     @pfefferle @evanprodromou Good by me! Maybe we should write a report for the CG about it.

     @devnull @pfefferle yes, that would be the idea. So other apps would know the author, likes, replies, shares, and other metadata about the object, and could send activities back to the author.

     @evan @pfefferle does this mean that if I add this link tag to my pages, then implementors (should they look for it) could elect to load that content internally? (And vice versa?)

     @devnull @pfefferle a Link: header can work too. Apparently Mastodon uses it. So just HEAD the page and see what Link header is returned.

     @evan @pfefferle is there a way to do it without having to load the whole page?

     I'm thinking through how my app would know to load a resource via AP instead of a browser navigation, but if the step to determine that requires... a browser navigation, then what even is the point?

     I have to be missing something, right?

     @evan @pfefferle I was wondering how Megalodon did it (or maybe it's via Mastodon API)... I always figured that maybe Mastodon saved a list of domains corresponding to known instances, but wasn't 100% sure.

     I'm honestly a little glad it's NOT that hacky.
