πŸŽ‰ Big thanks to @2chanhaeng이찬행 for his first contribution to ! He implemented the new fedify webfinger command in PR #278, which allows isolated lookups for testing configurations. This addresses the need for developers to test WebFinger functionality without performing comprehensive object retrieval.

The contribution includes:

  • A new fedify webfinger <handle> command that accepts @user@domain format handles or URIs
  • Clean JSON output of WebFinger JRD results
  • Proper error handling for invalid handles and lookup failures
  • Complete integration with help text and usage examples

This was originally filed as issue #260 and marked as a good first issueβ€”perfect for newcomers to learn the codebase structure while contributing meaningful functionality. The PR has been merged and will be included in the upcoming Fedify 1.8.0 release.

We appreciate all first-time contributors who help make Fedify better for the entire community. Welcome aboard, ChanHaeng!
