@vincent Does bird.makeup support authorized fetch / secure mode? If not, are there any plans to support it?
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#authorized_fetch
The reason I’m asking: I’m trying to follow some bird.makeup accounts from a Calckey instance. I can view their profiles just fine (the instance is not blocked) but trying to follow an account results in a “pending” state forever.
I was told that this is because, unlike Mastodon, Calckey requires authorized fetch in order to follow an account - the same issue as this: https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey/issues/10002
@vincent Also, it would be cool if there was a “instance checker” on the bird.makeup website where you type in the domain of an instance and it tells you if it blocks bird.makeup or not.
(I don’t know if that’s actually possible or not, but it would come in handy for people who want to move to a BM-friendly instance)
@smallsco an instance checker is a good idea! Won’t be 100% accurate for blocks though, since I don’t see if the instance is blocked, only that it has 0 followers from there.
Detecting if it’s not blocked will work great though
