Chats are a way to represent an IM-style conversation between two actors. They are not the same as direct messages and they are not `Status`es, even though they have a lot in common.
## Why Chats?
There are no 'visibility levels' in ActivityPub, their definition is purely a Mastodon convention. Direct Messaging between users on the fediverse has mostly been modeled by using ActivityPub addressing following Mastodon conventions on normal `Note` objects. In this case, a 'direct message' would be a message that has no followers addressed and also does not address the special public actor, but just the recipients in the `to` field. It would still be a `Note` and is presented with other `Note`s as a `Status` in the API.
This is an awkward setup for a few reasons:
- As DMs generally still follow the usual `Status` conventions, it is easy to accidentally pull somebody into a DM thread by mentioning them. (e.g. "I hate @badguy so much")
- It is possible to go from a publicly addressed `Status` to a DM reply, back to public, then to a 'followers only' reply, and so on. This can be become very confusing, as it is unclear which user can see which part of the conversation.
- The standard `Status` format of implicit addressing also leads to rather ugly results if you try to display the messages as a chat, because all the recipients are always mentioned by name in the message.
- As direct messages are posted with the same api call (and usually same frontend component) as public messages, accidentally making a public message private or vice versa can happen easily. Client bugs can also lead to this, accidentally making private messages public.
-As a measure to improve this situation, the `Conversation` concept and related Pleroma extensions were introduced. While it made it possible to work around a few of the issues, many of the problems remained and it didn't see much adoption because it was too complicated to use correctly.

## Chats explained
For this reasons, Chats are a new and different entity, both in the API as well as in ActivityPub. A quick overview:
- Chats are meant to represent an instant message conversation between two actors. For now these are only 1-on-1 conversations, but the other actor can be a group in the future.
- Chat messages have the ActivityPub type `ChatMessage`. They are not `Note`s. Servers that don't understand them will just drop them.
- The only addressing allowed in `ChatMessage`s is one single ActivityPub actor in the `to` field.
- There's always only one Chat between two actors. If you start chatting with someone and later start a 'new' Chat, the old Chat will be continued.
- `ChatMessage`s are posted with a different api, making it very hard to accidentally send a message to the wrong person.
- `ChatMessage`s don't show up in the existing timelines.
- Chats can never go from private to public. They are always private between the two actors.
## Caveats
- Chats are NOT E2E encrypted (yet). Security is still the same as email.
## API
In general, the way to send a `ChatMessage` is to first create a `Chat`, then post a message to that `Chat`. `Group`s will later be supported by making them a sub-type of `Account`.
This is the overview of using the API. The API is also documented via OpenAPI, so you can view it and play with it by pointing SwaggerUI or a similar OpenAPI tool to `https://yourinstance.tld/api/openapi`.
### Creating or getting a chat.
To create or get an existing Chat for a certain recipient (identified by Account ID)
- idempotency_key: The copy of the `idempotency-key` HTTP request header that can be used for optimistic message sending. Included only during the first few minutes after the message creation.
### Posting a chat message
Posting a chat message for given Chat id works like this:
`POST /api/v1/pleroma/chats/:id/messages`
Parameters:
- content: The text content of the message. Optional if media is attached.
- media_id: The id of an upload that will be attached to the message.
Currently, no formatting beyond basic escaping and emoji is implemented.
There's a new `pleroma:chat_mention` notification, which has this form. It is not given out in the notifications endpoint by default, you need to explicitly request it with `include_types[]=pleroma:chat_mention`:
```json
{
"id": "someid",
"type": "pleroma:chat_mention",
"account": { ... } // User account of the sender,
"chat_message": {
"chat_id": "1",
"id": "10",
"content": "Hello",
"account_id": "someflakeid",
"unread": false
},
"created_at": "somedate"
}
```
### Streaming
There is an additional `user:pleroma_chat` stream. Incoming chat messages will make the current chat be sent to this `user` stream. The `event` of an incoming chat message is `pleroma:chat_update`. The payload is the updated chat with the incoming chat message in the `last_message` field.
### Web Push
If you want to receive push messages for this type, you'll need to add the `pleroma:chat_mention` type to your alerts in the push subscription.

