Hi there. Congratulations on the release of the ActivityPub plugin.

I am having some issues though. I recently set up a new Discourse site on a new server and installed the AP plugin. All up-to-date with the latest versions

I have set up the actor for ‘General’ category, and it is enabled.  
On Mastodon, I can see the account `@general@forum.39.ie` but when I go to ‘Follow’ it and refresh the page, it indicates that it is waiting to be accepted as a follower (like a Private Profile)  
The account doesn’t appear in the ‘Followers’ page within General category \> Federation

In the logs, it shows the following:

```plaintext
[Discourse Activity Pub] POST request received by https://forum.39.ie/ap/actor/899d0b715d05d8360ff7fcb114c9c818/inbox failed: 401 Actor not found for key https://mastodon.ie/users/padraig#main-key 

```

Whenever I post in the General Forum and wait the 5 minutes, the AP logo still has a strike through it stating: “Note was not published via ActivityPub.” even though that AP is enabled.  
It gives me the AP link `https://forum.39.ie/ap/object/22b6a43c4d8ff6347360fa332ffffacf`

Within the logs, I do see the following:

```plaintext
[Discourse Activity Pub] GET request received by https://forum.39.ie/ap/object/fb7a31ae2fd15df4ee8a46644d4dbebb failed: 400 Bad request
[Discourse Activity Pub] https://forum.39.ie/ap/actor/899d0b715d05d8360ff7fcb114c9c818 failed to schedule https://forum.39.ie/ap/activity/1e68cf435ea927f3d828bc9f063f8bad for delivery: no recipients 

```

Which would make sense, no point in publishing if no one is following, but if I can’t follow the category successfully.

Have I perhaps missed a step, or would something be getting in the way?  
If there is anything else that is needed, please let me know. 🙂
