I’m working on an an automation framework and I’m trying to use the activitypub protocol to send a message to a user’s mailbox.

I am following this guide

which is quite old. I’ve set up my webfinger and my user account page and that is now discoverable by the fediverse

However I cannot figure out how to send a PM to a specific mailbox. The payload and url provided in that guide just return 400.

Can anyone assist?

If you know of a better community to ask, please let me know.

    I managed to get it to work for Mastodon. Unfortunately lemmy doesn’t provide any documentation on its activitypub implementation, so I’m currently reading the code.

    Anyone know the format of the payload to send to an inbox? Either the shared /inbox/ or a direct user’s inbox like https://overctrl.dbzer0.com/u/overseer/inbox

    The mastodon payload just returns Response Body: data did not match any variant of untagged enum PersonInboxActivitiesWithAnnouncable

    I managed to figure it out. I was missing “type”:“Person” in my origin server user json
