Explain the process for discovering a Webfinger ID from an ActivityPub ID:

pfefferle commented 5 months ago

I also used WebFinger for that. Example:

  1. Get WebFinger profile by ActivityPub ID: https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=https%3A%2F%2Fnotiz.blog%2Fauthor%2Fmatthias-pfefferle%2F
  2. Search for an ID with the acct: protocol in the aliases array
  3. done

But I also like your proposed FEP https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/2c59/fep-2c59.md
