Recent Friendica issue following NodeBB Activitypub groups (categories)

@Friendica Support

I noticed a problem that arose recently (no more than three or four months ago).

In practice, when I try to follow a NodeBB Activitypub group (citiverse.it instance) from Friendica (poliverso.org instance), Friendica doesn't recognize the group as an Activitypub actor and gives me this error message.

I'm experiencing this problem with both old and new groups.

For example, with the group @Bluesky, which is a few months old, at the link citiverse.it/category/55, it's recognized, but I can't join it. When I try to join, I get this error message.

Exception thrown in /var/www/friendica/src/Module/Contact/Profile.php:197
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/friendica/src/BaseModule.php(251): Friendica\Module\Contact\Profile->content()

#2 /var/www/friendica/src/App.php(190): Friendica\App->runFrontend()
#3 /var/www/friendica/index.php(22): Friendica\App->processRequest()
#4 {main}

With a newly created group, for example, the @wordpress@citiverse.it group at the link citiverse.it/category/231, I can't even capture it with the search function; and if I try to insert the link, it only captures the RSS actor.

What do you think the problem might be?

We have received a Copyright claim from Amazon for our @PeerTube instance videos.trom.tf/ . Hetzner, the hosting company where we have the dedicated server at, gave us 24h to resolve it.

The problem?

The video in question, a documentary about "aliens", a garbage piece of content, was NOT hosted on our instance, of course. But since Peertube is federated the idiots sent the claim to our hosting company. Even if UNDER the video you can see that video is "Posted By:" and the instance and username. It takes a few seconds to see where the video is hosted.

But who cares...maybe Amazon has "AI Agents" employed and they simply find a video of theirs on a URL and see the IP of that URL and submit a Copyright claim to the hosting where that domain is registered?!

Bunch of idiots.

But it is very concerning the fact that they can do these and we, the ones who host (and for free for that matter), need to quickly "fix" these things even if the claim has nothing to do with our server.

We eventually had to block that URL, thanks Peertube for allowing that, else these idiots cannot understand that it was not us who were hosting that video.
