No problem.
In my head I was thinking of a Federated account like a WordPress blog that has ActivityPub installed and confirmed working. Everyone in the Fediverse can see it, but having it followed and posted in Forum puts it there in front of the Community for a more direct conversation.
I am gonna start installing and trying to figure out ActivityPub into my Drupal projects even if I am not thrilled with my previous dealings with that module.

Thanks, tells me what I needed to know. Even on Mastodon I only really use Hashtags on posts and not on replies so that tracks for personal usage.
