User agent for Threads ActivityPub traffic?


Testing what exists of Threads federation so far, and I can follow users that have opted in, but receive no posts from them when I know they've posted something. I don't have an Instagram account, much less Threads, so I assume they're public posts if I can see them on their profiles.

Right now, I'm checking my web server logs to see if I'm getting any traffic from them at all, but searching for "threads" (case insensitive) in the user agent turns up nothing. Does anyone know what the user agent is, if it's not that?

Also you will easily recognize the IPv6 address. πŸ˜€

Thanks, and yeah... that is a pretty obvious IP, now that I see it πŸ˜€

I found the problem. The version of CRS I'm running with mod_security doesn't like the "profile=" part of the Content-Type request header. Easy enough to bypass that one rule until I have a better solution, but I'm surprised I haven't had problems already, considering that's part of the ActivityPub standard.

Referring to the last 2 groups of digits being "face:b00c".
