Ah its more complicated than I thought. We also have a similar or same feature on the roadmap, when I get to that it can federate with Piefed.

For the federating its a new kind of AP actor. I'll be putting in a FEP for it in the near future, but its basically a "Group" that only cares about the "Following" collection.

You can see example json for the AP interactions here: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/activitypub_examples/feeds

The AP interactions for a Feed are:

Send a Follow request for a Feed
Accept a Follow request (this is automatic for public feeds)
Reject a Follow request (this is automatic for private feeds)
Announce an Add of a Community to a Feed
Announce a Remove of a Community from a Feed
Send a Delete of a Feed to subscribers

Hmm so the Feed actor mainly consists of a following collection and uses Add/Remove activities. This really sounds like it should be a Collection and not an actor.

Possibly. At the end of the day it's all just JSON.
