How well supported is following other accounts?

[peterjeschke]

I wanted to use Hollo not just as my own platform to shout into the world, but also follow other accounts from Mastodon. However, when I access my account via Phanpy or Moshidon, the timeline doesn't really work - I can see some random posts from people I follow, but it never updates with new posts. Is this simply not supported yet or is something broken on my end?

Also from the other side: I tried accessing my profile from a test-profile on mastodon.social, but I can't see public posts I have written. My account is @peter@jeschke.dev (You'll notice that my homepage is modified, but my changes do not touch any API endpoints)

Did you configure BEHIND_PRIXY=true?

[peterjeschke]

Yes, it's set. Hollo runs behind Caddy with a pretty simple Caddyfile:

jeschke.dev {
        header / {
                X-Content-Type-Options nosniff
                X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
                -Server
        }
        request_body {
                max_size 100mb
        }
        reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}

www.jeschke.dev {
        redir https://jeschke.dev{uri} permanent
}

That's really strange—your actor resource behaves like BEHIND_PROXY unset. 🤔

[peterjeschke]

Okay, I was stupid - I set it to yes instead of true :(

I changed it, but it doesn't look like anything has changed. How do you test this behavior?

[dahlia]

Could you delete your account and create another again? It's okay if new one has the same username as old one's.

Thank you, it looks like it solved the issue :)
