# Validation/Import of remote events
|
||
This document gives an overview how remote `Event` objects are treated by common Fediverse applications.
|
||
|
||
## Mastodon
|
||
**Last updated**: 2024-10-20
|
||
|
||
Mastodon does not have support or events, but an `Event` object is in the [list of converted object types](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/12637/commits/0428c00e30abcb0580558f9bdca672abc8b68f81).
|
||
|
||
It neglets all event related fields but `title`, `summary` and `url` which it uses to create a Mastodon status (toot) representation of the event.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Mobilizon
|
||
**Last uptaded**: 2024-01-20
|
||
|
||
**Information sources**:
|
||
|
||
- [Mobilizon ActivityStreams converter for Event](https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon/-/blob/main/lib/federation/activity_stream/converter/event.ex?ref_type=heads)
|
||
- [Mobilizon Database schema for Event](https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon/-/blob/main/lib/mobilizon/event.ex?ref_type=heads)
|
||
|
||
### Required
|
||
|
||
- [`name`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-name): The events title.
|
||
- [`attributedTo`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-attributedTo) or [`actor`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-actor): Mobilizon uses actor for the user profile and attributedTo for the group. But as `actor` being part of an object is not part of the ActivityPub spec, solely using `attributedTo` might preferred if they are similar.
|
||
- `id`: This is also used for the `url`.
|
||
|
||
### Optional
|
||
|
||
- [`content`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-content): `contentMap` is currently not supported by Mobilizon.
|
||
- [`location`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-location): The subkey [`address`](https://schema.org/address) is accepted, both as [`PostalAddress`](https://schema.org/PostalAddress) and pure text.
|
||
- [`mentions`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-mentions)
|
||
- [`tag`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-tag)
|
||
- [`maximumAttendeeCapacity`](https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/contribute/activity_pub/#maximumattendeecapacity)
|
||
- [`anonymousparticipationenabled`](https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/contribute/activity_pub/#anonymousparticipationenabled)
|
||
- `remainingAttendeeCapacity`: [Not parsed at the moment](https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon/-/issues/1412)
|
||
- `participantCount`: [Not parsed at the moment](https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon/-/issues/1412)
|
||
- `is_online` boolean whether the Event is online.
|
||
- `timezone`
|
||
- `metadata`: This is a list which can contain items. TODO.
|
||
- `contacts`: a list of contacts: each item might be just the `id`/`url` or an `Actor` object.
|
||
- `category`: default list of categories can be found [in the source code](https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon/-/blob/main/lib/mobilizon/events/categories.ex?ref_type=heads#L28), but it can be extended via environment variables. Note that the source code shows them in lowercase, but they have to be passed as uppercase, e.g. `MOVEMENTS_POLITICS`.
|
||
- [`repliesModerationOption`](https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/contribute/activity_pub/#repliesModerationOption)
|
||
- [`commentsEnabled`](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api/activitypub)
|
||
- [`joinMode`](https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/contribute/activity_pub/#joinmode): `[free, restricted, invite, external]` default is `free`.
|
||
- `externalParticipationUrl`: only used if `joinMode` is set to `external`.
|
||
- [`startTime`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-startTime)
|
||
- [`endTime`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-endTime)
|
||
|
||
### Not used
|
||
|
||
- [`url`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-url): internally Mobilizon uses the `id` as URL.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### To Test:
|
||
|
||
### Handling of visibility, comments and discoverability
|
||
|
||
- If `https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public` is not in `to` it will be treated as `unlisted`, else as `public`. This are the only options for remote events, even though internally Mobilizon supports `[public, unlisted, restricted, private]`.
|
||
- For comments to be enabled within Mobilizon either [`commentsEnabled`](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api/activitypub) must be `true` or `repliesModerationOption` must be set to `allow_all`. `repliesModerationOption` is more important. If none is of both is passed replies will be disabled.
|
||
- When the `attributedTo` (or if `attributedTo` is not set, but `actor` is set) contains an `Actor` of type `Person` the remote `Event` will not be listed and searchable.
|
||
- If `timezone` is not defined Mobilizon might calculate the timezone via the `location`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Banner image
|
||
|
||
Mobilizon currently expects all images to by within `attachment` and to be an `Object` of type `Document`. It first looks for an object where the `name` is equal to `Banner`. If that is not found it uses ´attachment[0]`.
|
||
|
||
## Gancio
|
||
|
||
**Last uptaded**: 2024-01-20
|
||
|
||
### Required
|
||
|
||
- [`name`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-name): The events title.
|
||
- [`startTime`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-startTime)
|
||
- `id`: though Gancio currently does not [list it as required in its source code](https://framagit.org/les/gancio/-/blob/master/server/federation/events.js?ref_type=heads#L19), there will be an error without out it.
|
||
|
||
### Optional
|
||
|
||
- [`location`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-location): The subkey [`address`](https://schema.org/address) is accepted, both as [`PostalAddress`](https://schema.org/PostalAddress) and pure text. For `PostalAddress` only `streetAddress`, `addressLocality`, and `addressCountry` are used.
|
||
- [`attachment`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-attachment) Only the first one is used as a banner image, all others are ignored, see below.
|
||
- [`endTime`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-endTime)
|
||
- [`content`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-content) `contentMap` is currently not supported by Gancio.
|
||
- [`summary`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-summary) The summary is only used when no content is supplied.
|
||
|
||
### Handling of visibility
|
||
|
||
Currently Gancio does not seem to handle any visibility or replies-policy options. It sets all remote events it received to the internal `is_visible` to `true`.
|
||
|
||
### Banner image
|
||
|
||
Gancio takes the first `attachment` of the `Event` object as the banner image of the event. It optionally supports [`name`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-name) as the alternative text and [`focalPoint`](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#focalPoint).
