snarfed / bridgy-fed Goto Github PK

The Bridgy Fed page says one can just use Granary to convert mf2 content to Atom for federation use... it shows putting a "hub" argument in to the granary URL, but would my site need to support something (like PSHB notifications for the HTML page) in order for this to work, or does it poll?

I have other stuff that uses things in that directory, and also redirecting the whole thing would give you the power to generate LetsEncrypt certs for my domain :)

I know it's standard IndieWeb practice to have only one user on the domain, but that doesn't necessarily mean their name is "me", and it's misleading to return (for example) WebFinger data that claims it's for acct:[email protected] when that address doesn't exist.

For example, on my site, I've provided an email address in my representative h-card. When this is done, I think it would be appropriate for Bridgy Fed to use that email address to construct the acct: identifier for the user.

Hi. I've found that the 'actor' URL contains the key 'followers' with an URL that when followed returns a 404 with the following additional info:

Error: Not Found
The requested URL /triptico.com/followers was not found on this server.

As far as I know, the ActivityPub spec recommends not to announce services that are not implemented. Or is it another kind of error? I'm sure fed.brid.gy keeps an internal list of followers because everything else works (i.e. posts are propagated to everyone that follows, so the follower list is somewhere inside).

On the other hand, I find your software useful and operative. Keep the good work.

Ángel

I know this whole thing is WIP, just filing this :)

So far, focus seems to be on inbound salmon, etc. Outbound salmon based on my in-reply-to posts would be amazing :)

I posted a reply to a Mastodon post and I included #IndieWeb in the text of my post. When I sent the post through Bridgy Fed, it’s plain text as opposed to the native Mastodon posts that have it linked.

See the posts and my reply in this thread:
https://cybre.space/@katastrophe/101661581248390741

Did I need to have a u-category on my hashtag or is this not supported yet on Bridgy Fed?

This is more of a tracking issue. Since I joined the fediverse, my site gets a lot of requests on certain paths. I want to document them here first to begin with, and then maybe eventually see if something needs to be done (e.g. more redirects from in .htaccess to bridgy fed to handle things) . A simple reference on the homepage of bridgy fed would be fine for me as well as an end result :)

https://fediverse.network/info contains some info what it crawls for and which endpoints it looks for.

This list is of requests which didn't have a referer, but feel like fediverse related.

• /api/statuses/public_timeline.json
• /api/meta (POST request)
• /nodeinfo/2.0.json
• /api/v1/instance/peers
• /api/statusnet/config.json
• .well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml

I added the nginx redirect rewrite ^/.well-known/(host-meta|webfinger).* https://fed.brid.gy/$request_uri redirect; to my nginx conf file

However when I try visiting that url https://miklb.com/.well-known/webfinger to see why I wasn't showing up in Mastodon search, I see that it gets an extra trailing slash https://fed.brid.gy//.well-known/webfinger

Suggestions?

https://mediagoblin.org/ . evidently it does ActivityPub? i think spec editor @cwebber is a maintainer, even if he hasn't done much recently...?

...for new mastodon AP activities with embedded objects, and new fed.brid.gy-wrapped ids (#16).

i attempted the first part in 2ffd103. we now need to unwrap target post URLs and use mastodon HTML URLs instead of AS2 URLs as the source.

eg the AS2 reply activity from mastodon below, for https://mastodon.social/users/swentel/statuses/100895743653130715, resulted in a bridgy fed webmention with AS2 source https://mastodon.social/users/swentel/statuses/100895743653130715/activity and wrapped target https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://realize.be/reply/content/1594 . more details on https://webmention.io/realize.be/webmention/kfzxXXvcsK4CZAUczQii . cc @swentel.

Quite some time ago I set up fed.brid.gy on bessbuzz.biz, which produces an Atom feed with a WebSub hub. I have attempted to follow @[email protected] from multiple Mastodon accounts but each time I just see it as a “you requested to follow” but the request never gets granted.

I’ve also tried sending webmentions to posts on mastodon using the instructions on fed.brid.gy but they never show up on the target posts.

