Environment
This PR from yesterday should fix that issue
codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App@de7070c4acOk, let's wait for the next beta to confirm the fix
I confirm there is a big problem! Followers correctly shown in holos app don't receive any public post. The post are available globally (here you can see mine https://holos.social/@vgammieri), but the followers are not notified about the new public messages.
I tried with different accounts and none of them receive the new public posts notification
Additional information: if in the external mastodon account I open the vgammieri Holos profile, the missing posts are not shown !!! It's like the new posts where not accepted by the external server or are filtered out for some reason
Can you modify your profile from the app (for example by slightly changing the bio) and validate. Wait a bit for it to propagate to followers. Then write a message and verify that it arrives in the followers' Home timeline.
I modified the profile but it takes forever to update on other servers! If I open the Holos profile from the other mastodon server I still see the old version of the profile. Let's wait for tomorrow to see if the update occurred
Can you unfollow/follow the Holos account again and resend a message. Check that the account is added to the followers list with the latest beta.
I did what you said, this is the post link after unfollow+follow
https://holos.social/users/vgammieri/statuses/1769110804318-m5lpfc
The post doesn't appear on other home timeline 😭
Beta 16
Did you check if they're in your followers list? What is the instance? I suspect the follow fails because the instance has your previous public key and doesn't update it with the new one.
The two accounts follows each other. The other mastodon instance is mastodon.uno
I tried also with varese.social and also there the holos public posts are not shown
I am sorry, but that doesn't fully answer the question. To be sure that Holos sees the remote account as a follower, you must see it in your followers list. Otherwise, when posting a message, the app will never push it to the shared inbox of the remote instance.
I attached the screenshot of following and followers in Holos and the followed account from mastodon.uno
Everything seems correct, at least visually
The other test account is @vgammieri@mastodon.uno
Thank you, the bug is clearly located when pushing the activity to the shared inbox. We will investigate this step thoroughly.
Beta 17, problem still present: followers don't receive public messages
Also in beta-17-fix-1
Is more or less two days that I'm not using Holos, today I just repost from Holos account and the follower account received the post! Then I tried with a public post and also that one reached the home timeline of the follower!!! A really didn't do anything from my side. No idea of what's changed. Still beta 17
When you reinstalled the app, new cryptographic keys were generated. Remote instances had cached your old public key, causing signature verification failures. The cache has now expired and your new public key is being accepted.
Is it possible make an automatic special backup just for the cryptographic keys and ask to important on fresh installation?
Next update will bring automatic encrypted backup of critical data (keypair, followers, following). The relay only stores opaque blobs it cannot decrypt.
