* Add support for followers synchronization on the receiving end
Check the `collectionSynchronization` attribute on `Create` and `Announce`
activities and synchronize followers from provided collection if possible.
* Add tests for followers synchronization on the receiving end
* Add support for follower synchronization on the sender's end
* Add tests for the sending end
* Switch from AS attributes to HTTP header
Replace the custom `collectionSynchronization` ActivityStreams attribute by
an HTTP header (`X-AS-Collection-Synchronization`) with the same syntax as
the `Signature` header and the following fields:
- `collectionId` to specify which collection to synchronize
- `digest` for the SHA256 hex-digest of the list of followers known on the
receiving instance (where “receiving instance” is determined by accounts
sharing the same host name for their ActivityPub actor `id`)
- `url` of a collection that should be fetched by the instance actor
Internally, move away from the webfinger-based `domain` attribute and use
account `uri` prefix to group accounts.
* Add environment variable to disable followers synchronization
Since the whole mechanism relies on some new preconditions that, in some
extremely rare cases, might not be met, add an environment variable
(DISABLE_FOLLOWERS_SYNCHRONIZATION) to disable the mechanism altogether and
avoid followers being incorrectly removed.
The current conditions are:
1. all managed accounts' actor `id` and inbox URL have the same URI scheme and
netloc.
2. all accounts whose actor `id` or inbox URL share the same URI scheme and
netloc as a managed account must be managed by the same Mastodon instance
as well.
As far as Mastodon is concerned, breaking those preconditions require extensive
configuration changes in the reverse proxy and might also cause other issues.
Therefore, this environment variable provides a way out for people with highly
unusual configurations, and can be safely ignored for the overwhelming majority
of Mastodon administrators.
* Only set follower synchronization header on non-public statuses
This is to avoid unnecessary computations and allow Follow-related
activities to be handled by the usual codepath instead of going through
the synchronization mechanism (otherwise, any Follow/Undo/Accept activity
would trigger the synchronization mechanism even if processing the activity
itself would be enough to re-introduce synchronization)
* Change how ActivityPub::SynchronizeFollowersService handles follow requests
If the remote lists a local follower which we only know has sent a follow
request, consider the follow request as accepted instead of sending an Undo.
* Integrate review feeback
- rename X-AS-Collection-Synchronization to Collection-Synchronization
- various minor refactoring and code style changes
* Only select required fields when computing followers_hash
* Use actor URI rather than webfinger domain in synchronization endpoint
* Change hash computation to be a XOR of individual hashes
Makes it much easier to be memory-efficient, and avoid sorting discrepancy issues.
* Marginally improve followers_hash computation speed
* Further improve hash computation performances by using pluck_each
* Replace incorrect use of distinct with group
Some uses of ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#distinct pass field names but they
are incorrect for the current version of Rails.
ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#group provides the expected behavior and
benefits performance. See commit 6da24aad4cafdef8d8a2c92bac2002a5fc2fe9c8.
* Introduce ApplicationController#cache_collection_paginated_by_id
ApplicationController#cache_collection_paginated_by_id fuses
ApplicationController#cache_collection and Paginable.paginate_by_id.
An advantage of this method is that it prevents from modifying scope which
Paginable.paginate_by_id may provide.
ApplicationController#cache_collection always return an array and there
is no possibility of the scope modification. It is also clear for a
programmer, considering the implication of "cache".
This method can also emit more efficient queries by using
Cacheable.cache_ids before calling Paginable.paginate_by_id.
* Fix the replies collection returning snowflakes ids rather than URIs
Fixes#11568
* Fix min_id in replies queries once self-replies are exhausted
* Fix `next` attribute of replies collection being nil when there are no self-replies
* Rename other_accounts param to only_other_accounts

* Fix new accounts not being created in ResolveAccountService
* Return sensible HTTP status for ActivityPub inbox processing
* Return sensible HTTP status for salmon slap processing
* Return additional information to debug signature verification failures
* ActivityPub migration procedure
Once one account is detected as going from OStatus to ActivityPub,
invalidate WebFinger cache for other accounts from the same domain
* Unsubscribe from PuSH updates once we receive an ActivityPub payload
* Re-subscribe to PuSH unless already unsubscribed, regardless of protocol

* Remove unused translations
* ActivityPub endpoint for single statuses, add ActivityPub::TagManager for better
URL/URI generation
* Add ActivityPub::TagManager#to
* Represent all attachments as Document instead of Image/Video specifically
(Because for remote ones we may not know for sure)
Add mentions and hashtags representation to AP notes
* Add AP-resolvable hashtag URIs
* Use ActiveModelSerializers for ActivityPub
* Clean up unused translations
* Separate route for object and activity
* Adjust cc/to matrices
* Add to/cc to activities, ensure announce activity embeds target status and
not the wrapper status, add "id" to all collections
