References
For Myfiles, references are used to indicate a relationship between a Myfile or its owner and an outside entity or identifier. The following are the standard reference fields. They go alongside the fields listed in the Fields page. All fields are optional and are strings unless otherwise noted.
(Formatted as fieldname
: Source or relationship type)
ap:actor
: ActivityPub- The URL to an ActivityPub actor. This is what you append "/outbox" to, for example, to get posts. This allows software to look up an actor via the address here, allowing users of that software to use a Myfile address as a mention. This is also used to look up posts for a user.
ap:announcement
: ActivityPub- The URL to an ActivityPub post (say, a root post of a thread or latest announcement). This tells viewers what post to prioritize loading and showing above any others. The post does not have to be on the
ap:actor
account.
email
: E-mail- An email address corresponding to the Myfile.
phone
: Telephony- The Myfile's phone number. You can use this to call the user, etc.
fax
: Telephony- The Myfile's fax number. You can use this to fax the user, etc.
