i find this quite weird, i use vesktop and that works - i believe they have the same arRPC implementation but i might be wrong

So just ran into this issue as well.

I had vesktop installed as a FLATPAK. The installer works just fine, didn't return any errors, but my activity on steam was still blank.

Flatpaks are designed to have their own sandbox that's cut off from the rest of your system, to prevent the application from having unwanted access to critical directories. You can try flatseal to try and grant it more permissions, but it probably still wouldn't have worked anyway due to the nature of how flatpaks are designed, so I didn't bother.

I just built vesktop from source and threw the install folder in my /usr/local/bin, and binned the executable to my desktop.

TL;DR: Due to how flatpaks are designed, it most likely can't see the steam-presence service as its sandboxed and blocked off from the rest of your system. Use Discord/Vesktop as an appimage, or build it from source. Problem solved.

For the project dev: really nifty program btw! I like how when you click on what I'm playing, even on vanilla discord (desktop app only), I get all the info about the game! Super cool! Thanks for your work on this!

Edit 2: haha jk, the clicking the game and it showing all the info just seems like a new thing discord implemented

Thanks! I will test non flatpak version and tell if it worked for me
