Because #BotsInSpace is shutting down () I'm looking for a new home for my bots.

Alrighty! Next silly #ActivityPub question.

Why can't Mastodon see my followers?

List of followers isn't available to Mastodon

I’ve written my own ActivityPub software which can be followed and post content to followers. That all works. I have a list of followers available at https://colours.bots.edent.tel/followers However, when I look at the…

SocialHub (socialhub.activitypub.rocks)

[lewis@social.lol]

@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?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@lewis It is colours.bots.edent.tel/colours (but you have to request it with the right accept header.)

[edent@mastodon.social]

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.

[db0@hachyderm.io]

@jsonarray I registered [email protected] but I can't get it to send me the email verification link. I've tried like three times.

[librenews@mastodon.social]

@Edent Ever find any new info about this? I'm creating my follower endpoint now and curious if I need to do something undocumented

[edent@mastodon.social]

@librenews nope! Not a clue. And I don't know how to get Mastodon to force a refresh.

[jsonarray@utter.online]

@db0 I approved it. Perhaps, email stopped working. I'll look into it. You should be able to login.

[db0@hachyderm.io]

@jsonarray Did you approve the email too?

[edent@mastodon.social]

A few updates to #ActivityBot - the super simple Fediverse Bot Server you can run anywhere.

Follow, Unfollow, Block, and Unblock other accounts

Bridge to BlueSky with your domain name via Bridgy Fed

[skylar@tilde.zone]

@Edent by any chance did you implement DMs so that you could link a domain name via Bridgy Fed?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@skylar NO! I did it for unrelated secret reasons!!!!

[luca@sironi.tk]

@Edent

nice job! Ever thought of a standard feature like the bot reposting a small group of fediverse account ? For example, pixelfed is not compatible with bridgy fed

[edent@mastodon.social]

@luca I don't really understand what you mean. But I think you should build it.

[edent@mastodon.social]

Can someone who is better at #ActivityPub syntax tell me what I've done wrong?

My bot @colours has a list of all its followers at

https://colours.bots.edent.tel/followers

But they're not being picked up by Mastodon.

The MIME type is correct, the JSON is valid, the pagination works, it responds to signed requests.

What super-obvious thing am I missing here?
