@js what are you looking for exactly? I think the use might be server specific, as the spec doesn't say much about it. Here's an example from my software: https://federated.id

@mariusor looking to survey what folks took to be the type of that property in practice (given the sparse docs)

Your example is great - what is federated.id?

Do you know of any other server software that implements "streams"?

> Do you know of any other server software

@js nope sorry.

Federatd.id is a demo instance for my software called FedBOX: https://github.com/go-ap/fedbox

@mariusor very cool!

heads up that in your /objects collection, "likes" is not a valid AP property, so you'll want to include that as an extension in the local context (or find one that the community has already proposed/standardized on?)

@js I think you're wrong: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#likes

I'm an old hand at this, you can not befuddle me. :P

@mariusor you're right!

you pass the test

@julian this is why I'd love to see it somewhere in action - to see what others have imagined, and deployed

in my mind, it would be one or more IRI | Collection (ie "functional: false")

the fact that they have no names is kind of weird ("here's a random list of collections") - but not the first kind of weird thing in AP land

@js@podcastindex.social that's the thing, it's vague so as to be almost directionless, so at best it can be used between instances of the same software, or that impl. can become a pseudo standard usage of the property.

Not ideal but the AP writers couldn't have thought of everything!

@julian @js This wiki page contains some additional information: https://www.w3.org/wiki/ActivityPub/Primer/Streams

It says developers should use extension properties instead, and I agree with that.

@silverpill @julian

thanks for the link!

I read that as developers should use extension properties _and_ include them in the streams collection

still looking for actual deployments of "streams" though - only have one so far

@Brahn I award no points! Looking for a real-world server that has actually implemented it.

So far found only one

@Brahn Also there is no example of the "streams" property in that doc. Negative points! : )

the property is actually named "streams": https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#streams

@js oooh..