+A Akkoma instance can be identified by "<Mastodon version> (compatible; Pleroma <version>)" present in `version` field in response from `/api/v1/instance`
## Flake IDs
-Pleroma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However, just like Mastodon's ids, they are lexically sortable strings
+Akkoma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However, just like Mastodon's ids, they are lexically sortable strings
## Timelines
Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
Adding the parameter `exclude_visibilities` to the timeline queries will exclude the statuses with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`), e.g., `exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
Adding the parameter `reply_visibility` to the public and home timelines queries will filter replies. Possible values: without parameter (default) shows all replies, `following` - replies directed to you or users you follow, `self` - replies directed to you.
Adding the parameter `instance=lain.com` to the public timeline will show only statuses originating from `lain.com` (or any remote instance).
Home, public, hashtag & list timelines accept these parameters:
- `only_media`: show only statuses with media attached
- `local`: show only local statuses
- `remote`: show only remote statuses
## Statuses
- `visibility`: has additional possible values `list` and `local` (for local-only statuses)
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `local`: true if the post was made on the local instance
- `conversation_id`: the ID of the AP context the status is associated with (if any)
- `direct_conversation_id`: the ID of the Mastodon direct message conversation the status is associated with (if any)
- `in_reply_to_account_acct`: the `acct` property of User entity for replied user (if any)
- `content`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `content` property with the key being its mimetype. Currently, the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `spoiler_text`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `spoiler_text` property with the key being its mimetype. Currently, the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `expires_at`: a datetime (iso8601) that states when the post will expire (be deleted automatically), or empty if the post won't expire
- `thread_muted`: true if the thread the post belongs to is muted
- `emoji_reactions`: A list with emoji / reaction maps. The format is `{name: "☕", count: 1, me: true}`. Contains no information about the reacting users, for that use the `/statuses/:id/reactions` endpoint.
- `parent_visible`: If the parent of this post is visible to the user or not.
- `pinned_at`: a datetime (iso8601) when status was pinned, `null` otherwise.
## Scheduled statuses
Has these additional fields in `params`:
- `expires_in`: the number of seconds the posted activity should expire in.
## Media Attachments
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `mime_type`: mime type of the attachment.
### Attachment cap
-Some apps operate under the assumption that no more than 4 attachments can be returned or uploaded. Pleroma however does not enforce any limits on attachment count neither when returning the status object nor when posting.

Additional parameters can be added to the JSON body/Form data:
- `preview`: boolean, if set to `true` the post won't be actually posted, but the status entity would still be rendered back. This could be useful for previewing rich text/custom emoji, for example.
- `content_type`: string, contain the MIME type of the status, it is transformed into HTML by the backend. You can get the list of the supported MIME types with the nodeinfo endpoint.
- `to`: A list of nicknames (like `lain@soykaf.club` or `lain` on the local server) that will be used to determine who is going to be addressed by this post. Using this will disable the implicit addressing by mentioned names in the `status` body, only the people in the `to` list will be addressed. The normal rules for post visibility are not affected by this and will still apply.

