Getting posts to show, and correct alias to be used

[nigelsim]

Hi, I am trying to get my Hugo blog setup to work with Hatsu using JsonFeed.

I've configured the redirects, added an alias of nigel so that the full address should be @[email protected], and put <link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json" href="https://hatsu.nigelsim.org/posts/{{ .Permalink }}" /> in the page templates.

But, when I search @[email protected] from Mastodon I get @[email protected] as the username back, and no posts show up in the list.

Can anyone offer any guidance as to whether I should be able to my preferred username to work, along with the posts showing (which is that whole point for me), or if this is a current limitation.

Thank you

This has to do with the mechanics of how Fediverse works. When someone on the current server does not subscribe a user, no new posts will be actively pushed.

You can try browsing your account in browser.pub: https://browser.pub/@[email protected]

browser.pub is fantastic - I was looking for something like this.

If I wanted to achieve the username I'm after, would it be possible to proxy Hatsu behind the blog's address, or something like that? It seems that the key is making the main subject correct, but other than webfinger, I'm not sure what else I'd need to get working.

I note that webfinger for @[email protected] doesn't resolve correctly. The redirect is working as expected, but Hatsu isn't resolving it. https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=%40nigel%40blog.nigelsim.org

Also, I notice that all the posts are published at the same time, rather than using the date_published from the feed.json. Is this expected?

I am reading FEP-4adb and trying to solidify my understanding of how this all works.

Hatsu should be able to handle this alias correctly. I'll take a look

The publishing time depends on when Hatsu processes the post.

Further to the webfinger "issue". If I query acct:[email protected] it returns what was expected, but @[email protected] does not, even though @[email protected] does.

Looking at the code it's clear what is happening, but should the @user@host format work for webfinger, or is this a quirk of the hatsu implementation?

resource=acct:[email protected] should be the current standard for Webfinger, I'm not aware of any other formats.
