Draft
Add migration to move profile IDs from permalink to query param format#2766
Conversation
Change actor IDs to always use the query param format (?author=ID). When accessed via the old permalink URL, show movedTo pointing to the new ID. Add migration to send Move activity for blog user.
Eliminated the call to set_to with Remote_Actors::get_inboxes() when creating migration activities. This may be to adjust how recipients are handled or to prevent unnecessary inbox notifications.
Updated the 'Move' activity to set actor, origin, and object fields to the old blog ID format using the preferred username, ensuring correct identification during migration.
Updated calls to Outbox::add to use the add_to_outbox function with an added null parameter. This change likely reflects a refactor or update in the outbox handling API.
Changed the default value of the $offset parameter from 0 to 5 in the schedule_outbox_activity_for_federation method to adjust the scheduling behavior.
