The Podcast Index ActivityPub bridge now properly handles Mastodon "authorized fetch". If you had trouble following a podcast from an authorized fetch enabled instance, please cancel that follow and try again.

This may also resolve other sporadic follow issues from Sharkey/Misskey instances. Testing from people on those platforms would be welcome.

thx: @tchambers

@tchambers For sure. I'm taking notes as I build this for a blog post I'll write detailing all of the gotcha's. That post will be intended for developers that are nervous about the complexity of AP, to show them it's not actually very hard.

@dave I think I'm still seeing being in "perpetual almost following mode" with PodcastIndex accounts I try to follow. Continually seem to be in the requested mode, but not following yet.

Happy to be a beta tester on that bug.

@tchambers Thanks for the bump on this.

@tchambers I requested an acct on indieweb.social so I can troubleshoot directly.

@tchambers, try following Pivot again.

@tchambers I was able to follow from my test account, but when issuing the "latest" command to get the most recent episode I got a signing failure. Let me dig in tonight and see what's going on.

@BeAware @tchambers Thanks. I'll have to go read about authorized fetch. I'm not familiar with it.

@tchambers @BeAware Ok, so this looks like enabling that requires request signing for everything instead of just POST requests. That would be where the issue is since I think the bridge doesn't sign requests for things like Actor lookups. I'll start there.

@marcoarment Are you seeing discrepancies in the Apple lookup API lately? For instance, this ID:

1741984871

...returns nothing in their API but it's clearly a valid podcast ID:

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-runna-podcast/id1741984871

Just trying to make sure I'm not crazy.

"On Bluesky, server choice doesn’t affect what content you see. [...] A focus on the global conversation:" [1]

Already lost me. The local first model is the best part of ActivityPub to me. I don't want to have a conversation with all of humanity. I don't think humans are built to handle that.
