Is it okay if the instance actor id is equivalent to the instance url? Does anyone know if most other implementaions support this?
Also if anyone can help with debugging some activity delivery issues that would be awesome 🙏 #activitypub #fedidev

@lauti@bonfire.cafe Yes, but.
I did this and I found that some remote servers don't set the Accept header correctly when fetching the server actor. They get tangled up in the content negotiation.
I eventually made the server actor use the same routes as the other actors on the server, except with the domain name as its preferredUsername. This seems to work really well, especially with default Webfinger lookup.
@evan@activitypub.space Interesting! Do you rememeber with which software had troubles?
Regarding preferredUsername did you configure it so that you could search for @instance?
@lauti It's okay, Lemmy and Friendica put a server actor there.
>activity delivery issues
My server drops your Accept activity because you don't sign the Digest header.
@silverpill@mitra.social yes, that was it! We succesfully federated the first event from lauti to mastodon (and maybe other fediverse software too) 🎉
If you want to receive random test events follow @events@lauti.sankara.klasse-methode.it 😆
@lauti should be totally fine to serve an actor from the domain
@events@lauti.sankara.klasse-methode.it is our test server. But if you try to follow it the Accept is not being delivered properly
