Crazy! 😉

Does Mastodon actually use summary? (Or does it only do so for Notes? I thought Articles just got a link and nothing else.)

(My main gripe with Mastodon isn’t that it doesn’t support Article, it is that is a pretty bad feed reader. There are much better readers for long-form posts.)

I currently also “disguise” my Articles as Notes, and include only a title—marked up “incorrectly,” alas—excerpt, and permalink.

But I’d love it if Mastodon (rather than try and become a full-fledged feed reader) would be able to “natively” recognize Articles’ (titles and) summaries!

Been experimenting with ActivityPub a bit more. More specifically, I’ve been trying to exclude certain posts from “being federated.”

Like, if you search for the following URL from your Mastodon instance, it should not return anything: https://jan.boddez.net/notes/f8dab23f83.

And if you were following this account, i.e., @jan, you should not have seen the post above appear on your timeline.
