Your setup

From source

Extra details

Arch Linux

Version

ef279ac53f

PostgreSQL version

14.6

What were you trying to do?

Get the domain name from the instance information.

> curl -s https://social.rjp.is/api/v1/instance | jq '.uri'
"https://social.rjp.is"

What did you expect to happen?

The domain name to be returned in the uri key.

> curl -s https://octodon.social/api/v1/instance | jq '.uri'
"octodon.social"

What actually happened?

Akkoma returns the endpoint URL in the uri key instead of the domain name as defined in the spec -
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/V1_Instance/#uri

> curl -s https://social.rjp.is/api/v1/instance | jq '.uri'
"https://social.rjp.is"

toot is mildly confused by this because it uses this key to store instance information in its configuration file and then cannot find it because @x@y.z obviously won't match https://y.z.

this would be a bug in the client

https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/110429305552168098

apparently this is an old endpoint that masto doesn't even use anymore

Sure but since Akkoma doesn't (as best I can tell from the source at 9e9cf58fdf) support the /api/v2/instance call, what is a client supposed to do here? Just throw their hands up and refuse to talk to Akkoma instances because the deprecated call isn't spec-compliant but the replacement isn't implemented?

it's supposed to do the sensible thing and treat URIs as URIs
