Hello @nightarchive,

There is currently a limitation with changing domains on the social web: your social web (ActivityPub) account is tied to the domain that was used when it was first registered. This means that switching to a new domain requires a fresh new ActivityPub account.

If you’re happy to proceed with that, you can either reply in this forum thread with your site domain or contact support at support@ghost.org and we’ll register a fresh new ActivityPub account for your site.

A new account has been registered for your site, the Network tab should now be loading correctly :slight_smile:
