Follow

Follow

The Follow activity enables actors to access and retrieve content from other actors as soon as it updates.

Request

Internal Logic

When Communecter receives a follow activity on an object, it performs the following actions:

• Sends a notification to the followed actor.
• The followed actor can choose to accept or ignore the follow request.
• If the request is accepted, the follower will receive updates from the followed actor in their activity feed.

Example

In this example, Alice sends a follow activity to follow Bob on Communecter:

{
  "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
  "type": "Follow",
  "object": "https://communecter.org/api/activitypub/users/u/Bob",
  "id": "https://communecter.org/api/activitypub/activity/id/Follow123",
  "actor": "https://communecter.org/api/activitypub/users/u/oceatoon"
}
