@bobjonkman I experimented with this in postActiv and the problem I had is that I couldn't be sure that I'd get a notice polled cold from a remote Mastodon or Hubzilla site.  It occurs to me I didn't try Friendica.  I should probably play with this some more sometime, it was one of the things I was doing before I ended up in the hospital, which kind of put a crimp on things >_<;
