Unable to find or follow other accounts (Pixelfed, Fedified WordPress...)

[cybeardjm]

Just created my pod and installed Mastopod.

• was able to follow and be followed by my main Mastodon account.
  But:
• Pixelfed: account is found, appears on screen, but the follow button seems to do nothing.
• Friendica: blank/empty Mastopod screen
• WordPress + ActivityPub plugin (x 2): blank/empty Mastopod screen

Thanks for reporting this ! We haven't tested every software yet. Most likely the blank screen is due to some data formatting incompatibilities (ActivityPub spec is very loose about this).

If you could give us the webfinger ID of the accounts you were trying to view/follow, that could help us quickly reproduce the problem.

Hello,
WordPress blogs, via AP:

• AMF https://amf.didiermary.fr/.well-known/webfinger/?resource=acct:[email protected]
• WWW https://www.didiermary.fr/.well-known/webfinger/?resource=acct:[email protected]

Not sure what they are for Pixelfed / Friendica:

• https://friendica.opensocial.space/profile/cybeardjm
• https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/586574874023738745

To be sure, I retried the WP+AP search without a cache plugin, as this sometimes is the reason profiles are unseen/unfound, but the result is the same.

BTW, trying to find my activitypod profile from Friendica shows no direct result.
From Pixelfed, it seems to work. Waiting for the follow to be broadcast to the pod...

re:Pixelfed
Could find my pod and follow it. But this "follow" still doesn't appear back in the pod...

PS: note that the public name appears as "user" and there's no profile picture. In Mastodon, the public name is replaced by the username, and there's no PP either.
