Adding Micro.blog issue

    Couldn’t find any similar thread here about this.

    I’m using Friends with the ActivityPub plugin and I’m successfully adding mastodon users as friends. But when I try to add a micro.blog friend, the feed shows as empty and a refresh throws a “An error occurred while retrieving the posts.” error when trying. If I follow the URL, the posts are there.

    Any idea whats going on? Should this even work? Quite new to ActivityPub so I could also be misunderstanding something completely.

    Hi! Are you trying to subscribe to a micro.blog using ActivityPub? Typically this would actually be via a JSONFeed like this:

    I’m trying to add two friends. One has a mastodon.social account for posting, the other has micro.blog for his posting. Was trying to add them as friends using their @xxx@xxxx.xx, worked fine for the mastodon.social friend, but not the micro.blog.

    I see! Looks like there is currently a bug at micro.blog regarding their ActivityPub implementation. I’ve contacted the founder and hope to get it fixed soon.

    Alright, it turns out it was a combination of two things: On the one side a bug on Friends that I fixed with the newly released 2.8.4. Additionally Manton of micro.blog fixed a detail in their implementation of webfinger. Thanks, Manton!

    Could you please try again and tell me if it works now with the new version? Thanks!

    Hello @akirk, thanks for checking on this! Tried again but same result. The friend is @johan@johanl.se if you want to try yourself.
