I'm implementing (slowly) a personal Mastodon/ActivityPub server. Would someone who has done that before please tell me what is wrong with:

https://jeremy.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:placeholder@jeremy.org
and
https://jeremy.org/@placeholder

...that lookups from other sites don't seem to produce the expected results?

@jjb not 100% sure if that's the problem, but the subject of the webfinger response is incorrect, you should not have the full resource value in there, just the "preferredUsername@domain.tld"

Also I'm not sure if Mastodon requires the publicKey property to exist for your actor.

@mariusor @jjb You sure? Mastodon has the acct: prefix in there. https://metalhead.club/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:mariusor@metalhead.club

Furthermore, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7033#section-4.4.1 says the subject should be a URI, so it seems to me that having the scheme in there is correct.

@julian thanx. I was unsure, but I didn't think to double check before. :D
