it would be good to have a simple tool to view activitypub content. like user profiles, posts, etc.

this is because there are sometimes federation issues (posts show up on one instance, but not on the other). it would be good to have a better understanding of what is happening there, maybe by having a simple tool to see what is actually being transmitted over the AP protocol. like, if i open my own user profile from mastodon, it only shows me about half the posts that i actually make. why is that? it would be good to see whether the data is actually correctly sent from the lemmy server, or if it’s just wrongly interpreted on the mastodon side of things.

maybe something like activitypub-read "https://feddit.org/u/gandalf_der_12te" and it shows you something like that:

    That is normal, its usually because no one on that instance follows your user profile specifically. Part of your posts are federated because someone is following a subset of the communities where you are posting.
