The https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#url (aka ap:url) property in the ActivityPub representation of Pages seems to be used against its defined semantics. From its definition:
I understand this to mean that the xsd:anyURI that is contained in ap:url field should lead to a representation of the object itself (i.e. the Note), not something it is quoting or talking about. This is because the Lemmy Page talking about something is not the same as that thing.
The ap:url field should lead to a "human readable" representation of the object, e.g. the friendica frontend. This is also how Mastodon, Pleroma and Misskey use this field.

Issue Summary
The
https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#url
(akaap:url
) property in the ActivityPub representation ofPage
s seems to be used against its defined semantics. From its definition:I understand this to mean that the
xsd:anyURI
that is contained inap:url
field should lead to a representation of the object itself (i.e. theNote
), not something it is quoting or talking about. This is because the LemmyPage
talking about something is not the same as that thing.The
ap:url
field should lead to a "human readable" representation of the object, e.g. the friendica frontend. This is also how Mastodon, Pleroma and Misskey use this field.Steps to Reproduce
curl -sH 'accept: application/activity+json' 'https://lemmy.ml/post/131686' | python -m json.tool
