@nick - this was due to me activating the “signature verification” in ActivityPub, which is deactivated now.

Oh, not so stupid. No, I did not until ten seconds ago. But I was thinking that you should be able to find the user/blog to follow regardless of published post?

@nick @NickBohle @pfefferle

Great detective work. Now the big question: what could be the culprit for this wrong alias?

@nick @NickBohle @pfefferle

This is done when the ActivityPub plugin creates one endpoint for the site vs. author based endpoints. Seems to be a virtual user, or so it looks like.

I’d need to check the source code of ActivityPub to understand better. @pfefferle@mastodon.social to the rescue?

@pfefferle - is there an easy way to test a working ActivityPub installation? I have it running on https://www.rhein-neckar-tango.de, and webfinger looks good et al, but @news@www.rhein-neckar-tango.de cannot be found by three Mastodon instances that I tested. Any ideas?

@fraying @bix @pfefferle So essentially only the logged in commenter case is of your concern?

Maybe add a checkbox to the comment form to allow or disallow federation of the comment? This will create a ux nudge that something might happen that is unexpected

@fraying @bix @pfefferle

There is precedence of comments on blogs that don’t keep the comments only there. RSS feeds including comments, disqus and related comment replacements, … It wasn’t like there’s 20 years of comments and nothing else.

@fraying @bix @pfefferle

But isn’t this #thefediverseisnotjustmastodon all over again? If someone writes a big fat blog post on Hubzilla, and someone from fediverse comments, what happens?

Question to anyone who knows about the #activitypub plugin for #wordpress: how can you get correctly working hashtags and @mentions working in, eg Mastodon?
