Follow application actor has a way to get public activities

petitminion @petitminion@socialhub.activitypub.rocks

To get content for new instances we are working on an instance level follow. For this we will use the application actor (see https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-2677-identifying-the-application-actor/3646 ). In Funkwhale it’s called \service actor\. To know who is interested in public activities we will use the a Follow between the application actors.

  1. Opt out/disable : If an instance do not want to send all public activities to remote, the Follow is not approved/delete.
  2. If a user want to limit his activities to the instance we have an instance privacy level for activities.

I just wanted to share this in case someone have experience with this approach.
