Edent, 3 months ago Given a random #ActivityPub domain name, is there any reliable way to find the shared inbox? That is, how do I go from example.social to example.social/inboxes/shared ? If I had a user, I could use #WebFinger to get their details and find an inbox. But if I have no user…?

manlycoffee, 3 months ago @Edent On Mastodon, it's https:// domain.name/.well-known/webfinger?resource=https%3A%2F%2Fdomain.name For example: https://mastodon.social/.well-known/webfinger?resource=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.social Then, from the resulting JRD response, look at the link of type application/activity+json, you should have the application actor's URL in the href. Do a application/activity+json lookup, and the shared inbox should be at as:endpoints

Edent, 3 months ago @manlycoffee that's really useful, ta! I was hoping to be able to do it in a single call - but it is good to know there's an alternative like that.

robb, 3 months ago @Edent I don't think you can, it's not exposed that I know of (I checked ./well-known/nodeinfo). For what reason would you want that if you don't have a user?

Edent, 3 months ago @robb it is (mostly) me being lazy. If I'm sending a "Like" to example.social/users/posts/user/123456, I'd have to first request the status, then request the user. I was wondering if I could do it in a single call.
