Can somebody give me a hint how to figure out what the problem is?

@achim
Silly question but I tend to forget it every time I haven't done http requests for a while:
Did you set your request header "Content-Type: application/json" ? -

@achim you can try to debug with https://activitypub.academy
It can display the activity exchanges that happen between the test account you create there and your instance.

@mariusor That looks great! Thanks for the hint, I'll have a closer look.

@achim I don't know about Mastodon, but here are some general tips:
- Your actor is served with content-type
application/json, but it should beapplication/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"
- It's better to embed the key in your actor document and identify it with a fragment ID. This is more widely supported than standalone keys. -

I'll have a look and will probably pop up in your Matrix channel. I was not aware that there is a maintained ActivityPub project in Rust.

@achim Lemmy is also in Rust! And there are two Rust libraries:
- https://docs.rs/activitypub_federation/latest/activitypub_federation/ (from Lemmy devs)
- https://docs.rs/apx_sdk/latest/apx_sdk/ (this one is developed by me) -

@achim I have managed to get Federation working with divedb, which is open source: https://github.com/cetra3/divedb. I used the activitypub_federation crate to get it working. Might be worthwhile having a look!
