    I have attempted to get my site thecozy.cat set up with the Fediverse and I am having a bit of trouble. I have this plugin, the Activitypub plugin, and the Friends plugin on my site, everything is configured and seems to be working properly. When I look myself up on Mastodon I can see my website’s profile shows up and I am able to follow it from one of my other accounts. However, when try to connect to my site using the Fedilab app so I can make use of this plugin, I get an “unable to find client ID” error. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Or would this be a plugin issue?

    Hi, sorry about your trouble!

    Fedilab should work but could you get me the exact error message?

    One other thing you can check is on the Settings > Mastodon Apps page whether Fedilab is listed under apps.

    Hey Alex, thanks for your quick reply! I did a little tinkering and figured out the issue came from my WordPress security plugin that blocked the Rest API, so I have corrected that and was able to get in. I am connected to the Fedilab app now, but am running into a new issue. I can not see any federated posts on the global timeline, and no one is able to see my posts either. I tried tagging one of my other accounts in a post and I can’t see the post at all from my other account, no notification appears of any mentions. I also can’t seem to look up any users other than myself. I tried looking up my other fedi accounts and had no luck. I also tried to look up my wordpress account via my other accounts and can’t find it either. ?? So it seems like while I am connected to the Fedilab app, I’m not actually connected. Any ideas what could cause this?

    EDIT: Via the Friends plugin, I discovered I am able to follow my other mastodon account successfully, and from my other account I do get notified of the follow. But through the Fedilab app I can’t find or follow anyone. I can on my other accounts via Fedilab, but not my WordPress account.

    After I followed my other account through the Friends plugin, I can now see that account’s feed on the Fedilab, but can not reply to any of the posts. I tried favoriting and replying to one of the posts through my WordPress account, and it registered the favorite but not the reply.

    Nevermind, now it isn’t registering favorites either. It seems any interactions between myself and others don’t go through at all. No notifications of it either.
