     @datatitian @cwebber but what is the experience like for people using the groupserv?

     @kaniini @cwebber I don't know. What is groupserv?

     @datatitian @cwebber
     
     groupserv being short for 'group server', like your gup.pe for example.
     
     i considered writing one that used Announces to forward (which is the only reliable way to do it, forwarding signed Creates with LDSigs only works with *some* AP servers).
     
     but then you are seeing "foobar group boosted this post" since there is no semantic hinting for what an announce is supposed to actually mean.

     @kaniini @cwebber oh I see. Yeah it's exactly that - a server that automatically creates a Group actor when you search for or tag a username and then automatically announces anything that comes through its inbox.
     I also thought about inbox forwarding, but was unsure about support, so I started with announce

     @datatitian @cwebber
     
     we are working on semantic hinting through the use of JSON-LD compound typing, as this same problem exists in the relays.
     
     https://blog.dereferenced.org/leveraging-json-ld-compound-typing-for-behavioural-hinting-in-activitypub
     
     although in this case we probably want a slightly different hint than the one we have devised for relays.

     @kaniini @cwebber very cool! I was wondering if it would make sense for clients to infer semantics from from the actor type + activity type combination (i.e. a group's announce is really "x shared this to the group"), but explicit semantics is even better

     @cwebber I'm now developing two web browsers. I believe I told you about Odysseus already, but Rhapsode takes on the form factor of a voice assistant.

     I like studying and documenting how the code I use functions, and have now moved on to graphics libraries. Having just finished going over the code Odysseus directly calls.

     Finally I'm building up a list of DRM-free entertainment, and am getting quite into audio shows.

     @cwebber P.S. I'd be happy to integrate your DataShards into both of those browsers.

     @alcinnz Oh interesting! We should talk /cc @emacsen

     Keep in mind that we're still in the "early adopters beware" stage :)

     @cwebber @emacsen I can wait, as I've got plenty to do already!

     So I guess my first question is when's a good time? I don't expect dates though, I can't give you any myself.

     Also there's the question of language, as I've really been enjoying Vala for Odysseus and Haskell for Rhapsode.
