# 
davipeach hello there
# davipeach Im working on a test site to learn ActivityPub and have question if I may?
# puck go ahead
# davipeach I have logged a follow request from mastodon to my test site
# davipeach Im just wondering, as an overarching idea, what I should I so with that info
# davipeach save in my db etc
# davipeach what are best / accepted practices?
# davipeach (im noob to AP)
# davipeach :)
# davipeach thanks in advance
# puck depends. All you need is the ID of the Follow, the actor, and the object. Mastodon only stores that, but some other pieces of software (like Kroeg and some others in development) store the entire object
# dansup davipeach: you are using laravel?
# davipeach ye
# dansup davipeach: nice so am I! Take a look at https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed
# davipeach nooice
# davipeach thanks for that
# dansup No problem, let me know if you have any questions!

# rialtate[m] puck: I don't know if you already fixed this but I was processing actor Updates and you don't have @context in the updated object

# puck rialtate[m]: that's not a bug
# puck I don't think Mastodon does either
# rialtate[m] puck: how is it not a bug? Update MUST send the complete object... Replacing the object with the supplied one would leave you with an incorrect copy
# puck no it wouldn't
# puck the @context is not part of the object
# puck it just tells you how to interpret it
# rialtate[m] > <@irc_puck:cybre.space> it just tells you how to interpret it
# rialtate[m] That can't be right. You would have to make an assumption that the conext hasnt changed and merge the 2 objects which is precisely what that MUST says not to do.
# puck rialtate[m]: the spec also says that it's all JSON-LD and SHOULD include the context, but you're not required to
# puck and not only that, but see e.g. example 7
# puck the @context is only on the root, but there's another @context in the object that overrides the language to english
# rialtate[m] So because json-ld the child object inherits the root context then?
# puck yes
