This may limit interoperability because audience is supposed to contain IDs (either actor IDs or collection IDs). I think many servers don’t even check audience, and rely only on to and cc.
Here’s how these special strings could be translated into IDs for to / cc:
- me: current actor ID.
- instance: special collection ID, similar to https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public. Prior art: Akkoma uses https://server.example/#Public for local-only posts.
- followers: actor’s followers collection ID.
- everyone: https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public
