Fediverse not working with AM

Hi @alexisj,

I have a suspicion: Would you try re-enabling Meow and turn off (uncheck) the “Prevent User Enumeration” setting?

If that removes the conflict for you, I should be able to cook up a workaround that will allow you to turn those protections back on.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer and suggestion @blobfolio .

Indeed, only disable this make it works.

(Mastodon users can follow my blog with ActivityPub plugin, also with Apocalypse Meow enabled, but “Prevent User Enumeration unchecked)

(it was not enought to disable “Error Instead of Redirect” and/or “Track Enumeration Failures”)

Thanks for confirming, @alexisj!

I just released a new version of Meow (21.7.5) that should fix the issue.

When you have a moment, would you please try updating Meow, turn “Prevent User Enumeration” back on, and see if ActivityPub is still happy?

I’ll leave this ticket open for the time being.

Thanks again!

Hi! thank you for the new release.

It seems to work but only if “Error Instead of Redirect” and “Track Enumeration Failures” remains unchecked.

Interesting.

ActivityPub is probably looking for content with user IDs rather than following the site’s permalink structure, getting it into trouble with those other two settings.

I guess the answer for now is to just leave those last two options unchecked. Meow will still be able catch any bad actors once they move onto the login page.

Thank you for all the back-and-forth! Your feedback is much appreciated.
