I'm beginning to understand why there are so few blogging platforms that work with #activitypub. I thought I'd make my own as a weekend project and while it shows up fine in https://browser.pub/, getting #mastodon to correctly display posts and followers is driving me absolutely crazy.

Why does Mastodon need its own weird special stuff? Why can't it just load the followers and outbox collections like the standard expects? WHY?
