Thanks!

Tried to follow a private community, and I have a problem with this Accept activity:

{"@context":["https://join-lemmy.org/context.json","https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"],"actor":"https://voyager.lemmy.ml/c/privfedtest","id":"https://voyager.lemmy.ml/activities/accept/6a08b817-9dc2-498a-a637-9092c8ea15fc","object":{"actor":"https://mitra.social/users/silverpill","id":"https://voyager.lemmy.ml/activities/follow/3c08aca5-9e41-4d15-b134-326c4bd91bd0","object":"https://voyager.lemmy.ml/c/privfedtest","to":["https://voyager.lemmy.ml/c/privfedtest"],"type":"Follow"},"to":["https://mitra.social/users/silverpill"],"type":"Accept"}

The id inside Accept.object is not the ID of my Follow activity, it’s something different. Its origin is not my server:

Hello @nutomic, could you add my instance to the allowlist? I’d like to test federation with private communities.

Yes, it is known as “nomadic identity”:

I think it is a useful service, because it helps small instances discover content. However, this idea is not new and another service of that kind, FediBuzz, has been operating for a long time.
