OK Fedifriends, I need your help with some complex ActivityPub stuff.

Mastodon won't show a list of followers for @colours

It has an orderedcollection at colours.bots.edent.tel/followe… which paginates properly.

The mimetype and JSON are all correct, I think.

You can check out the source code at gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

What magical incantation do I need to do to help Mastodon see the details of the account's followers?

Feel free to reply here or on the repo.

#ActivityPub #MastodonAPI #JSON

What are the *technical* steps behind moving a Mastodon account?

I understand how to do it from a user perspective (docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mov…) but what does the new server need to do?

Is it as simple as adding an "aliases" to the webfinger?

#MastodonAPI #ActivityPub

Goodness me! The ActivityPub network is chatty.
In the last 6 hours, I've received 371 different messages to my single-user inbox.

Most of which seem to be from servers announcing users have been deleted. They're not users or servers I've seen before.

Is this normal?

#MastoAdmin #MastodonAPI

particularly valuable quote in there from @nilay_patel "all the action is on Mastodon. That is where the app developers are, the platform is accelerating, and the underlying fediverse boundaries are growing".

This, to me, is absolutely key. Many of the things that made Twitter, Twitter, came from the developer ecosystem - having a vibrant ecosystem around #ActivityPub, #MastodonAPI and #Pixelfed and others can be instrumental for future growth and diversification of the communities.
