Yup, for example in the topic you linked.

That’s a “feature” (of sorts) you see in some AP platforms. I’d note that the ActivityPub spec provides:

The HTTP GET method may be dereferenced against an object’s id property to retrieve the activity. Servers MAY use HTTP content negotiation as defined in [RFC7231] to select the type of data to return in response to a request, but MUST present the ActivityStreams object representation in response to application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" , and SHOULD also present the ActivityStreams representation in response to application/activity+json as well. The client MUST specify an Accept header with the application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" media type in order to retrieve the activity.

See also “Serialization” in Activity Streams 2.0.

The AP plugin currently requires you to send an Accept header with either “application/ld+json” or “application/activity+json” to retrieve any object (i.e. Activity, Note etc). We may support what you’re referring to in the future, but it’s somewhat of a “power user” feature of specific platforms.
