance you don’t federate with.
This is based on an explanation from @MrKaplan@lemmy.world, unless I misunderstood MrKaplan?

Oh, I meant just if the instance isn’t know, I thought resolving would make it “aware” of that instance. I could be wrong. But yeah, the instance would have to federate with the other one for it to be able to resolve, though. e.g. it won’t resolve an object from an instance that is on the current instance’s “block” list.

Sorry to bother you here, but I send you a PM. I would love to collaborate more. I have a group chat with the other Lemmy/PieFed devs. Some of the devs are already working on shared logic/libraries between apps. I also 100% understand if you’re spread too thin and don’t want more messages.

Oh, sorry. One of the new features in this dev branch is the ability to disable PMs and mentions. I’ve been running with those turned off. Seems like that feature is working lol.
I turned DMs back on and found the message - will try to join here when I’m back on desktop. Dunno how active I can be right now, but I am eventually going to start on Piefed so would be nice to have a sounding board.
Nice!
