I understand the next hours and days will be the peak of the current wave to the Fediverse (unless it causes a tipping point already).

So I want to offer my help to everybody who is new here.

I can help you with:
* finding the right instance (if you're not sure you found it)
* understanding how it all works
* editing your profile and settings
* finding your bubble
* helping others find you
* finding answers to further questions

I can help you by:
* replying publicly
* replying via DM
* videocall & screensharing (one on one or in groups)
* finding others who can answer the questions that I can't

This offer goes to:
* everybody (except trolls)
* not just people on one of our (Fediverse Foundation) instances
* not just people in the climatejustice movement
* not just people using Mastodon (though I don't have experience with all software flavors)
* not even only new people

I speak English and German.

Hey fedi, I need some help!

I am trying to connect an application I am making with the Fediverse. When I search for an actor I am successfully able to get to the profile (yay) but when I search for a post I cannot find it.

I am receiving the GET request and am sending the response with the content type ("application/activity+json") (for example):

{
"@context":"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"name":"New Note",
"type":"Note",
"id":"https://critters.jpleite.eu/posts/1",
"attributedTo":"https://critters.jpleite.eu/users/1",
"content":"Hello there!",
"to":[]
}

Why would Mastodon not display the post?
The on Mastodon’s side is returning 403 action not allowed.

Thank you
