[...] I checked out the Mastodon source code and searched for the error message. My Ruby-skills are limited, but it looks like Mastodon expects the type "Account".

I dont't understand what Mastodon expects from me. Any hint would be highly appreciated.

In the meanwhile I'll give https://activitypub.academy/ ad try ...

@achimAchim Domma @silverpill no, I think Mastodon accepts `Person` just fine.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://cosocial.ca/users/evan/statuses/115877773144926751 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
