[dave] I've just enabled that but don't see anything from my latest test. I can give a brief overview of my issues so far.
# [dave] I'm using WP multisite on a shared host and want to use the ActivityPub extension. First I realized I needed to individually enable it instead of network enable and that fixed my first issue where webfinger wasn't working.
# [dave] Then I found that attempts to access the webfinger file failed due to my host using mod_security to disallow requests for that mime type, which I had them whitelist.
# [dave] So now I can use Mastodon and find my user, e.g. @tacodave@allthetacos.com, but if I follow, the follow request is not approved automatically and remains pending.
# [dave] Also my mastodon user doesn't appear in the list of fediverse followers in wordpress admin
# [dave] It sounded like someone on the wordpress forums had a similar issue with it but gave up because of lack of response, but I figured I'd bump and ask about it anyway since I'm having the same issue and have several blogs i'd like to have this way to avoid POSSE-ing to my mastodon instance

# [dave] [pfefferle] yes. I believe my host's support did the whitelisting portion for that mimetype at the bottom but I don't believe I have access to the mod security logs to see if anything else is happening. All I know is I no longer see 409 responses in the access logs