As far as I can tell, all of my required atom, websub, and webmention discovery tags are set up correctly, and in particular I’ve been able to interact with other IndieWeb sites for quite some time now.

What steps can I take to figure out what’s going wrong? The troubleshooting steps on the instructions page don’t cover anything beyond a very narrow slice of the experience.

Sometimes you might want to delete a post/reply. This is how a minimal delete activity looks like

stdClass Object
(

    [type] => Delete

    [id] => https://fed.brid.gy/realize.be?unique-id-needed-6

)

I posted to the shared inbox of mastodon.social in this case. Most of my test replies from yesterday are deleted now.

Not sure how to we'd tell bridgy that though since it works with sending webmentions.

This is what I get when running the setup instructions from the readme.

If I instead run pip install -r requirements.freeze.txt I get this when running the tests:

ImportError: No module named django.template.loaders

we're discussing in IRC right now how following an indieweb site in mastodon isn't yet supported or doesn't work well, and we don't have a good story for the reverse, ie indicating to mastodon that you're following a mastodon account.

i think the feature request is for bridgy fed to translate and deliver indieweb follow posts (ie u-x-follow-of) to ActivityPub Follow activities, and vice versa. (TODO: what's the OStatus equivalent?)

two difficulties:

• indieweb follow posts are very experimental right now. only @rhiaro has posted them or advocated for them much, and i don't know of anything that consumes them. (snarfed/bridgy#550 is a feature request.)
• Mastodon's ActivityPub Follow handling is currently buggy and makes Mastodon-specific assumptions, so it doesn't currently work with other ActivityPub implementations: mastodon/mastodon#4933

cc @sknebel @keithjgrant @aaronpk @miklb

Let's say I configure my WebMention publishing script to always send a WebMention to fed.brid.gy regardless of whether an actual link to it appears there. Will it work, or does fed.brid.gy's webmention endpoint require that the entry contain a link to it?

Context: I am writing a simple WebMention conduit for Atom feeds and was hoping to make it possible to configure fed.brid.gy as an always-notify endpoint without requiring users to add a link to their template (or manually to entries with a Fediverse link or whatever).

e.g. fetching a profile on mastodon 1.4.3 with our activitypub conneg headers 500s (!):

$ curl -o /dev/null -v -H 'Accept: application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"; q=0.9, application/activity+json; q=0.8' https://bne.social/@ashkyd/1259433
...
< HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

we should return 502 with details on the fedsocnet's error.

thanks @mblaney!

See comment on https://toot.cafe/@zack/101206779193111042 - I've asked him to jump in here with more details if he has them.

To give more context:

• page I tried to reply to is https://baptiste.gelez.xyz/~/FederationTesting/plume-and-the-indie-web/
• account: https://baptiste.gelez.xyz/@/0x1C3B00DA

I also confused myself this morning thinking that this account is from Pleroma, and maybe it is actually, cf https://edolas.world/@0x1C3B00DA

(note it's temporarily down, but should come back I guess)

Shouldn't https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/blob/master/webfinger.py#L77 use the hub from the next line, if any, not resp.url for the hub parameter?

The Atom Default Feed plugin mentioned in the docs (https://wordpress.org/plugins/atom-default-feed/) has been removed from Wordpress plugins.

This plugin was closed on December 22, 2018 and is no longer available for download. Reason: Author Request.

discovered by @khurtwilliams today: if an incoming webmention doesn't have a u-url, we happily convert it to an AS2 object without id, which mastodon accepts and returns HTTP 202, but never actually displays. i think the lack of id is the root cause.

example log: https://fed.brid.gy/log?start_time=1513114805&key=https%3A%2F%2Fislandinthenet.com%2Ftest-2-2%2F+https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.social%2F%40khurtwilliams%2F99163372007448652

@kickscondor reported that following their site from Mastodon isn't completing. i reproduced from @[email protected]. looking at the bridgy fed logs, we get the AP Follow request, and send this Accept:

