@pfefferle is this supposed to work? silently fails when I try to follow my mastodon account

[stephtara@indieweb.social]

@pfefferle also "Once you’ve enabled the Fediverse setting, your new Fediverse profile has been created! You can now share your Fediverse name with others so they can subscribe to your blog on their own Fediverse account. " -- not sure what my fediverse name is in this context (playing with steph.wordpress.com)

@stephtara oh! I will look into it! thanks for reporting!

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@stephtara I think we should link to the place where you find the handle (name) or add it directly to the message!

@stephtara 🤔

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@stephtara and here is your profile in the reader!?

[stephtara@indieweb.social]

@pfefferle can't follow @pfefferle.wordpress.com either... is it because my wp.com account is too old? paint wasn't dry yet when I signed up hahaha... or because my main blog is climbtothestars.org (with jetpack linked to my wp.com account?)

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@stephtara several things:

1. It seems that you configured your blog to work with brid.gy: https://climbtothestars.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct%3Astephanie%40climbtothestars.org

this interferes with the WordPress plugin, so that it might not properly work.

2. Jetpack is no longer properly connected to your WordPress.com account, so this might also come into play.
