    A bit rough. Sometimes it makes people only see raw XML. Other times not.

    Strange.

    Thank you for the feedback! Could you elaborate on this or maybe even file a bug at https://github.com/akirk/enable-mastodon-apps/issues so that it can be fixed? Who are the people who see raw XML and where do they see that?

    Just keep in mind this plugin has to do a lot of mimicking of Mastodon internals and conforming to expectations of apps that expect to talk to the “real” Mastodon. While there is a documentation about their API, many apps make some assumptions that are true for the Mastodon implementation but are defined more loosely in the spec.

    This makes it unfornately prone to what can be experienced as “buggy” behavior when it’s trying to achieve something that Mastodon didn’t plan for when they implemented their API.

    That’s probably what it is. Because I never can replicate it. No matter what browser or type of computer I test it on.

    It seems that when people go to the link from a program like Slack they have an issue or from another instance.

    But like I said. I can’t replicate and neither can the hosting support at Rocket.

    It’s a weird one.

    Do you mean a link that you send through a Mastodon app and what the people clicking the link (to your own WordPress) see? Is this via ActivityPub? Because then the problem would rather be in the ActivityPub plugin, see this issue on the ActivityPub Github repo: WordPress sometimes returns JSON to a Webbrowser instead of the HTML page. #580
