Looks great! Is the best way to submit bugs by DM or email?
I noticed the following issues when trying to sign in and add an instance with my accounts on Lemmy and Piefed instances (lemmy.ca/u/otter and piefed.ca/u/otter specifically):
Logging in
Signing in with the profile-description (bio) code works on both Lemmy and PieFed, but logging in with a DM does not work for either.
On Lemmy, I get the error message
We could not deliver a message to that account. Check the handle, or use another way to sign in.
Meanwhile on Piefed, FediDB says that it sent the code, but it fails silently since I never receive a message on the account. I looked into adding fedidb.com as a trusted instance from the admin side, but I don’t think that’s the issue since there are no entries for fedidb.com there at all.
I know it should be possible to receive DMs from non-threadiverse instances since Canvas used that for auth. If it helps, here is the source code for that project:
I think they do it by sending the DM as both a Mastodon style note and as a Lemmy style chat message (link to code)
// around line 144 const outbox = [ await message.build(fedify.Note), await message.build(fedify.ChatMessage), ].map((obj) => apub.prepareObject(obj, ts));
Admin verification
This one fails for both.
On Lemmy I suspect it is looking at the wrong endpoint since I get this:
Could not reach the server to confirm your admin status.
Meanwhile on Piefed, I see the following message despite using an admin account that shows up in /api/alpha/site
Your account is not an admin or the contact account of this server.
I haven’t tried the other methods yet :)
