    Yeah, be good to be able to enable this feature. Maybe need some Well Known settings for it too? 🤷

      Hi @nebulon, thank you for the prompt response. That does sound strange – I'm using a heavily customized theme (although my ghost app install is vanilla) so I'll have to spin up a new Ghost installation to double-check this further. In the meantime, @jdaviescoates would you be able to try replicating this issue? I'd appreciate if you can enable the feature, and see if you receive errors.

      I made sure to restart the ghost app from Cloudron after enabling federation, and it didn't solve anything.

        Well enabling it worked.

        But it doesn't seem to really actually work.

        After enabling it I was redirected to ghost/#/activitypub/explore but

        93571632-2f51-46b3-81dd-11a200acd125-image.png

        But I can't actually post any notes:

        1cdee6fc-1e14-4339-bb9e-0be10a981682-image.png

        And for most of the links I just get:

        b2e757bc-2aed-4d9d-a8d6-c7691231e9d1-image.png

        So, I didn't break my site, but it also just doesn't work šŸ˜ž

          Yes, that's exactly the same issue I faced. Enabling it does work, but it looks like the social/activitypub features are broken.

            Well, it's in beta right now anyway, and only then on Ghost(Pro) - https://ghost.org/help/social-web/ . Give it time.

            EDIT: I kept reading and at the very end it says it's open to all customers... is that self-hosters too?

            BUT, there is this line in the middle of the article "At the moment, short-form posts that you publish here don't show up on your website. They just go out to your followers on the social web." So, try following someone first, then post. Feel free to follow me @shane@social.futurnumerique.com. Let me know your handle, I will follow you, and when you post from your Ghost blog I'll try to see if I can see it.

              At least for me I couldn't follow anyone as searching for accounts just doesn't work.

                @scooke Yes, I can confirm that it's not an issue of not being able to follow people. As you can see from the screenshot in my original bug report, the routes simply do not work.

                  I think this is only for Ghost Pro at the moment. I have the same loading error. Interested to see when / if it is enabled for self hosters.

                    @bmann sounds like the intention is for it to ship with Ghost 6.0:

                      now that we are on ghost 6.0 any updates ? it seems that
                      Cloudron does not currently support Ghost's ActivityPub/Federated Web Feature, as confirmed by bug reports showing that site admins can enable federation activity in their Ghost settings, but when Cloudron users turn it on, the site stops working due to .ghost/activitypub/ routes not being available
                      The core issue is that ActivityPub requires specific routes (/.ghost/activitypub/*, /.well-known/webfinger and /.well-known/nodeinfo) to be proxied to the ActivityPub service Serve federated apps from root domain | Cloudron Forum, but Cloudron's reverse proxy configuration doesn't know how to handle these routes yet.

                        I assume the set up has to be done wherever root domain is hosted (which could be in Cloudron or outside Cloudron)? If in Cloudron, you can set up the route inside the app. For example, if you have Surfer, just set up those routes to server whatever they need to serve.

                          I’m hoping to get some support for this feature on Cloudron soon. I’d love to use fediverse support on my Ghost-powered websites. I think it might be possible to have multiple Ghost instances running on the same server, but I’m not sure if there are any potential issues with that.

                            Just adding my voice to say that I'm keen for this to get up and running as well. The ActivityPub integration has been a long-awaited feature with Ghost 6.0, and it was a bit of an anti-climax to realise it's not working on the Cloudron app version yet. šŸ˜…
