What can a context collection contain, objects or activities?

@julian said in Does context in AP have to be a collection, or can be be like a Flag activity? Say I wanted to Create(Note) about a Flag I'd received, I'd need:

If you queried the context, you'd get an OrderedCollection containing objects that you have access to view, but since in NodeBB only moderators can view flag reports, anybody querying it over ActivityPub would just get an empty collection.

The quote was in reference to whether disparate as:Flag activities could be grouped together under a common context (per 7888).

To be technically correct, it would contain the Flag activities... which reminds me of a discussion @trwnh@mastodon.social and @silverpill@mitra.social had about what a context collection could contain... objects vs. activities.

In this particular case, I suppose the context collection would contain activities, not objects, which would mean we'd need to relax any recommendation that they contain either objects or activities, since it could contain any mixture of both.
