   So I activated #ActivityPub on infullflow.net, but the user profile I created cannot be found when I search for it on Mastodon. Not sure what the problem is. Now what?

     @sl007 @elmine Can you share your blogs identifier with me? Maybe I can check for some common issues! You can also check your WordPress‘ site health page for some issues!

     @sl007 I’m on Wordpress and searched for the handle.

     How or with what software did you create it?
     Did you try to search for the full url or the handle?

     @elmine @sl007 Your site seems very slow atm.

     Do you use some kind of caching plugin? It seems that all ActivityPub calls will return HTML instead of JSON on your site.

     @pfefferle @sl007 Thanks for stepping in. The one related issue to ActivityPub says (in Dutch): Je auteur URL https://infullflow.net/author/admin/ geeft geen geldige JSON terug voor application/activity+json. Controleer of je hosting alternatieve Accept headers ondersteunt.

     I figured this shouldn’t be an issue as I defined a site wide identification (blog@infullflow.net), but maybe that’s a wrong assumption on my side.

     @elmine @sl007 Your hoster seem to also not allow WebFinger https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=admin%40infullflow.net or https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=blog%40infullflow.net

     @elmine @sl007 @bekopharm thats hard to tell...

     ActivityPub has some requirements, that might be tricky for some shared hosting envs and/or caching plugins.

     Maybe you can check if you have a plugin in your list that has "cache" or "performance" in the name.

     @pfefferle @sl007 @bekopharm also pointed me at this and wondered if it was a plugin preventing that. My knowledge on this kind of stuff is very limited, though. Is it my installation or my hoster? And indeed my website has been slow for a while. Have been contemplating moving to a different hoster, but I’ve been with this company for a very long time.

     @pfefferle @elmine

     just btw rant;
     Please note that webfinger is a mastodon thing, just a point of failure which is _not_ in the ActivityPub spec. cause ActivityPub does not necessarily force you to clone the twitter-handle style. :)

     @ton @elmine @sl007 Hey Ton, nice to see you testing the plugin :)

     Yes, it seems that WebFinger is working when not using WebFinger.net. That’s good so far and the content negotiation seem to also work fine now (I don't know what you have done).

     Maybe the server still blocks the requests from Mastodon, the same way as WebFinger.net?!?

     @pfefferle @elmine @sl007 What is the expected response to the webfinger endpoint? (I fake the webfinger file on my zylstra.org domain so that I can be found by my e-mail adress, which then points to this account on my Masto instance.) So what is the actual reponse expected, what are the aliases it should reply with? Like if I search for @ton it gives back m.tzyl.eu/@ton and /users/ton, what is the equivalent actor's url in WP? I could fake it and see if that works

     @ton @elmine do the settings show this as URL? it should be something like zylstra.org/@follow

     @pfefferle @elmine no dice, the profile url https://www.zylstra.org/blog/@follow also doesn't get found. Maybe something in the rewrite rules?

     @pfefferle @elmine @sl007 except, I don't know the template url, guessing https://www.zylstra.org/blog/authorize_interaction?uri={uri} if that's correct.
