ActivityPub Starter Kit schema RFC, feedback appreciated!
have you already tested the "fediverse preview" in #WordPress 6.7?
@puppygirlhornypost2 @sebinthestars @hrefna @jenniferplusplus@lily
So, apparently I'm collecting a list of #ActivityPub pain points, now.
(shit)
What's your top ten list? I'd love to compare, and make sure I collect a complete picture, even if I don't have a good solution to the problem just yet.
I could make start.fedi.pub a landing page for Starter Kits, allowing users to select the client of their choice, aside from Pixelfed.
Lots of possibilities with Starter Kits, and I look forward to working with other projects to establish a shared spec, aka FEP!
@laurenshof where do you get your #WordPress#ActivityPub update news from? What would be your ideal way to consume them?
«As you may have read, #BotsIn.Space is closing down, I have lots of automated #bot accounts living on the #Fediverse - and I want them to continue posting. Installing and maintaining an entire Mastodon instance sounds like hard work.
»I write my own #ActivityPub server? Why, yes! Yes I did!
»I took the code and stripped it down to the bare essentials. All you need to do is upload two files- index.php and .htaccess - fill in your details, and you're done.»

People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.

#ActivityPub #bot #fediverse
We just released version 4.1.0 of the #ActivityPub Plugin for #WordPresshttps://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
Some handpicked features:
* Custom Preview for “Fediverse” (needs WordPress 6.7)
* Support `comment_previously_approved` setting
* Add title to content if post is a `Note` (cc @davew )
* Fallback to blog-user if specific user is disabled (cc @cdevroe )
Happy federated blogging!
The version on WordPress.com will also be updated soon!
Gestern bei einem inspirierenden Wordpress-Meetup bei @wp0711 gewesen und @pfefferle bei seinem mitreißenden Plädoyer fürs Bloggen und die Möglichkeiten im #Fediverse und #SocialWeb gelauscht. Bin hoch motiviert, unser anderes #Wordpress Blog nun auch zum Föderieren zu bringen. Stichwort #ActivityPub Plugin.
@tchambers @haubles @pluralistic @Mastodon
But Bluesky’s model is even better in that regard!
Currently, in the Fediverse you lose all your posts when you’re moving
With Bluesky, you don’t

@o_simardcasanova @haubles @pluralistic @Mastodon
Well, to be fair, you CAN download and upload your posts here and not lose them on Mastodon, but point taken that the migration is still getting there, but #ActivityPub is working that out for future version.
I'm still confused how BlueSky migration of social graphs would work IF there were another non-BlueSky entirely other ATproto service overall - and how that would work in terms of interoperablity with those users on the BlueSKy service.
Six months on it’s nice to have this reminder of why I love @pfefferle, #ActivityPub, @Mastodon, @WordPress and #TheFediverse in general ⬇️

@pluralistic EXCELLENT article!
Have you had a look at #Nostr too? It can be bridged with #ActivityPub and it appears to be totally resistant to #enshittification by design.
A little bitcoin-bro heavy in these early days, but it can outgrow that I think.

I am passionate about open standards for #Identity#Authenticity, #SocialMedia (#ActivityPub & #ActivityStreams), and data de-silo-fication initiatives (e.g. #SemanticWeb, #LODCloud, #LinkedData, #RWW, and #SmallData).
I don't like any kind of silo!

The choice is simple when you consider one is funded by a crypto VC firm, and the other is truly decentralized
Made it through @evan’s #activitypub book. Lots of good and useful stuff for implementors there.
Particularly intriguing: his chapter on “Far Horizons”: ideas on what else could be built with ActivityPub that goes beyond today’s typical social media functionality. Need an idea for a new project or startup? There are several interesting ones in there.
There are some new test reports, including system tests for:
* Running two Mastodon instances against each other
* Running Mastodon against WordPress + plugins
and even running three Mastodon instances against each other, for tests such as "if A posts, B reshares, and C gets it, and then A deletes the post, will it disappear on C" Happy to report that in case of Mastodon, it does!
Check them out: https://feditest.org/contrib/results/
you are asking what features the new ActivityPub plugin version has?
thanks for asking! ☺️
* Support for post visibility - you can choose between "public", "only followers" and "no federation".
* Attribution-Domains - that should fix the fediverse:creator issues, if you had issues
* Improved compatibility with caching plugins

Hello Fedi friends!
I've been refreshing the website of my project #TheRealists and I'm taking full advantage of the #ActivityPub#Wordpress plugin to share articles straight to the #Fediverse.
This one is from earlier this year, but it feels timely, with everything that's going on in the social media space. Most popular platforms feel like Pinocchio's Pleasure Island IMHO.
