@Matthias Bürcher I tried adding the magic words to my profile, and as far as I can check two of them are there (searchable and tootfinder), but https://www.tootfinder.ch/ says that I don't have the magic word in my profile. I checked some profiles of others but I can't find what I'm doing wrong.

Do you have any advice, if you have time? Thanks!

The fallback to HTML does not work, because Friendica seems to use other URLs than Mastodon. This URL goes nowhere https://friendica.gidikroon.eu/users/gidi

@Matthias Bürcher Ah, that explains it. I thought the webfinger lookup would be used. The feed urls in Friendica are also different from Mastodon, even if the profile lookup would succeed. I had also tried my Pleroma account which gave the same message. Anyway, thanks for looking into it!

(Fyi, the Friendica profile url may be like https://friendica.gidikroon.eu/profile/gidi/profile or without the final /profile and the Pleroma one https://pleroma.gidikroon.eu/users/Gidi. My feed app discovers the Friendica feed url as https://friendica.gidikroon.eu/dfrn_poll/gidi (or https://friendica.gidikroon.eu/feed/gidi/) and for Pleroma https://pleroma.gidikroon.eu/users/gidi/feed.atom.)

When did you try with Pleroma? I had another user this morning and could solve his problem.

ok i see the problem. The bio is too long for Pleroma. Acess on the API returns "Interrnal Server error". Access on HTML returns only an abbreviated version of the bio which stops at "nothing wrong with..." because Pleroma limits the bio in the header to about 200 char. The rest will be displayed only with Javasrript in the app, so tootfinder cannot see it.

@Matthias Bürcher ok, thank you for checking. I will experiment with different ways around it later, but your explanation is clear.
