  • Authentication & Verification: Provides detailed guidance on signing and verifying HTTP requests using RSA keys.
  • Interoperability Guidance: Documents common quirks, bugs, and best practices across various Fediverse implementations (Mastodon, GoToSocial, etc.).
  • Use Case: Debugging why your Fediverse server cannot federate with another instance by analyzing signature verification failures, clock skew issues, or incorrect header formatting.
