Why follow requests here and can I even be followed

Posted on January[²⁰26], Thursday 22.January[²⁰26], Thursday 22. By Shrimple No Comments on Why follow requests here and can I even be followed

I don’t know… I’ve initially set up this blog with not only the ActivityPub plugin but also with the IndieBlocks plugin β€” despite using a darn old cool theme that’s definitely not responsive and probably doesn’t have the block-based design that’s required β€” but I think it may have interfered by maybe putting up its own WebFinger or something. After all, I did at first get a warning in health checks that my webfinger well known is not accessible.

Now I chose to not go with IndieBlocks (at least for now, I have to read up on what it is and what’s it got in the code) and I’m told on some instances the follows aren’t expected to require approval per the metadata. But we’ll see, for now I didn’t get anyone to appear in the Followers section and I thus won’t know if this work.

But why care, being on ActivityPub is enough, the fact that a permalink can be searched up and shared as a fedi post is a lot. Now that I think of it, maybe I should draft up some post footer to inform readers of it. Not that otherwise perhaps, if linked, the post will show as a quote post anyway
