<![CDATA[Fediverse Relay server updated]]>I’ve updated the relay server back end to properly support wordpress clients pushing content to the relay. If you have a server you wouldn’t mind pointing at the relay, I’d love to get some more sites on it to test it out.

The address is: https://relay.argentwolf.org

If you have any issues, please let me know at alan@friendica.argentwolf.org thanks!

If you are interested in trying the server out, you can get it here. Version 2.4.0 is in testing and will be released soon!

github.com/thystra/Activity-Re…

This has fixed/adjusted the certificate issue, and I have documented transfer of posts from my test nodebb -> friendica and nodebb->mastodon
and vice versa.

I'll let it run for another day or two, looking for more test subjects/connections and I'll push it to final barring any new issues.

But at least it sounds like I'm able to receive your activities now!

I think the Follow is sent and now correctly processed by your relay, but the Accept that it sends back is not signed correctly. I will attempt to debug.

bb.devnull.land shows as subscribed to the relay on relay.argentwolf.org.

But I see it's gone now.

The relay now accepts the NodeBB server actor, but both its outbound Accept and reciprocal Follow received HTTP 400, after which NodeBB sent Undo(Follow). Could you send the verbose bb.devnull.land logs from 2026-07-28 03:57:37 through 03:58:25 UTC, especially any activitypub/verify, middleware/activitypub, dispatcher, schema-validation, or inbox error lines? Also please include the exact NodeBB version.

I'm curious to see what your Accept looks like <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f937.png?v=c7cc56fe415" title="🤷" /> but I guess if it's failing signature validation then it's not even getting to that part.

Log's pretty vague, but maybe that helps. I'll try to find another relay running ActivityRelay to test. Might be an incompatibility with that style entirely, who knows.

Last attempt was 23:06 EDT or so

Once you try again, please let me know!

Regressions do occur so most likely it's on my end.
