What should be the format for the author?

  • I cannot find @myname@my-blog-name on mastodon.

    I wonder whether it’s caused by the security plugin I use. It rewrites some addresses to make it harder for attackers. So, the author profile is NOT

    <my-blog-name>/author/<myname>

    but rather

    <my-blog-name>/somestring/<myname>

    The https://<my-blog-name>/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct%3A<myname>%40<my-blog-name&gt; returns

    {“subject”:”acct:<———->”,”aliases”:[“https:\/\/<my-blog-name>\/somestring\/my_name\/”],
    “links”:[{“rel”:”self”,”type”:”application\/activity+json”,”href”:
    “https:\/\/<my-blog-name>\/somestring\/<myname>\/”},
    {“rel”:”http:\/\/webfinger.net\/rel\/profile-page”,”type”:”text\/html”,
    “href”:”https:\/\/<my-blog-name>\/somestring\/<myname>\/”}]}

    Is this a cause of problem? Ie, do author profile must follow <site>/<author>/<name> convention?