{
  "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
  "object": {
    "object": "https://fed.brid.gy/www.kickscondor.com",
    "type": "Follow",
    "actor": "https://mastodon.technology/users/snarfed"
  },
  "type": "Accept",
  "id": "tag:fed.brid.gy:accept/kickscondor.com/https://mastodon.technology/1b4f5bd8-7f3b-4501-89cc-b9b223a09e37",
  "actor": "https://fed.brid.gy/www.kickscondor.com"
}

...to which mastodon returns HTTP 401 with no body. 😢

i suspect the problem is that we're mixing kickscondor.com and www.kickscondor.com.

https://kickscondor.com/ itself redirects to https://www.kickscondor.com/ , which is fine. both domains redirect bridgy fed's paths (webfinger etc) to bridgy fed directly, which should also be fine.

however, note that the actor in the AS2 activity above is www, but the id is the naked domain. we also store and return different public keys via webfinger for www vs naked, below, which is probably the root cause of the 401.

(#29 is somewhat related, but probably not the same thing, since its error actually included the message Public key not found.)

...specifically, converting inbound webmentions to outbound AP requests (Create, Update, etc) currently supports image attachments via mf2 u-photo, but only the src attribute, not srcset.

thanks to @fluffy-critter for the initial nudge in #48. currently blocked on microformats/mf2py#169. background: microformats/microformats2-parsing#7. related: snarfed/bridgy#592.

Now you'll get a json file, which is kind of weird.

It might also help with #16 where, if we append the 'source' url of a post as a get parameter in the url property, it would allow us to redirect a post to the right place on the web.

So

• https://fed.brid.gy/realize.be -> redirect to https://realize.be
• https://fed.brid.gy/realize.be?post=https://realize.be/notes/1582 -> https://realize.be/notes/1582

I have some time this week to see if I could experiment with this.

Another option is that we open a request at mastodon to drop the validation of the property url, but I'm not so sure if they will remove it again.

requested by @mblaney. / is a static file handler, so the full serving path is google's. it currently always gzip-compresses the response and returns the Content-Encoding: gzip header.

oddly, i haven't found a way to ask it not to. the HTTP spec says omitting Accept-Encoding says you're ok with anything, but Accept-Encoding: identity should prevent it...but it doesn't.

also:

Note: In the absence of a Content-Type header provided by your application, a default Content-Type: text/html header will be set, but the automatic gzip compression will not be applied.

• https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/how-requests-are-handled#response_compression
• https://cloud.google.com/appengine/kb/#compression

...but that's obviously not happening. :/

So I can be lazy and just put the link to fed.brid.gy in all reply posts not to silos -- will this just work and do nothing if I'm replying to a non-Salmon non-Activitypub site?

https://gitgud.io/lambadalambda/pleroma . haven't found a website apart from that. doesn't seem to be used very widely. claims to be OStatus compatible.

Known interop problems so far:

• Likes and other interactions with Pleroma posts crash Pleroma
• Bridgy Fed profiles show up in search results with BF's domain, eg @[email protected], not @[email protected]. Example: https://cawfee.club/search?query=snarfed.org , click on the People tab

TODO: file issues on https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/issues for these ^

mastodon's AP code returns HTTP 202 to inbox POSTs that fail signature verification:

• https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/33ea042decc03c494c78a896934455ef79abc16b/app/controllers/activitypub/inboxes_controller.rb#L12
• https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/33ea042decc03c494c78a896934455ef79abc16b/app/controllers/concerns/signature_verification.rb#L16-L68

TODO:

• interpret this as a failure instead of success, and return non-2xx ourselves
• figure out why production instances like https://mastodon.technology/ and https://mastodon.social/ are currently failing to verify our signatures

seems to be fully ostatus compatible, i just haven't gotten an end to end test all the way through in testing. next step for me is to add a PuSH hub to snarfed.org's atom, which is where it currently stops:

2017-09-11 14:09:12 LOG_DEBUG: [localhost:49561.bf2ad337 POST /main/salmon/user/1] Salmon envelope parsing failed with: FeedSubNoHubException
2017-09-11 14:09:12 LOG_DEBUG: [localhost:49561.bf2ad337 POST /main/salmon/user/1] action.php - User error '400' on 'usersalmon': FeedSubNoHubException
2017-09-11 14:09:12 LOG_ERR: [localhost:49561.bf2ad337 POST /main/salmon/user/1] Handled clientError (400) but cannot output into desired format (NULL): 'FeedSubNoHubException'

So replies work now, awesome!

