Unable to interact with flipboard.com

Flipboard is now federating via activitypub on the main flipboard.com domain. Takahe seems to have an issue interacting with that instance.

This is the error I'm getting on stator.

Fixing this is going to require someone to sit down and spend some quality time with a local dev copy. I presume it's just a small tweak to how things are fetched.
the error happens when sending follow request.
is there code of flipboard.com available?
No, this sort of debugging generally requires treating the other end as a black box and repeatedly trying different things until it's clear what works.
This seems fixed now in main.
It's still not possible to follow flipboard.com account but the problem seems on their end. AFAIK they are using actor_url + '/inbox' instead of actual inbox url to post back ACCEPT for follow request.
