@julian i don’t think this is a 1b12 thing per se, it’s more that mastodon is biased toward individuals over communities, and a lot of its activities are private and not forwarded, so you never get the full context unless you follow everyone involved.
on the other hand, 1b12 says entirely too much about the types of everything. imo it misuses Group, Page, and Announce (arguably).
i also would prefer something more browsable
@julian well, the building blocks are kinda there but they’re assembled pretty weirdly. i’m wondering how you feel about deconstructing that and maybe publishing semantically correct activitystreams documents as an alternative interface to html? it’s a more “web” approach than a “fedi” approach, but i do think it could be a good fit for nodebb at least philosophically wrt “you shouldn’t have to mirror the entire network”. a linked data browser like browser.pub could make use of that data…
