I use the Arabica theme plugin for this blog that automatically puts the “Follow @frankm on micro blog” in the header after the title of the site. Given the increase usage of Mastodon, I wonder whether it would be better to replace that with the Mastodon account format, or be able to ad... frankmcpherson.blog

@maique I am testing by manually entering that URL in a browser and the response is not found. I am pretty sure that micro.blog is not a Mastodon instance, @frankm is just an ActivityPub address. You can subscribe to it from an actual Mastodon server and reply to it, but that I think is the extent.

@frankm Oh, ok. Sorry about that. I was thinking it was your own instance. In that case try this instead, it should take you to the page at Micro.blog where people can subscribe to your ActivityPub link…
