Content collections

"As an ActivityPub user, I want to browse someone's content, so I can see the different things they made."

"As an ActivityPub user, I want to view the content of people I follow, so I can see the different things they made."

ActivityPub's inbox and outbox collections are very linear and activity-focused. Content collections would let the client app focus on the objects rather than the activities.

I see a few different kinds of content collections:

• content inbox (there are probably better words for this): for all the Create activities in the inbox, show the (latest version of the) object. Maybe also Announce, Question, and some other content-ish types of activities.
• content outbox: same, but for the outbox
• content type collections: all the images I've made, all the notes I've made, all the articles I've made, all the videos I've made, all the audios I've made.
• albums: possibly heterogenous objects in themed collections, like "March 2024 trip to Greece" with 20 photos, 3 videos, and 4 journal articles.
