The fediverse is amazing!
I can’t get over how cool it is to view my posts from any server. I’m definitely going to use activitypub for my social media I’m planning on making. I was going to use @Discourse , but considering it’s like #GitLab where you are only able to self host and each instance of discourse can’t interconnect makes me kinda sad. But activitypub seems like the only way I feel happy in both ways.
Are you a bot?
Or did you accidentally misconfigure a setting somewhere?
The OP posted from Mastodon (check their profile) hence the hashtags.
Which is cool!
@lemmyreader @MentalEdge I thought they were confused about me talking about server hosting or sometn related to activitypub.
Also, do most people know of this on fediverse? Jw
I think they were asking if you were a bot because your account has been set up as one: your profile on mstdn says ‘automated’, and if you do
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://mstdn.social/users/internetisscary | jq .
then it says your ActivityPub ‘type’ field is ‘Service’ rather than ‘Person’.@andrew_s oh, yeah I see that now lol.
I left that “automated” toggle on because I plan on making a, or using my bot I made for mastodon. But the server I originally signed up with (mstdn.ca) doesn’t support API’s. So I just totally forgot about it lol.
Hi @InternetIsScary@mstdn.social
Some people noticed earlier posts from Mastodon to Lemmy and thought it was cool. Guess it is a matter of getting used to for others 🙂
That’s not the part that had be confused. Their account literally has the “bot” badge enabled. People enable that accidentally on human user accounts sometimes.
👍 Yeah, I missed that 😐
@MentalEdge ? I’m 🤔 not sure I’m following…
@InternetIsScary@mstdn.social Yes, they are right. Check your Mastodon settings ?
OP isn’t a bot, I’ve seen some of their posts in the last few days. They are just happy to have joined the Fediverse
I checked their profile, hence my confusion, because their account is flagged as a bot account (which is a flag you set yourself when making the account/in profile settings).
