Found this helpful resource by Ben Boyter (@boyter): a collection of sequence diagrams explaining how #ActivityPub/#WebFinger works in practice—covering post creation, follows, boosts, deletions, and user migration.
If you're trying to implement ActivityPub, the spec can be frustratingly vague […]
What about @identity.maikel.dev oh so from anyone BUT Mastodon I can use any of my domains as handles.
_Interesting_ 🤔
#Mastodon #Webfinger
Does #snac support custom #WebFinger implementation so that I can use a vanity domain to handle identities?
In #WebFinger, are there any relations that use the `template` property instead of the `href` property, excluding the `http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0/subscribe` relation?

Seit dem letzten Update habe ich einen Hinweis in meiner #Nextcloud.
Der Webserver ist nicht ordnungsgemäß für die Auflösung von `.well-known`-URLs eingerichtet. Fehler bei: `/.well-known/webfinger`
Wer kann mich unterstützen?
#Webfinger #31.0.8 #allinkl.com
Side-by-side comparison of `fedify node` command output showing terminal favicon display. Left side shows broken display on terminal without truecolor support with corrupted color blocks. Right side shows proper display after the fix with clean, correctly rendered favicon and NodeInfo output including mastodon.social server information and statistics.
🎉 Huge shoutout to two amazing contributors from Korea's #OSSCA program who've made excellent contributions to #Fedify!

🎉 Big thanks to @2chanhaeng for his first contribution to #Fedify! He implemented the new `fedify webfinger` command in PR #278, which allows isolated #WebFinger lookups for testing configurations. This addresses the need for developers to test WebFinger functionality without performing […]
Die allermeisten Kreisverbände von #b90diegrunen nutzen Wordpress, das ihnen sehr oft von Verdigado zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Jeder dieser Kreisverbände könnte insofern ad hoc im Fediverse relevant werden. #ActivityPub und #Webfinger-Plugin installieren, fertig.
Fetching remote ActivityPub objects or actors often involves handling WebFinger lookups, content negotiation, and then parsing potentially untyped JSON.
With Fedify, it's much simpler: use `Context.lookupObject()`. Pass it a URI (e.g., `https://instance.tld/users/alice` _or_ a handle (e.g […]
I've set up a Snac instance and it all seems to work, but am I right in thinking that it doesn't support webfinger queries, or have I set something up wrong? #snac #webfinger
Oma #nextcloud palvelin on nyt toiminnassa, ja säädetty kuntoon. Muutama havainto asiaan liittyen heille, jotka suunnittelevat itsehostaamista:
1) Nextcloud -asennuksen voi tehdä monella tapaa. Itse ajoin testin vuoksi asennukset #dietpi distron, #snap paketin ja #AIO (All-In-One) paketin […]
Fun fact: the #Fediverse doesn’t just depend on #ActivityPub.
A good portion of it runs on #WebFinger. It’s why we’re able to find each other across different servers running vastly different software.

I've a static #hugo site hosted on an apache webserver. I want to be findable on mastodon via my email addresses and didn't like the "catch all" nature of just creating a `.well-known/webfinger` file. So here is a mod_rewrite solution:

Issue №3:
If we are going to use Internet domain-names, maybe host-meta could be replaced by a DNS TXT or DNS SRV record.

[microdon]
Added basic webfinger support to microdon.
#microdon #webfinger
My hope is that @bsky.app / @atproto.com will eventually add #WebFinger as a third discovery mechanism, possibly deprecating the other non-DNS mechanism
That would enable a single solution for discovery on Bluesky, #Mastodon, #OpenIDConnect etc
bsky.app/profile/voxp...
Sadly Bluesky doesn’t use the same /.well-known/ that eg. Mastodon and OpenID Connect uses, the one called #WebFinger: bsky.app/profile/voxp...
A tooltip next to some text entries, stating: "This entry must start with one of: https://mastodon.social/@, https://mastodon.online/@, https://mstdn.social/@, https://mstdn.games/@, https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@"
I can somewhat excuse #itchio for not resolving #fediverse handles with #WebFinger, effectively limiting their support to (not all) #Mastodon instances even if their reason to not do so is rather silly, but this coming out of #Valve's resourceful #Steam is just ridiculous.
You don’t have to use DNS either, they support a URL file flow as well, and could really add support for #WebFinger as well bsky.app/profile/voxp...
No atproto user found for did:plc:ebqlm3q42nocrrbcfip2tj7u
#BridgyFed wtf does this mean, my #fediverse instance can't do a #webfinger lookup for this user which pretty much breaks federation
i wanna renote one of their posts to my misskey :\
Not sure why #ATproto uses /.well-known/atproto-did to discover handles rather than using #WebFinger like #Mastodon and having a rel-self to a did:plc URI
Feels needless to have two discovery layers? And would have enabled the same handle resolution for both Mastodon and Bluesky?
Today I learned that the host-meta spec that I thought was completely abandoned when #webfinger was picked up by standardisation by another group than @blaine – that host-meta standard, which is published as #RFC6415 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6415 seems to actually be fully […]
@colin If you install the #WebFinger plugin as a result of installing #ActivityPub plugin, you'll want to delete your own customized WebFinger file. It would be nice if the plugin detected that and let you know.
