Side question: why do I sometimes see multiple copies of a message in SocialHub? The previous two messages are apparently published from “this site” and “mitra.social”. Do they have different activity/object URIs? If the AP URIs are the same, does the Discourse plugin not dedup them?

[devnull]

It seems like a bug unrelated to deduplication, although that was my first thought as well. @silverpill’s reply came from mitra.social only, and the fact that Discourse (as SocialHub) handled that and reported that another post came from itself suggests that perhaps it went down a logic path that is normally reserved for local posts.

But this is only conjecture. Pinging @angus!

My theory: conflict between Create and Announce(Create)

Federated SocialHub Categories

As far as I can tell, this happens when a server sends Create activity directly to SocialHub, and also to NodeBB, which wraps it in Announce and also sends to SocialHub. I suspect that Create and Announce arrive roughly at the same time and some conflict occurs during the processing. Note that one comment appears as federated but its copy is always local.
