I've been working on #ActivityPub support in the Agora, looking forward to testing!

The idea is to offer a relatively time-agnostic entrypoint into people's writings.

@flancian Nice. I also found this https://github.com/flancian/agora-server/blob/main/FEDERATION.md
Do you have a federated instance where I can follow an actor?

[flancian@social.coop]

@silverpill hi silverpill, thank you for taking a look 😁

I still need to fix and implement a lot but yes, you should be able to already follow actors in the reference ("production") Agora, e.g. @flancian@anagora.org.

@flancian @flancian Follow-Accept works! I can't retrieve a Note, though. In outbox they have IDs like https://anagora.org/2025-11-12#/garden/flancian/2025-11-12.md, which resolve to an HTML document.

@silverpill @flancian@anagora.org oh thank you for catching that! And for using outbox -- I was surprised to learn that many implementations don't ever poll the outbox, IIUC?

I'll try to fix this today!

I checked your FEP activity, very cool! And will look further into Mitra. How are you testing behavior while developing? Manually or with an automated suite?

>I was surprised to learn that many implementations don't ever poll the outbox, IIUC?

Yes, outbox polling is not widespread. Mastodon seems to do this, but not many others.

>Manually or with an automated suite?

Manually :)

@flancian@social.coop @flancian@anagora.org confirming follow accept working from NodeBB as well.

Hello world!

[flancian@social.coop]

@silverpill I have fixed this, I think, could you try again? :)

I'm testing a federation worker that will send new posts to followers periodically; I think it's working now so you should have received some posts from @flancian@anagora.org at mitra.social.

@julian @flancian@anagora.org thank you Julian, nice to meet you and learn about [[NodeBB]] as well :)

https://nodebb.org/ looks cool!

[silverpill@mitra.social]

@flancian @flancian I got the posts, and I can pull from outbox now, too. Thanks!
