's rebrand as Clever Libre is finally back up?

@nibble4bits possibly.

When I log in it looks like a lot of my user settings from qoto came over, but the home page doesn't show any posts from the lists.

Hopefully this is in the process of regenerating.

@volkris Agreed. I'm missing bits & pieces and the site still calls itself QOTO in a bunch of places.

@nibble4bits Oh hey, your reply landed in my notifications on the site! Some things seem to be working!

Glancing around I don't see any status announcements anywhere I can think to look.

Maybe pinging @freemo here could help?

@volkris
Yeah, I can only see a few choice people. The federated part of this place seems quite broken. I'm attempting to unfollow and re follow accounts, thinking mastodon doesn't know to share from those accounts because the forwarding doesn't quite work in that manner?

@freemo how are you doing, man? It must be a headache trying to do this move.

@volkris @freemo Unfollowing & refollowing people seems to be working. I'm getting more feeds coming in with the people I tried.

@nibble4bits

Oh, good idea.

Yeah, ActivityPub relies on instances kind of subscribing to each other, so I imagine remote instances don't know to send content to cleverlibre.org instead of qoto, but resubscribing to feeds would update that subscription.

@volkris This also means that anyone whom used to follow me no longer really is - and that CleverLibre's indicators that someone is also following me can be incredibly inaccurate. @freemo

@nibble4bits

I can try to find a way to auto-fix this maybe. Perhaps internally resend follow requests.

@volkris

@freemo, cool. These may be two separate but related issues:

1) The people we follow aren't sending their posts to us.
Maybe a manual auto-fix by re-sending whatever ActivityPub calls subscription requests.

2) The people who follow us don't know the domain moved.
Maybe this is handled by the alias and move functionality within Mastodon? It wasn't triggered upon the domain change?

I'm sure this isn't new to you since you've administered this, but maybe a reminder if it's been a while since you really poured into the ActivityPub backend stuff.

Or just a little insight for any other watchers interested in the tech behind Fediverse.

@nibble4bits

I found out about the new domain while looking at my Snac AP server logs.

They've been giving me things like:

Oct 15 15:15:14 EAB-server snac[102253]: 15:15:14 output message: requeue https://qoto.org/inbox #10
Oct 15 15:27:09 EAB-server snac[102253]: 15:27:09 output message: sent to inbox https://qoto.org/inbox (308 Permanent Redirect)
Oct 15 15:27:09 EAB-server snac[102253]: 15:27:09 output message: giving up https://qoto.org/inbox (308 Permanent Redirect)

@freemo@social.cleverlibre.org So I went to qoto.org, saw it redirected, and searched through all the qoto.org users I follow and re-followed them on the new domain, manually.
