How does the Mastodon software deal with ActivityPub messages that are ‘Announce’ activities? Does it expect certain specific types of content, and will it ignore others? What’s the typical use case for Announce in Mastodon?

@ton iirc they are the notifications that you see from your instance
@ton but I guess they could be used for anything serverside.Activitypub has no types, so no ‘announcement’ either, afaics. this is a Mastodon implementation. Mastodon implements announcements as shown in previous post. It doesn’t federate them, and allows reactions with metadata on it, but only from actors on that instance. Since it’s never federated, it doesn’t matter to other servers what exactly they are either.
