A bit of an edge case, but can be confusing. If you have a topic in a Shared Drafts category and with a tag that has an ActivityPub actor, you can get to this state:
Got it. Will investigate in the next day or so
And if you have time, even it is not high priority, that Invalid date
is a bit annoying. It will change to real date after first comment/post, though.
Hey guys, could you share some more details on how you reproduce either of those issues? (Shared drafts and invalid date) I can't repro either of them currently.

Tested this now. I created a new topic under Shared Drafts with an AP-enabled tag:
I am not getting the Invalid date
issue, however, the post shouldn’t be marked as published. In fact, publishing shouldn’t start at all, this is a topic in a private category. Just saw it published to https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/testing-a-shared-drafts-issue-with-activitypub/5079
.
I think that behaviour may have been intentional at some point, but I agree it’s not desirable.
