If you’re on a piefed instance, or are administrating one, make sure your instance is able to receive Fediverse Auth messages

Piefed defaulty rejects DMs from new actors, but this can be fixed in the admin interface by marking auth.fediverse.events as a trusted instance

Edit: trusted actor -> trusted instance

You can also test if your instance works by clicking on the emojis on the Canvas page ✨

To piefed.zip users: I checked, it should be working

I can confirm I successfully received the Auth message (twice?!) on piefed.social

Don’t worry about the double dm 😅

Fediverse Auth currently sends two different activities (Note & ChatMessage) for backwards compatibility (they contain the same content)

Weird, I got nothing for piefed.social. Am I too late to the party?

Where do I mark @auth@auth.fediverse.events as a trusted actor? I've marked the instance auth.fediverse.events as trusted, but there's no DM coming through.

That should be all you need, I've reset the send cooldown for your instance so you should be able to give it a shot now

[–] squirrel@cake.kobel.fyi 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I see it failing in the activity log now. It tried sending a chatmessage and a note with the error message: Precheck failed: No digest header present

I can provide the raw json if needed.

Can you send it to hello@sc07.com?

[–] squirrel@cake.kobel.fyi 2 points 3 weeks ago

I've sent you a Matrix DM, hope that's okay too.

I've updated YunoHost from 13.0.4 to 13.0.5 (PieFed was already on the latest version) and now it worked. I received two messages from the bot.

Good to hear 🙌

Where would one find this option? I can't seem to see it

Edit: never mind, I got the code so I guess we're good.
