 * I can see in my webserver logs a bunch of 404 errors for /.well-known/host-meta
 * Almost all of these requests are from Friendica servers, so I assume they use
   this for something.

 * The old version of WebFinger used host-meta. I assume, that Friendica is trying
   to check both versions, to be backwards compatible. If you do not see any problems,
   that Friendica users can’t follow your blog for example, I wouldn’t change anything.
   If you want to also support the “legacy stack”, you can install the host-meta
   and webfinger plugin:

 * Both plugins are compatible with ActivityPub.
