Does the #Bluesky bridge thing use some kind of odd
content-typewhen requesting profile data? I'm seeing these errors in my logs when my server tries to retrieve posts (as part of my reply retrieval functions):[2025-12-09T00:59:33Z ERROR enigmatick::retriever] Failed to fetch object from remote. URL: https://bsky.brid.gy/convert/ap/at://did:plc:oofa3qqoiszsmajbigfqskqv/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7egmddbwk2h, Status: 502 Bad Gateway, Body: <!doctype html> <html lang=en> <title>502 Bad Gateway</title> <h1>Bad Gateway</h1> <p>Couldn't fetch https://enigmatick.social/user/jdt as ActivityStreams 2: Couldn't decode as JSON</p>If I'm reading that right, my
retrieveris failing because the bridge is trying to retrieve my profile and can't convert it to JSON. But I verified that my profile is provided as JSON for requests with theseAcceptheader types:application/jsonapplication/activity+jsonapplication/ld+jsonapplication/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams
...so I can't figure out what it's complaining about. I'll need to watch my varnish logs to see if I can capture one of the requests live from that perspective.

@jdt this seems like it could use a @snarfed.org tag :)

liaizon@social.wake.st I pinged him, he says he can't respond yet because of the aforementioned connection negotiation issue! 🙂

Hey jdt@enigmatick.social, sorry for the trouble! We send
Accept: application/activity+json, application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", text/html; charset=utf-8; q=0.5with our AP fetches, which seems to make enigmatick.social 303 redirect to the HTML profile page, eg/@jdthere.(Sorry for the complicated Accept header! We get URLs from various places, so if a URL isn't an AP id, we want to fall back to handling it as HTML and find its AP object via a rel-alternate link.)

@julian@activitypub.space My guess is that his JSON processor is choking on a non-standard tag I have in my profile (e.g.,
keysorephemeral.webfinger). I should clean up the latter since it's intended for client operations only.But it is valid JSON either way. The
ephemeralobject might cause a JSON-LD parser to choke since I don't declare it in the@context. -

-
@julian@activitypub.space I think I see the issue on @snarfed's post on your site (thanks @snarfed). I don't currently handle
application/activity+jsonrequests for the URL (i.e., https://enigmatick.social/@jdt). I only handle those on the ID (i.e., https://enigmatick.social/user/jdt).I don't see any harm in adding that to the URL, so I'll add a
301to redirectapplication/activity+jsonrequests for/@jdtto/user/jdt.It's odd, though - my logs seem to indicate that the bridge server is requesting
/user/jdtalready. -
@julian@activitypub.space I see the issue clearly now and can reproduce it (thanks @snarfed). It's just the complexity of the
Acceptheader - I'll dig into why mynginxconfiguration isn't handling that well. -

if let Some(accept) = headers.get(header::ACCEPT) { if let Ok(accept_str) = accept.to_str() { if accept_str.contains("text/html") { log::debug!("Redirecting to presentation page"); return Ok(AbstractResponse::Redirect(Redirect::to(&format!( "/@{username}" )))); } if accept_str.contains("application/activity+json") { log::debug!("Returning application/activity+json"); return Ok(AbstractResponse::ActivityJson(ActivityJson(actor))); } if accept_str.contains("application/ld+json") { log::debug!("Returning application/ld+json"); return Ok(AbstractResponse::LdJson(LdJson(actor))); } } }Just a priority issue with the existence of
text/html. I'll rearrange. -

Acceptheader per RFC specifications now (i.e., by explicit weight first and by order second). -
@julian@activitypub.space BTW, I love that your interface uses rich formatting for markdown code blocks - so many platforms just phone that bit in.
Enigmatick uses highlight.js too, so I tend to use that a lot.

jdt@enigmatick.social thanks! Yeah it was important to me to get that right. That little highlight library has been chugging along all this time lol.

Off topic. Wrt the toot above, I noticed that it was immediately boosted by 2 automated actors. But I only received a 'boosted' notification for one. The boost by @general did not lead to a notification in my #Mastodon web UI.
-
Perhaps I still got to get used to it, but unwieldy #UX for quoting in #Mastodon.
The boost icon opens a new dropdown menu, with an extra click required, and changing post visibility leads to opening a full configuration dialog you must configure and save.
What are your default preferences wrt quote posts?

Polls are rendering!
screenshot of the latest emoji poll rendered on the ktistec serverI'm working to get all of the little visual elements available across the Fediverse to render in a usable way on Ktistec. When released, users will also be able to vote on polls.
-
@julian possibly, but I was trying to answer to what I thought was Çağan's argument.
It feels to me like there was no confusion about ActivityPub being able to update a preferredUsername, name or any other property of an Actor outside of it's ID.
I was hoping he didn't confuse Mastodon for ActivityPub but maybe I'm wrong. :D
-
mariusor@metalhead.club might you be conflating username changes and account migrations?
Changing preferredUsername (or maybe it was name, I forget now) is pretty well supported if you're not Mastodon.

Well, it would be a great way to promote the #Fediverse.
