Subscribing to a Threads user via ActivityPub isn't supported

[2br-2b]

Hello!

Right now, if I try to subscribe to a federated Threads user via ActivityPub (see @alex.stamos@threads.net as an example), it provides an error that there aren't any feeds available:

Thanks for the report. I need to investigate what's going on. The request below typically works for Mastodon servers but looks like not for Threads.

$ curl -H"Accept: application/activity+json" https://threads.net/ap/users/17841400831593087/
{"success":false,"error":"Not found"}

@pfefferle do you have an idea here?

Oh, I recall that on threads.net you need to enable ActivityPub for your account. So Alex Stamos didn't do this.

Oh sorry, you said they were federated and I can confirm this on a Mastodon account, so I need to find a way to talk to threads.net differently.
