If you Announce(Object) are you not following FEP 1b12?

Thank you @silverpill@mitra.social for providing some helpful context.
In that sense, then, it seems as though @nutomic@lemmy.ml expected going in that existing implementations would not be strictly compatible with his vision, but one would assume some form of compatibility was reached in spite of this?
That is, Lemmy may expect Announce(Activity), but I bet it also accepts Announce(Object) if one of their users were to follow a Hubzilla/Friendica group actor...

@silverpill@mitra.social in my experience many talk about FEP 1b12 implementations as "boosting" to the group, hence the confusion.
_This is a spin-off discussion from today's ForumWG meeting_ At today's ForumWG meeting, @trwnh@mastodon.social mentioned that `Announce(Object)` is something that Hubzilla and Friendica do, but the proper FEP 1b12 behaviour is to send out `Announce(Activity)`. I noted that NodeBB actually announces the Note object itself, instead of the activity, and provided some context that Discourse (via @angusmcleod@mastodon.social) originally expected Activities, but now also accepts objects (implicit create) for compatibility with NodeBB. Likewise, NodeBB also added some logic to handle `Announce(Create(Note))` for compatibility. Would `Announce(Object)` be considered a "variant" of 1b12, implemented within the spirit of the FEP, but not a technically compliant implementation?
I may regret creating this topic but here goes. If you experience a bug or other unexpected behavior while using NodeBB and its related ActivityPub integration, please post it here so it can be tracked and resolved. No formal process as of yet, and we're still at pre-alpha so expect many things to be broken or unavailable 😅
