Federation issue with Hometown

[wakest]

Quick summary

there is a discussion here https://niagara.social/@kostyn/113286764577822977 already but to summarize what I discovered:

this post is not showing up when searched for from either merveilles.town or niagara.social which are both running Hometown (a fork of Mastodon by @dariusk) so it seems maybe the issue is with compatibility of Hometown and WordPress AP. Seems Hometown still has a lot of users tho so still seems important to solve from one side or the other

Steps to reproduce

Search this post on a Hometown instance

Could be fixed by #931 but I will have another look!

Okay, looking into this! Basically going to log my process here as I go.

On a clean Hometown install when I put https://kostyn.ca/fuck-sustainable-development-goals-have-yall-ever-heard-of-communism-reviewing-kohei-saitos-slow-down-the-degrowth-manifesto/ into the search bar of the web client and search, I get a "500" error reported on the client side, and I get this in the logs:

Sooo the problem is in my process_inline_images function. I'm opening an issue on Hometown shortly that will link back to here for reference.
