  • I agree that from a completeness point of view, the official manual is better (I’ve linked it at the bottom of my post as well), however I’d love to hear your specific thoughts about why you feel this particular article is not good- I’ve tried to include fully interactive examples for the most common tasks I find myself doing with jq everyday. This feedback will help me improve my own skills as well, so I would appreciate it very much.


















  • You are right that it does feel a little roundabout. My understanding is that webfinger converts from the username to the user profile url and image. This is useful during federation, and for generic fedi/activitypub clients because different Fedi software maps usernames and profiles differently.

    For example, user@lemmy.instance will reside at lemmy.instance/u/user, while user @mastodon.instance will reside at mastodon.instance/user.

    Fom some poking around, it seems that Lemmy does not properly support sending the profile image on Webfinger because I wasn’t able to do it using the rel parameters that are mentioned in the spec.
