I’ve set up ActivityPub plugin, but I cannot follow the actors I’ve set up on my instance from any other fedi app. When I try to follow: news@forum.internet-czas-dzialac.pl from a Mastodon client, and refresh the mastodon UI, the follow request is stuck: [image] It’s been stuck at “withdraw fol…

I can reproduce, though I see a slightly different UI: [CleanShot 2025-03-14 at 11.58.11@2x] Can you try How to debug connectivity issues with ActivityPub see if any of that helps?

No geoblocker configured on my server Disabling requiring signed requests in the plugin settings at admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=plugin%3Adiscourse-activity-pub did not resolve the issue I"m seeing the following warnings in the logs: [Discourse Activity Pub] Failed to process ht…

I think I’ve found the issue. I’ve sent a PR that fixes this: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub/pull/193 The gist of the change is adding these getters: app/serializers/discourse_activity_pub/ap/actor_serializer.rb 71c018726 def inbox …

Your issue is that objects are somehow being created with ids in the first place. It’s not related to the serializer (or the fabricator). Could you please share: The environment of your discourse, i.e. how you’re hosting, and what version of Discourse you’re using. Any other plugins you’re using.

@kuba-orlik Your issue is likely caused by this PR https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub/pull/188 This should address it: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub/pull/194 Thanks for reporting the issue, and for your patience!

Thanks @angus for looking into it! Unfortunately, Even with latest version, the issue persists. [image] angus: The environment of your discourse, i.e. how you’re hosting, and what version of Discourse you’re using. I’m self-hosting using the official docker setup (./launcher rebuild app). I…

Going back to a previous commit would not have helped once the issue presented. Please try re-saving the actors in Admin > ActivityPub, i.e. click "Save Actor" in /admin/plugins/ap/actor.

Ah! I re-saved the category actors and it works! Now, how do I fix individual user actors, like https://forum.internet-czas-dzialac.pl/ap/actor/0098dcca74e34cfd2115e9309a7d4531? > curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://forum.internet-czas-dzialac.pl/ap/actor/0098dcca74e34cfd2115e9309a…

Glad it’s working! [image] kuba-orlik: Now, how do I fix individual user actors The current data verification checks will apply whenever a user is involved in an actual activity (i.e. it will self-rectify when needed), nevertheless it is a good idea to extend the same verification checks on …

It works now! Switching to your fork for now :slight_smile:

No, it is. Following Discourse actors, who are categories or tags, are supported. Users of a forum can’t be followed via ActivityPub. Those are ”pseudo users” whos post category/tag actor is boosting.