### Config example
The following is a config example to use with [Grafana](https://grafana.com)
-* Pleroma supports hierarchical OAuth scopes, just like Mastodon but with added granularity of admin scopes. For a reference, see [Mastodon OAuth scopes](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/oauth-scopes/).
+* Akkoma supports hierarchical OAuth scopes, just like Mastodon but with added granularity of admin scopes. For a reference, see [Mastodon OAuth scopes](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/oauth-scopes/).
* It is important to either define OAuth scope restrictions or explicitly mark OAuth scope check as skipped, for every controller action. To define scopes, call `plug(Pleroma.Web.Plugs.OAuthScopesPlug, %{scopes: [...]})`. To explicitly set OAuth scopes check skipped, call `plug(:skip_plug, Pleroma.Web.Plugs.OAuthScopesPlug <when ...>)`.
* In controllers, `use Pleroma.Web, :controller` will result in `action/2` (see `Pleroma.Web.controller/0` for definition) be called prior to actual controller action, and it'll perform security / privacy checks before passing control to actual controller action.
For routes with `:authenticated_api` pipeline, authentication & authorization are expected, thus `OAuthScopesPlug` will be run unless explicitly skipped (also `EnsureAuthenticatedPlug` will be executed immediately before action even if there was an early run to give an early error, since `OAuthScopesPlug` supports `:proceed_unauthenticated` option, and other plugs may support similar options as well).
For `:api` pipeline routes, it'll be verified whether `OAuthScopesPlug` was called or explicitly skipped, and if it was not then auth information will be dropped for request. Then `EnsurePublicOrAuthenticatedPlug` will be called to ensure that either the instance is not private or user is authenticated (unless explicitly skipped). Such automated checks help to prevent human errors and result in higher security / privacy for users.
## Non-OAuth authentication
* With non-OAuth authentication ([HTTP Basic Authentication](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Authorization) or HTTP header- or params-provided auth), OAuth scopes check is _not_ performed for any action (since password is provided during the auth, requester is able to obtain a token with full permissions anyways); auth plugs invoke `Pleroma.Helpers.AuthHelper.skip_oauth(conn)` in this case.
## Auth-related configuration, OAuth consumer mode etc.
See `Authentication` section of [the configuration cheatsheet](../configuration/cheatsheet.md#authentication).

+Akkoma requires some adjustments from the defaults for running the instance locally. The following should help you to get started.
## Installing
-1. Install Pleroma as explained in [the docs](../installation/debian_based_en.md), with some exceptions:
- * You can use your own fork of the repository and add pleroma as a remote `git remote add pleroma 'https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma'`
+1. Install Akkoma as explained in [the docs](../installation/debian_based_en.md), with some exceptions:
+ * You can use your own fork of the repository and add akkoma as a remote `git remote add akkoma 'https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma.git'`
* You can skip systemd and nginx and all that stuff
- * No need to create a dedicated pleroma user, it's easier to just use your own user
+ * No need to create a dedicated akkoma user, it's easier to just use your own user
* For the DB you can still choose a dedicated user, the mix tasks set it up for you so it's no extra work for you
* For domain you can use `localhost`
* instead of creating a `prod.secret.exs`, create `dev.secret.exs`
* No need to prefix with `MIX_ENV=prod`. We're using dev and that's the default MIX_ENV
2. Change the dev.secret.exs
* Change the scheme in `config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint` to http (see examples below)
* If you want to change other settings, you can do that too
3. You can now start the server `mix phx.server`. Once it's build and started, you can access the instance on `http://<host>:<port>` (e.g.http://localhost:4000 ) and should be able to do everything locally you normaly can.
Example config to change the scheme to http. Change the port if you want to run on another port.
Example config to disable captcha. This makes it a bit easier to create test-users.
```elixir
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Captcha,
enabled: false
```
Example config to change the log level to info
```elixir
config :logger, :console,
# :debug :info :warning :error
level: :info
```
## Testing
1. Create a `test.secret.exs` file with the content as shown below
2. Create the database user and test database.
- 1. You can use the `config/setup_db.psql` as a template. Copy the file if you want and change the database name, user and password to the values for the test-database (e.g. 'pleroma_local_test' for database and user). Then run this file like you did during installation.
- 2. The tests will try to create the Database, so we'll have to allow our test-database user to create databases, `sudo -Hu postgres psql -c "ALTER USER pleroma_local_test WITH CREATEDB;"`

## Updating
-Update Pleroma as explained in [the docs](../administration/updating.md). Just make sure you pull from upstream and not from your own fork.
+Update Akkoma as explained in [the docs](../administration/updating.md). Just make sure you pull from upstream and not from your own fork.
## Working on multiple branches
-If you develop on a separate branch, it's possible you did migrations that aren't merged into another branch you're working on. If you have multiple things you're working on, it's probably best to set up multiple pleroma's each with their own database. If you finished with a branch and want to switch back to develop to start a new branch from there, you can drop the database and recreate the database (e.g. by using `config/setup_db.psql`). The commands to drop and recreate the database can be found in [the docs](../administration/backup.md).
