<![CDATA[BSD Cafe login via a star (favourite) icon]]>https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/116335936780760250 NLI (not logged in). Firefox in safe mode.

I click the star to favourite the post, I'm invited to sign in, I type my Google email address, then click Go. Result:

Google

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL /authorize_interaction?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.bsd.cafe%2Fusers%2Fstefano%2Fstatuses%2F116335936780760250 was not found on this server. That’s all we know.`

Can anyone else confirm this? If so, I might report an issue at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/ (I can't find a matching report there).

Workaround

Ignore the star, click the Sign In button in the sidebar to the right.

The normal hint is automatically hidden by my real email address (pixelated in the screenshot below):

6404e482-4e9b-4ed8-99ce-17d9e0b61814-image.jpeg

Keyword in the screenshot above: whatever.

My email address is used for the Mastodon instance, but does not identify the instance. Whatever.

After clearing the auto-fill, the hint is visible:

Eg username@mastodon.social

The opening post is solved (tagged), I have flagged it for a move to the test area. Apologies for the noise.
