I have been getting the above error for several weeks now trying to add cross posting to Mastodon.
I don’t think this is an error on my end since I’ve been able to authenticate with many other apps/clients, but if anyone has any experience with this type of thing, could you provide any tips to get this fixed? Thanks in advance.
I think this happens when some authentication info with the Mastodon server is cached and has changed. I’ve reset it to your server in Micro.blog. Can you try again and let me know if it doesn’t work?
Howdy @manton, I have encountered the same problem as reported here. I don’t suppose you could give my account a similar nudge to see if that fixes it? (jmac@micro.blog, mastodon server masto.nyc)
As best I can tell, this happens when something on the Mastodon side changes, like maybe a re-install or database upgrade?
I’ve reset the cache for mementomori.social so let me know if that works now. I think I can automatically reset it in the future when detecting this error.
Tried logging into an account on a different server hoping that would clear this authentication error if I then tried to log into the original. Still no dice.
If anyone is still seeing this, can you email help@micro.blog with the Mastodon server name? Often I can manually reset our cache for that server and it will start working.
