@Profpatsch @smallcircles I think what you described, and implemented with @happy-programming, is something similar to how I would want the infamous "Groups" feature of GNU/Social to work on ActivityPub. An account (Actor of type "Group") that announces certain posts mentioning it with the ability to curate content by its administrators/owners. There have been some small developments on something like that (private groups), but the implementations of it aren't fully compatible with each other.
A group could then Announce all posts mentioning it automatically (like gup.pe) did, could automatically Announce posts only from certain users/instances, or be completely manual approval.
I've described a technical-ish way of achieving that here: https://fluffytail.org/notice/B3kqzWyRLBzINkG3IO

@phnt @happy-programming @Profpatsch What was also interesting re: #GNUSocial is the unfortunately retracted #ActivityPub #FEP on Unbound Groups i.e. groups (or organizations) that are not bound to a single instance. See #FEP2100 at https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/2100/fep-2100.md
