Anyone run a Mastodon serve rI can have an account on to help test the Twtxt <-> Activity Pub bridge? 🙏

@bender I need another side that I can unblame 🤣

I think because it still inserted the wrong alias in my following list:

# follow = manton@bridge.twtxt.net https://bridge.twtxt.net/twtxt/remote/d428c49928a4a0d1.txt

I’m not currently sure why this is tab-completing incorrectly hmmm 🧐

Testing 1 2 3 @manton

ap-verify: a67864d4229ae22f5f60

Wow :O That didn’t work!

Test @-mentioning an AP actor via the Bridge. Hey @manton 👋

verify: 3074975949c3b0d27df4

I need some test Activity Pub / Mastodon users to test with 🤔

And this isn’t even me, it’s the other end 🤣

WOW LOL

fetch https://weaknotes.com/users/david: status 500 Internal Server Error

First real test failed trying to lookup / follow @david@weaknotes.com

Haha 🤣 I wonder what the reliability of executing a sleep in a 200 billion year loop cycle is? 🤔

For those curious, the new Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge I’m building (bidirectional) simply requires three things:

1. You register your Twtxt feed to the bridge: https://bridge.twtxt.net
   
2. You verify that you in fact own/control the feed by putting the verification code somewhere on/in your feed (doesn’t matter where or how)
   
3. You proxy/forward requests for /.well-known/webfinger to the Bridge bridge.twtxt.net.
   

I’m still testing through and ironing out bugs 🐛 Please be patient! 🙏

technically I can put the Bridge verificaiton code in my feed’s metadata so no-one really ever sees or notices it 🤔 Maybe I’ll add a first-class button/field thingy in yarnd so users can “register their feed” straight from their pod? 🤔

@bender Twtxt <-> ActivityPub (2nd time’s the charm? 🤣)

Testing new design, architecture and implementation of a Twtxt bridge I’m working on…

verification-token: ee9bc4da3356f4990671

Please ignore.

Reacher out to Mike on BlueSky.

whoo fix a long stnading bug with identicons for feeds with no avatar in their metadata

Hint:

# nick = ...
# avatar = ...

@bender Just wrote better code with tests 🤣

Fixed

Hmmm all these tilde.club feeds have no # nick and is messing with yarnd’s behavior 😅

I spent a few mins on teh tilde website, and for the life of me I can’t find a way to contact anyone responsible/accountable for this wonderful little service 🤣

Is it worth me reaching out to the operator and helping build some solution for their userbase to detect followers? 🧐
