OK Fedifriends, I need your help with some complex ActivityPub stuff.

Mastodon won't show a list of followers for @colours

It has an orderedcollection at https://colours.bots.edent.tel/followers which paginates properly.

The mimetype and JSON are all correct, I think.

You can check out the source code at https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

What magical incantation do I need to do to help Mastodon see the details of the account's followers?

Feel free to reply here or on the repo.

@dt I'm on mastodon .social and I can see a list of your followers.

@Edent @colours Doesn't this describe what you need to do? → https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#follower-synchronization-mechanism (I haven't tried this yet, just bookmarked it for further research/tries).

@derickr aha! That might be what I'm missing. Ta!

@julian @dt

I am.

But I'm not seeing any of the MS followers on @colours

@Edent I just released, by looking at my other bookmarked post on this topic (which you wrote on socialhub!), that you already knew about it.

I hadn't made the link earlier. Sorry.

@dt I'm on mastodon .social and I can see a list of your followers.
