Automattic
Federation issue with Hometown
Quick summary
there is a discussion here https://niagara.social/@kostyn/113286764577822977 already but to summarize what I discovered:
this post is not showing up when searched for from either merveilles.town or niagara.social which are both running Hometown (a fork of Mastodon by @dariusk) so it seems maybe the issue is with compatibility of Hometown and WordPress AP. Seems Hometown still has a lot of users tho so still seems important to solve from one side or the other
Steps to reproduce
Search this post on a Hometown instance
What you expected to happen
the post shows up
What actually happened
the post is not found
Impact
All
Available workarounds?
No and the platform is unusable
Logs or notes
No response
Could be fixed by https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/pull/931 but I will have another look!
Okay, looking into this! Basically going to log my process here as I go.
On a clean Hometown install when I put https://kostyn.ca/fuck-sustainable-development-goals-have-yall-ever-heard-of-communism-reviewing-kohei-saitos-slow-down-the-degrowth-manifesto/ into the search bar of the web client and search, I get a "500" error reported on the client side, and I get this in the logs:

Sooo the problem is in my process_inline_images function. I'm opening an issue on Hometown shortly that will link back to here for reference.
