Mo Ibrahim on African development:

'The decline of aid should not be seen as some sort of cliff-edge moment for Africa. It was never going to be enough to finance Africa’s development — and our huge continent’s place in the new global economy should never be determined by the generosity of international partners....

Africans must not fear Africa. We need to start investing in ourselves'!

Its been said before but Africans can (and must) do it for themselves!

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
