Update!You can now move followers from your old bot accounts to your new self-hosted ones.
So now @[email protected] points at @[email protected] - and all the followers have moved!
Source code at https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

@owenblacker Yup! A single domain per "instance".
Subdomains are free
-
OK! My self-hosted ActivityPub Bot works with a few hundred followers.
I'm going to try and move @colours which has over 1,000 followers (WHY?!?!) and see if it copes with that.
All the code's at https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/
-
Hmmm. About 1,000 followers have moved over to the new account - @colours
I can see my messages being sent. But they don't seem to be received. Not entirely sure what's going on and am half a bottle of Malbec into the evening, so probably shouldn't be futzing around with code.
One for the morning, I fear!
-
@Edent I’m delighted to see you added the move support. Do you think doing the reverse is also feasible, so if the experiment fails it doesn’t become the Hotel California?
-
@jochie I suspect so
Please raise an issue on the repo so I don't forget. -
OK. What is going on here?
A bunch of people can see the posts sent out by @colours - but lots of people can't.
As far as I can see, Mastodon.social isn't sending me back an HTTP response when I send to a shared inbox. But other Mastodon-based servers happily accept it.
Here are the headers

-
@Edent If it helps, I can’t see posts from it and I’m on mstdn.social which I think is the same admins?
-
@jackmcconnell I'm wondering if my cURL Multi Handle has gone wrong somewhere?
-
Hmmm. My cURL Multi Handle is only showing 32 successful requests.
That *feels* like a suspicious number!

@Edent "*feels* like a suspicious number" - ah, kabbalah debugging FTW

@brucelawson frankly, it's the only thing I've got!
-
Yup. Weird cURL Multi Handle bug. Sending 1,000 at a time didn't work. Sending 15 did.
A bit slower, but not disastrous.
-
Alrighty! Next silly #ActivityPub question.
Why can't Mastodon see my followers?

@Edent Can you share the link to the actor JSON for the bot too, please? Could it be that it’s not properly referenced from there?
-
@lewis It is colours.bots.edent.tel/colours (but you have to request it with the right accept header.)

I *think* I've got this #ActivityPub syntax correct.
http://colours.bots.edent.tel/followers
That should be paginated followers, but I can't see the followers in any Mastodon client.
-
@jsonarray I registered [email protected] but I can't get it to send me the email verification link. I've tried like three times.
