Errors
connector_recipient_not_addressed
502 – Direct message addressed nobody. The instance accepted the status and mentioned nobody in it.
Direct message addressed nobody. Answered with 502.
What it means
The instance accepted the status and mentioned nobody in it. A Mastodon direct message is addressed by mentioning its recipient, so one with no mention reached its author and no one else – and the instance answered 201 either way, which is why Tigby reads what it wrote back rather than trusting the status code.
What to do
Send it again with the text alone; Tigby prepends the address. Check the recipient exists on the instance it names.
