On one hand I could probably write a blog post detailing how to build a basic ActivityPub server... On the other, it will do nothing to attract a non-tech audience 🤔

@Gargron Thank you very much for this nice tutorial. It works! 🤩 (No surprise, I guess). Still I've got a question: It seems like Mastodon caches the information it reads from the actor's JSON-LD. How long is this information cached and how do I update/invalidate it? @Gargron Is this blog post still relevant today? I tried following the steps however I couldn't get them to work. Therefore I created this issue here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23735 @lamp @bill I see but did the webfinger step work for you? I didn't receive any GET requests when I tried to look up my @user@homeserver on several Mastodon instances. I was expecting that to work because the post says: Maybe it will start working after I post a message 🤔 @Gargron I'm having a lot of trouble getting this to work still. I get an HTTP error 503 when I try to search for my user user1@revpub.net through mastodon.social. I have an nginx virtual host running with a JSON file named 'actor' and the webfinger static file at .well-known/webfinger. When I look through the nginx logs I don't see anything that gives any information on what could be going wrong. |
@Gargron it didn't work. Where would my INBOX be? 🤔
