Sending a private message without cc causes a 500 error (community.nodebb.org)

The logs from this are already cleared on my server, but when I sent a private message (standard Create/Note with a single recipient who also has a Mention in the tag property) from my custom software to my account here, I received a 500 error saying something like "cc is not iterable" (though I don't know the exact phrasing). When I included cc as an empty array, it started working. Not sure whether it was missing on Create or Note, maybe it was both.

@freamon Create(ChatMessage) is not part of ActivityPub. From my light research online it is something added by a Pleroma extension and possibly supported by Lemmy.

NodeBB will automatically slot received non-public notes as chat messages.

FYI the next Lemmy version will use Create/Note for private messages. You can test it on voyager.lemmy.ml

@nutomic@lemmy.ml thanks for the update! That's awesome to hear

@julian I've added support to PieFed to successfully receive Create / Note as a PM from NodeBB.

From Nutomic's PR, it looks like you'll continue you get Create / ChatMessage from them, as also you will from PieFed. This currently fails, as I guess that it converts them into a Create / Note, but then complains of there being no 'cc'.

It doesn't make sense for PMs to be 'carbon copied' to anyone, so I'll raise an Issue at your repo.

@freamon thanks! Happy to look into handling Create(ChatMessage)... I think the error aside, NodeBB would drop it anyway since ChatMessage isn't an expected post type.

@julian Oh, I've just realised I read Nutomic's PR the wrong way around. After 2.0, you'll start getting Notes from them. If 'ChatMessage' processing isn't worth handling by NodeBB, I can change PieFed to send you Notes instead.
