Spent a little time today getting my blog moved over to @write_as / writefreely and digging into the source code to resolve a few issues I had. Opened one PR to fix a small issue and hacked on the cli trying to add support for writefreely instead of just write.as only.
Blog at: @blog i'm not sure why my request to follow is still pending. @writeas_dev ?
Excited to play around with this further.
@geekgonecrazy @write_as A follow request will only show as "pending" if the "Accept" response we send back to Mastodon doesn't get accepted -- so there's probably some validation failing on that end.
After a quick glance, I'd imagine this is because the site is configured as http://geekgonecrazy but the site redirects to https://... -- maybe since those don't match, Mastodon isn't accepting the "Accept" request
@writeas_dev @write_as ah! Yes that was definitely the case! I've re-initialized the follow request.
So far no change, also don't see anything in the logs 🤔
@geekgonecrazy You might have to search for the blog by URL, including the https:// part -- otherwise I'd make sure writefreely is running with the --debug flag to see what the federation requests look like.
@writeas_dev heh.. added via https it worked. Then turned debug on and tried adding @blog and it worked. 🤦♂️ will revisit if it comes back :)
