@bonfire congratulations!!!!! 🥳

I noticed your request for help testing federation with other platforms. I would love to help out.

In addition to a Mastodon account, I’m self-hosting GoToSocial, Friendica, PeerTube and Pixelfed. And I could even check interoperability with federated Wordpress blogs 🤗

Keep up the inspiring work! 🔥

@elena Thank you! Yeah if you're up for testing common flows (like follow/mention/reply/DM/post with CW...) and report back that'd of course be awesome (we did some testing of course, but there can always be exceptions), but since you're hosting them all yourself it'd be even more valuable if you're able check if things like flagging/blocks/edits/deletions work well and to get logs (or AP processing reports if they have that) otherwise. Thanks so much for offering!
