Open skwerlman opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Description

When connecting to my akkoma instance, i get this message:

Failed to connect to fedi.tetrarch.co, make sure the server URL is valid or correct.

I can connect with my browser, and get data from the api with curl.

How To Reproduce

  1. Open whalebird
  2. Enter fedi.tetrarch.co as the domain name (i have no accounts set up at all atm)
  3. Click search

Your Environment

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Whalebird Version:
    • 5.0.5 (using whalebird-bin from the AUR)
    • 5.0.7 (using whalebird from the AUR)
    • cda8225b (using whalebird-desktop-git from AUR)
  • Instance: fedi.tetrarch.co

Because Akkoma is not supported. Whalebird support only Mastodon, Pleroma, and Misskey.

Ah, I understand. I figured itd fall under pleroma support since its forked from that, but i guess they have diverged enough by now to cause problems. Roughly what work would need to be done to add akkoma support?

Does Akkoma provide the same API interface as Pleroma? If so, it is easy, just change it to treat it as Pleroma.

akkoma is compatible with pleroma, they have some small differences but none of the mastodon or pleroma apps that i've used have shown any issues.
