Federation with Funkwhale

[rhaamo]

I can change that, I will see next week to do that change.
That shouldn't need too much changes on our side.

I've made some progress on item #2 (see https://channels.tests.funkwhale.audio/channels/[email protected]/ for instance), however, the follow crashes too when being delivered to reel2bits, so I assume it's a similar issue.

Also, I'm not really happy with the current way of detecting if an actor can also be considered a Funkwhale channel (it relies on a check that a reel2bits key is present in the AP @context. Would you consider including the RSS url that generate a podcast feed in the Actor payload? It would makes it cleaner on my side, and also allow me to expose it in the UI.

This is what we currently do for Funkwhale channels:

  "tag": [
    {

    }
  ],
  "following": "https://open.audio/federation/actors/pulse/following"
}

(As you can see, the URL is formed as a a list of two Link, one being the HTML profile url, and the second one being the RSS feed url).

Implementation notes: Actor payload now contains links to profile (html) and feeds (RSS and Atom)

Notes: Update logic in reel2bits needs to be reworked.
