Hello friends! I'm still testing out my personal ActivityPub server - and I need *your* help 🙂

If you click this link → @example ←

Do you see the user's account or a page of JSON code?

If you do see the code, could you please let me know which platform / app you're using?

THANKS GANG!

I get a page of JSON

Something else (what?)

In Tusky, I get a profile.

On Mastodon web, it opens a page of JSON

When you say "blank" - can you see the user's avatar image & description? Or is it totally blank?

Thanks!

@Edent I can see a description, default elephant graphic (no picture?)

@voltagex now that is *strange*!
I can't understand why the picture wouldn't come through.
Thanks for letting me know.

@Edent @example I'm using the web app of Mastodon and when I click that link I see the profile okay in a column, but if I go to "Browse more on the original profile" I see the JSON code in a new tab.

I'm using Chrome, on Chrome OS.

@ppk thanks for letting me know.
Very weird that some Mastodon servers pick up the account and others don't.
Show threadppk 🇪🇺Feb 21, 2024
@Edent It depends on the server? Oh wow, I thought you were doing a browser test.
Show threadTerence EdenFeb 21, 2024
@ppk well, half and half. I *think* it depends on the server, but the app might also play a part.
I don't think the specific browser makes a difference, but I'll tally up the results and see.

@Edent JSON on Firefox 120 on Linux (Debian).

Fedilab 3.28 takes like 10 seconds to display the user profile, until then shows a blank page.

Show threadWinter Jo   ❄️Feb 21, 2024

@Edent @example

if i click it, i get a user page in mastodon, and if i go to "view original profile", i get JSON

mastodon itself differentiates the content it returns based on the `Accept` header the client sends (text/html vs activitypub+json (or something like that)), maybe you can do something of the same? :3

@Edent If I click it when logged in to my Mastodon instance’s web UI, I get (my instance’s locally cached copy of) the profile. Open it in an incognito window or similar, I get redirected to the original server and see only JSON (which makes sense, your `username()` function outputs only JSON, there’s no content negotiation going on). @example
