Like Activity

Here, I discuss the implementation choices, I made when designing a like activity. First an example:

{
  "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
  "type": "Like",
  "id": "https://mymath.rocks/activitypub/helge/like-1234",
  "actor": "https://mymath.rocks/activitypub/helge",
  "content": "🐮",
  "object": "https://domain/users/name/activity",
  "to": ["https://domain/users/name"],
  "cc": ["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"],
  "published": "2023-01-29T16:37:18.996Z"
}

All properties exist in the ActivityStreams Specification. Some of the background behind these choices can be found at SocialHub.

Display

Display is handled by the Like component in buffalo/src/components/timeline/Like.js.

Properties

Content

Following the choice made by MissKey / CalcKey, I use the content property to contain the emote. As bovine is bovine themed, the used emote is a cow face by default.

FIXME: Citation needed

To property

As the activity is generated in the JavaScript code of buffalo and then send to the outbox, it is necessary to specify the to property of the like.

cc as public

This is mainly an indication that I am ok with my Like being displayed to the world, e.g. as an increased like count on the object.
