peers/lemmy.sh runs the Lemmy 1.0.0-beta.2 backend on the shared Postgres. It trusts
Caddy's CA through SSL_CERT_FILE and reaches the pasture through
DANGER_FEDERATION_ALLOW_LOCAL_IP. Lemmy 0.19 cannot join: its rustls trusts only its
bundled roots. LEMMY_LOG sets RUST_LOG.
scenarios/lemmy.sh drives Lemmy through its v4 API. 20 checks pass, three runs in a row:
- communities both ways;
- a titled thread each way, and alice's mention of a Lemmy community becoming a thread
there;
- the Lemmy community's announce reaching alice's home;
- comments both ways and alice's like as an upvote;
- private messages both ways;
- statistics.
Two expected failures: votes, which Lemmy sends only through the community as
Announce{Like|Dislike}, and a moderator's removal. Both belong to P7.
What it showed, in docs/INTEROP.md:
- Lemmy 1.0 keeps its user's thread in a remote community pending until the community
announces it back. It clears the flag before answering that echo 400 ("Object is not
remote"). Leaving the author's server out of the Announce, as tried here, left every
such thread pending, so GroupDistributor now says why the echo stays.
- Every bare Announce{object} is answered 400, as Lemmy answers its own compatibility
Announce(Page).

Communities:
- a post addressed to a community (to, cc or audience) is accepted
according to its posting policy - followers, anyone, or moderators -
and GroupDistributor announces the whole activity with `audience` to
the community's followers, plus the object for new posts so Mastodon
shows them; updates and deletes of community content are announced too;
- top-level posts are Pages with a name (the title, or a headline from
the text); /flock counts members, /wardens lists moderators;
- a Mastodon client posts into a community by mentioning it, or into a
remote group, which sets `audience`;
- an Announce of an activity from a remote group a persona follows (Lemmy)
is followed through: the object is fetched from its own origin, kept with
its AudienceURI, and fanned out to the group's local followers; updates
are applied in place and deletes checked against the origin.
Circles stop being local-only: an undiscoverable Group actor whose follows
are all requests the owner approves; posts addressed to the circle and its
/flock and delivered to members' own inboxes, never announced, never
public; a remote member's post into the circle is accepted from members
only. SignedFetchAuthorizer serves circle posts and collections only to a
signed request from a member or a member server's instance actor - 404 for
anyone else. Circles never surface in search, lookups, mentions, account
ids or profile pages.
Federation:SecureMode requires a valid signature on every GET under
/peasants except the instance actor. Group forms take a posting policy.
