I'm looking at this from wizard.casa and I'm getting inconclusive results.

When I'm trying to mention the birb at my test instance, wizard.casa doesn't recognize it as a mention, and doesn't attempt to talk to my instance.
When I'm trying to mention the regular birb@rss-parrot.net, the message goes through, and wizard.casa receives the birb's reply all right.
I can also follow parrot accounts from wizard.casa
Still waiting to see if toots go through from the parrot to wizard.casa.

Can you provide repro steps for what is not working for you?

Toots about new posts do not go over to Mitra. At the time to toot goes out, the birb sees an empty string instance inbox.

Tracing it further back: In the profile info retrieved from Mitra (e.g.: https://wizard.casa/users/parrots_friend), there is no "endpoints" section with a "sharedInbox" value. Mastodon has that, and so far the birb uses this address when sending out toots about new feed posts.

I briefly considered opening an issue with a question about the absence of the shared inbox here: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/issues

But a glance through the issues tells me the project is abandoned (e.g., the second issue from the top is a spam about web monetization, and has been sitting there for 3 weeks).

I'm closing this as "won't fix", but I'll keep in mind the scenario without a shared inbox when tracking down interop issues with other Fediverse platforms. If it comes up again, I'll implement a fallback to deliver toots on a per-user basis.
