"attributedTo": "https://mastodon.social/users/reiver",

It would instead output something more like:

"attributedTo": {
"id":"https://mastodon.social/users/reiver",
"type":"Person",
"name":"Charles",
"preferredUsername": "reiver",
"icon": {...},
"image": {...},
}

This way the Activity* document contains everything needed to render it.
