I love how Automattic (the company behind wordpress) embraces the #ActivityPub protocol. It's a great fit philosophically and I am curious to see where it goes.

I just tried to hook it up via the plugin to use it to share photos. But it seems like images are not yet supported? Would be a nice way to build a personal instagram-like feed, especially when the comments are synced.

@pfefferle (sorry for summoning you so ruthlessly), are you planning to integrate support for the post's main image?

@kallekn @pfefferle Thank you, that's good to know! I was looking at the Template Tags and missed the image there. I'll just try it.

Is there a user avatar shared with the blog? Maybe the Gravatar image?

@b3n @kallekn There even is a template-tag (you have to check the help in the top ride of the settings screen) but because Mastodon does not support inline images, they are added as attachments. But maybe Friendi.ca or Misskey/Calckey do support inline-media and it makes sense to use both.

The plugin does only support user profiles atm. there is no blog wide stream yet. So yes, it uses the gravatar image (or any other image, that is hooked into the `get_avatar` function).

@kainoa @b3n @kallekn ok, thanks! then it is only Friendi.ca!

@pfefferle @kainoa @kallekn Thank you, that’s good to know. Maybe I just missed the attachment info 🙏🏻

Amazing also that even the avatars work. Kind of magic that I can set up an avatar account, the image appears in my WordPress wenn the mail address is the same, and it’s then published via Activity Pub 💫
