Hubzilla 8.2 : Cannot add Mastodon Account in Connections
Steps to reproduce: Fresh install of Hubzilla 8.2 (not upgrade or anything else) by git clone and addon repository by util/add_addon_repo etc, and php 8.2 and the site is working okay apparently.
Site settings
- My site has free access only
- Site homepage to show visitors : pubstream
- Default permission role for new accounts : Public
- Does this site allow new member registration? : Yes
- Enable public stream : Yes
- Site only public stream : Yes
- Allow anybody on the internet to access the public streams : Yes
Addons are installed fine at /admin/addons/.
The default app collections (that comes with core) shows to any site user: Installed Apps :- Calendar, Channel, Connections, Contact Roles, Directory, Files, Help, HQ, Photos, Post, Search, Stream
Now going to /connections and trying to add abcd@mastodon.social This is not added, instead we get this message : "Remote channel or protocol unavailable."
On the other hand, I tried, as an user, live sites who have upgraded to Hubzilla Version 8.2 and am able to add Mastodon user there via Connections. I do find in those sites "Activitypub Protocol" under Available Apps but I DO NOT find "Activitypub Protocol" under Available Apps in my installation as described above. From where or how these other live sites are showing this ""Activitypub Protocol" app under Available apps?
What am I missing? What should be done so that Mastodon/Diaspora/Friendica accounts can be added in /connections ?
PS : from /admin/addons/ I installed Diaspora Protocol - 1.0 and after this Diaspora account can be added. However, having no luck with Mastodon.
