I fixed it! I think what I did was to ensure

SSLProxyEngine on  
SSLProxyVerify none

were in my ssl conf for Apache. But honestly I fiddled so much I can’t be sure that’s what it was and I don’t want to test it in case I break it lol  
Thanks for coming on this journey with me!

(I got rid of all the activitypub specific lines too)
