   For now, I am building out a simple set of experiments. Initially, I needed a convenient way to monitor project feeds from different places, so I've used the Channel Sources feature to create syndicated bot channels for the federated projects I want to watch.

   This requires some adjustment and fine-tuning, but you can subscribe to it through Diaspora, Friendica, GNU Social, Mastodon, Socialhome, Hubzilla, or anywhere that can use #OStatus, #ActivityPub, #Diaspora Protocol, or #Zot.

      @dsh In other words, IIUC, you're using Hubzilla as a multiverse aggregator?

      Nice. My first challenge is that I want to load the first post in that channel in Mastodon, and to load a mastodon-post, that haven't federated to my server, I just put the permalink in the search box. But I can't seem to find any permalink for that post, that works to fetch it?
      
      Alternatively I'd like to fetch the post to the Diaspora* pod I'm on, but I don't know of any way to do that?

      Hey @Jonas
      
      One caveat is that the modern relay federation model that most platforms use relies on users to be already subscribed to a channel to receive its updates - basically the channel has a manifest of everyone that a post is being delivered to. In theory you could subscribe to the channel, and I could "redeliver", which is a built-in function for Hubzilla posts, but I'm not quite certain whether that just sends everyone plus you a copy of the status, or it only delivers a new copy to people who didn't receive the first one.
      
      Willing to attempt it if you're game.

      I'll admit I wasn't following the channel from my Diaspora account here (I am now though) But I was following from my Mastodon account on manowar.social, and there's still no posts there - and that's honestly where I'd prefer to see it.

      Didn't arrive here at least (I'm following, no posts). But, I think that might be a bug on my end ? Will check later.

      @dsh I think that in order for me to fetch myself from Mastodon, I'd need something like the following meta tag in the HTML head:
      
      https://manowar.social/users/zatnosk/statuses/99369935369242518" rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json">
      
      I.e. a link to the endpoint where the activity can be fetched through ActivityPub.
      Would it be possible to modify Hubzilla to give that info?

      @dsh oookay, that link in the middle of the tag kills it.
      
      where endpoint url can be: https://manowar.social/users/zatnosk/statuses/99369935369242518

       @dsh why are Hubzilla just aggresively stripping tags instead of showing it as text?
       
       < link href=" [endpoint url] " rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json" >
       
       Is this readable?

       Okay, now the post shows up on the Diaspora pod I'm on! But still nothing on Mastodon. Does re-delivery only work with the diaspora protocol, and not ActivityPub or OStatus?

       I think it works for all of them, but I think you need to be subscribed to it first. Happy to experiment with this more as time goes on.

       The permalink is within the gear menu at the bottom of the article. "Link to Source".

       Mike, I found the permalink, but it doesn't let me fetch the post from Mastodon, by pasting it in the search box.
       I can only assume that it's because there's some header or meta-tag that Mastodon wants that isn't set by Hubzilla, when using the permalink.

       (that reply doesn't seem to show up on macgirvin.com, so I don't know if you can see it. Does mentioning you change that? @mike )
