Description
Hello,
I face exactly that same issue
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/26065

Steps to reproduce
- Create a share folder
- Create a file in
- Review activity box : this is empty
Expected behaviour
I would like to have activity data
I want to mention that activity page is working : page is not empty -> activity by date
But to follow a file and what's happened on one file it is not appropriate