A post is more or less the same as a reply with these differences:

• it does not contain the 'inReplyTo' property
• to should contain public, and the followers url , e.g. something like accounts/363584/followers (although I'm not 100% of the last part here)
• (instance) url: this is the tricky part, but I presume it's safe to target mastodon.social by default and use the shared inbox.

another tricky part: fed bridgy doesn't really care to which federated service you want to post on. It could be diaspora or something else in the future too, so either

• the post markup needs a url in its markup so you know which service to post to
• or the webmention should be send to something more dedicated. Right now, we just need to add 'https://fed.brid.gy/' to the posts. Maybe https://fed.brid.gy/{service_name} is an alternative ?

I will do some tests and see what the minimum object should be.

... as illustrated by the mild confusion with syndication here: https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-10-16/1508204197556000

Hi @snarfed Congratulations for the work!!!
I´m trying to make IndieWeb work on my website comunicacionabierta.net since I just discovered. I think this is too good to be true... the problem is that I can´t make it work!!!
My server is a cloud one on Siteground - CentOS - and I don´t know exactly what´s my problem.
Mathias Pfefferle told me something about the webfinger but my knowledge is very limited.
Could you know what steps should I follow?
Thanks!

When an item gets posted from a feed to Mastodon, it gets a rather long-winded CW that is a mishmash of the first few paragraphs' worth of text; as seen on dragon.style:

But the <title> element is nowhere to be found! It seems like using <title> for the CW text would be better.

The actual behavior of what's displayed below the CW also seems rather inconsistent and weird.

https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
https://docs.joinpeertube.org/lang/en/devdocs/federation.html

apparently it can communicate with mastodon, so sounds hopeful :)

it's supposedly mostly (but not completely?) ostatus compatible:

• diaspora/diaspora#7412
• diaspora/diaspora#7422
• diaspora/diaspora#4642

What should I use if I want fed.brid.gy to deliver slaps to me as webmention?

Trying to use bridgy-fed I get the following error returned:

400 Bad Request
The server could not comply with the request since it is either malformed or otherwise incorrect.

Couldn't find a <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/representative-hcard-parsing">representative h-card</a> on https://triptico.com/

Where the greater-than, less-than and quote symbols are incorrectly escaped, so I see them verbatim instead of a clickable link.

afaict most of the fedsocnets don't have permalinks or other markup for individual likes or boosts. mastodon definitely doesn't. if we want to backfeed those as webmentions, we either need to get the fedsocnets to add permalinks and mf2 for them, or store the AP posts and Salmon slaps and render them ourselves, like bridgy. ugh.

I wanted to file this request, because I remembered something from last week: I didn't configure to render a backlink yet on my source pages to https://fed.brid.gy/ for 'notes' (they are now, so it's fine). However, the post did show up when using fed.brid.gy. Skimming the code, I don't see a check for a backlink anywhere, unless I missed it completely.

If it's there, don't mind me of course, but I guess it can't hurt for a double check :)

it does AP, so it might already work! first thing to do is try testing it.

https://pixelfed.org , https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed , cc @swentel @dansup.

alternatively we could just lobby for microformats and webmentions. 😄

(Originally published at: https://crw.moe/b/X6)

My site uses relative links wherever possible, when rendering HTML. As a result, the HTML for this entry gets e-content data with relative href/src/srcset like

                <div id="preamble" class="body">
                    <p><div class="images"><img alt="" title="It has been a long day, and this morning's shower has lost its effect on Hira's appearance." src="/static/_img/54/eb7b/unity-209_1328681e22_960x512.jpg" width="960" height="512" srcset="/static/_img/54/eb7b/unity-209_1328681e22_960x512.jpg 1x, /static/_img/54/eb7b/unity-209_1328681e22_1920x1024.jpg 2x"></div> </p>
                </div>

Unfortunately this is being sent directly via ActivityPub, e.g. this request with mf2 like:

    "content": [
      {
        "html": "<div class=\"body\" id=\"preamble\">\n                    <p></p><div class=\"images\"><img alt=\"\" height=\"512\" src=\"/_async/_img/54/eb7b/unity-209_1328681e22_960x512.jpg\" srcset=\"/_async/_img/54/eb7b/unity-209_1328681e22_960x512.jpg 1x, /_async/_img/54/eb7b/unity-209_1328681e22_1920x1024.jpg 2x\" title=\"It has been a long day, and this morning's shower has lost its effect on Hira's appearance.\" width=\"960\"/></div> <p></p>\n                </div>", 
        "value": ""
      }
    ], 

When this appears on Mastodon, image-only posts look like this:

I'm not finding any definitive answer about this on mf2 but my probably-bad assumption is that it would be up to the consumer (in this case, bridgy fed) to rewrite relative links, including <img src> and <img srcset>.

should have thought of this earlier. right now, the first thing many users are doing is trying to discover themselves in mastodon and hubzilla, not send a response. so far, not much luck. we should figure that out.

mastodon background in mastodon/mastodon#1441 (comment) , which claims that atom feed with PuSH hub and webfinger with atom, profile, salmon, and magic key links should be enough...but that's evidently not true, since @miklb @mblaney @aaronpk all have those, and they still can't discover their sites from inside mastodon.

(i do show up inside mastodon, as @[email protected], which is misleading. that's probably only because i've federated replies etc into it.)

[note, last issue I open, all other things are fine ;)]

I mentioned this in #16 (comment) already. When you reply to a post on mastodon, this post can optionally show up in your notifications column (it's a setting). You need to add a mention tag in the object property, e.g.

[tag] => Array
                (
                    [0] => stdClass Object
                        (
                            [type] => Mention
                            [href] => https://mastodon.social/users/swentel
                            [name] => @swentel
                        )

                )

I guess we can just automatically add the user you're replying to as a mention tag as a first step.
I think I should be able to get that coded, so give a few days first :)

(edit - removed the code example, since that's for salmon, ignore that part)

Hi, I've had a look at https://fed.brid.gy/ and https://brid.gy/, and to me it's unclear what's the difference between Bridgy-Fed and Bridgy?

When would I use one of them but not the other? Why did the Bridgy-Fed people proceed with creating Bridgy-Fed although Bridgy already exists?

Why are they hosted on the same 2nd level domain? Feels as if the same person is competing with him/herself about making both projects popular. Hmm and you (@snarfed ) own both projects here in GitHub too :- ) such a mystery (to me).

Not really an issue, but I just saw this in #wordpress chat, and wasn't sure if you knew about it: https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-ostatus

Curious how bridgy-fed may dovetail with it? I'm hoping to try to get time to test them both this weekend...

right now, we interpret every incoming webmention as a new Create/post. this is obviously problematic. we should instead store posts we've federated so that we know when to send Update etc instead.

their current released ostatus support is incomplete. @annando is rewriting it in the new-ostatus branch in his fork: https://github.com/annando/friendica/tree/new-ostatus

more discussion in friendica/friendica#3696.

haven't looked into it much yet. evidently a GNU Social fork? not sure how widely used it is. the main https://postactiv.com/ site is currently down. https://www.patreon.com/postActiv has some info, including claims that it supports both OStatus and ActivityPub.

I received a reply: https://writing.exchange/@matt/101066523112656548 this came through as a reply webmention. The author h-card has an empty photo and the name is equal to the url rather than being the username.

I know the ActivityPub to webmention isn't using the mf2 from mastodon, but looking at the mf2 on the reply page, it does contain an accurate author h-card: http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwriting.exchange%2F%40matt%2F101066523112656548
