FAQPage Schema
How do I represent long-form content in ActivityPub so microblogging clients display it correctly?▼

Use the ActivityPub `Article` type to represent long-form content, which distinguishes multi-paragraph posts from short `Note` objects and ensures they are handled correctly by microblogging clients.

What is the difference between Article and Note types in ActivityPub for Fediverse posts?▼

In ActivityPub, the `Article` type is designed for long-form content like blog posts with titles, whereas `Note` is intended for shorter microblogging messages, ensuring proper rendering across Fediverse platforms.

How does the preview property work for ActivityPub Article objects?▼

The `preview` property provides a microblogging-friendly summary of an ActivityPub `Article`, allowing clients focused on short posts to display a snippet instead of the full long-form HTML content.

What HTML content restrictions apply when formatting Fediverse Article posts?▼

When formatting Fediverse Article posts, HTML content restrictions apply to ensure interoperability across various platforms, though specific allowed tags depend on each consuming client's implementation guidelines.

Do I need the Article type to publish blog posts to Mastodon and other Fediverse platforms?▼

You need the `Article` type to properly publish blog posts to the Fediverse, as it defines properties like `name`, `url`, and `sensitive` to ensure long-form content is accurately represented across platforms.

How do different Fediverse platforms handle interoperability with ActivityPub Article objects?▼

Fediverse platforms handle ActivityPub `Article` objects differently, with varying support for properties like `preview` and `sensitive`, making it necessary to check interoperability matrices for specific publishing and consuming client behaviors.
