Author byline links to old instance after migrating Mastodon account

Help
1

I migrated my Mastodon account from @amoroso@fosstodon.org to @amoroso@oldbytes.social However, when sharing posts of my blog on Mastodon the author byline still links to the old account.

On Write.as I entered my new handle @amoroso@oldbytes.social under Customize > Verification. On Mastodon I entered the hostname journal.paoloamoroso.com under Preferences > Public profile > Verification > Author attribution > Websites allowed to credit you. Yet the byline still links to the old account. What’s strange is in the HTML code of my blog I can’t find <meta name="fediverse:creator" ...> or other references to the old account.

Any suggestions?

Never mind, now the feature is working fine. It likely just needed some time for the migration to complete.

I spoke too soon, the byline still points to the old Mastodon account.

Hmm, I’m seeing the correct handle and tag in the HTML on this article – are you seeing something different?

Right now, I believe the author attribution will only show up on individual posts, not the blog index (though maybe we should change that?).

I do see the correct author metadata but sharing an individual post yields a link to the old instance. Maybe that’s because I’m sharing old posts created prior to the migration?

As for author attribution in the blog index, that would be nice but not a priority for me.

Now the author byline does work reliably also for posts published prior to the Mastodon migration.

Great! It’s possible that those pages were just cached for a while on our end, which would’ve made it slower to see the changes on Mastodon. But glad it’s working now

Right, and maybe the migration tooks some more to complete at Mastodon’s end.

There’s another issue possibly related to my Mastodon migration.

Under Customize > Post Signature, in the settings of my federated blog @paolo@journal.paoloamoroso.com I added the Mastodon handle of my personal account. This way replying to my blog’s toots from the Fediverse also mentions my Mastodon handle from which I can reply and interact.

This worked fine with the old Mastodon instance @amoroso@fosstodon.org but not the new one @amoroso@oldbytes.space.
