# Adding Micro.blog issue

 * Couldn’t find any similar thread here about this.
 * I’m using Friends with the ActivityPub plugin and I’m successfully adding mastodon
   users as friends. But when I try to add a micro.blog friend, the feed shows as
   empty and a refresh throws a “An error occurred while retrieving the posts.” 
   error when trying. If I follow the URL, the posts are there.
 * Any idea whats going on? Should this even work? Quite new to ActivityPub so I
   could also be misunderstanding something completely.

 * Hi! Are you trying to subscribe to a micro.blog using ActivityPub? Typically 
   this would actually be via a JSONFeed like this:

 * I’m trying to add two friends. One has a mastodon.social account for posting,
   the other has micro.blog for his posting. Was trying to add them as friends using
   their [@xxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xxx/)@xxxx.xx, worked fine for
   the mastodon.social friend, but not the micro.blog.

 * I see! Looks like there is currently a bug at micro.blog regarding their ActivityPub
   implementation. I’ve contacted the founder and hope to get it fixed soon.

 * Alright, it turns out it was a combination of two things: On the one side a bug
   on Friends that I fixed with the [newly released 2.8.4](https://github.com/akirk/friends/releases/tag/2.8.4).
   Additionally Manton of micro.blog fixed a detail in their implementation of webfinger.
   Thanks, Manton!
 * Could you please try again and tell me if it works now with the new version? 
   Thanks!
