We just released version 2.6.0 of the plugin for

You can now (finally) add/edit/delete the extra fields, we improved the remote-reply overlay quite a bit and made a lot of smaller tweaks and fixes.

Let us know if you have some feedback!

WordPress.orgActivityPubThe ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format.

@pfefferle@mastodon.social nice, congrats!

Who does your art assets (like the cover photo)? We'd love to work with them too.

@pfefferle

Thanks for your continued work and development of this tool.

Hi @pfefferle
re: "fediverse:creator" - it seems to default to the AP author, OK. But as I've implemented it manually, pointing to my Mastodon profile, I might get conflicts sooner or later...
<meta property="fediverse:creator" name="fediverse:creator" content="cybeardjm@www.didiermary.fr" />
vs
<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="cybeardjm@masto.ai" />

@pfefferle IMHO, should be opt-in and/or let people choose who's the creator?

@pfefferle I can't find the Extra Fields section on my blogs, how do I add them?

@AdamStuartSmith they are only for authors for now and you can find them on the profile settings and/or as profile submenu.

@pfefferle Ah, that explains it, I'm using blog profile. Thanks!

@silverpill@mitra.social Whoa, thanks for highlighting this line in the changelog!

I wasn't aware of fb2a until just now, and after reading it, I 100% support it. Was hesitant to follow Mastodon's lead due to the schema.org bit, but this FEP handedly sidesteps it using existing AP vocabulary. Love it. Nice work @trwnh@mastodon.social

@julian for some reason this didn't show up in my mentions, huh.

@julian same issue with this one! only shows up on your profile, not in my home feed or mentions. i’m not sure if you made a change recently or if m.s did!

@trwnh @julian this FEP sounds like it wouldn't be too hard to start supporting in Mastodon, though will clients deduplicate based on `name` ?

@thisismissem@hachyderm.io backfill and sync are two components of an overall implementation of resolvable contexts. The context id itself would be the discriminator between different contexts, but there are further discussions to be had (and agreed upon) regarding what a canonical context is, and how contexts relate to each other.

e.g. a given conversation may contain objects that report several different contexts, how do we reconcile that for backfill and sync?

So these issues I'd like to discuss at next ForumWG before I start drafting a report or FEP.

@thisismissem@hachyderm.io lol crap, I thought you were referring to a different FEP altogether.

Nevermind!

@thisismissem mastodon is acting as the activitypub client here, so mastodon api clients won't have to do anything

@trwnh sorry, I meant other consumers of AP data

@thisismissem well, you either understand the old mastodon format or you understand the new fep format or you understand both or you understand neither.

old: you will ignore Note/Link attachments
new but not old: you will ignore the invalid PropertyValue attachments
new and old: you deduplicate
neither: ignore everything in attachment

@trwnh yeah, so I'm wondering how new + old deduplicates, I think that'd be good to have in writing

@trwnh@mastodon.social knowing my luck it's something I did. If it does show up on my timeline then it means it successfully federated, but if you weren't notified then perhaps the mention was not included in the federated payload. Will have to check.

@trwnh@mastodon.social thanks, manually pulled it in. @silverpill@mitra.social mentioned the same, but I thought I fixed it.

Looks like I'll have to look into it again. It might be related to how Discourse currently reports the NodeBB topic as the context (since the original thread was from NodeBB) but since it's not actually in the collection it doesn't get added. Chicken-egg problem...!

@trwnh@mastodon.social Okay, so I've tried debugging this a bit and I'm at a loss as to why the notifications don't show up on Mastodon.

I can confirm that:

  • The mention is an anchor in content
  • It has a corresponding entry in tag
  • Each mention in tag is of type Mention with the user's ID (not url!!) as href, and name is their full handle with @ prefix and domain.

Not entirely sure when it stopped working either, and notifications also do not appear on ActivityPub Academy (running v4.1.18).

@pfefferle Kann man die App auch in die WordPress-App einbauen?

@carsten welche App in welche App? ActivityPub ist nur das Protokoll zum verteilen der Posts. Du kannst also weiterhin die WordPress App zum Posten benutzen!

@carsten oder meinst du die Erweiterungen? Beschreibungen und links!?!

@pfefferle Gnaaaa, falschen Baum angebellt. Ich meinte das Friends-Plugin.

@carsten schau die mal das enable mastodon app plugin an! Damit kannst du mastodon apps nutzen um auf WordPress zu posten. Damit funktionieren jetzt oder zumindest in absehbarer Zeit auch die spezieleinstellungen wie Profilbilder, Links usw.
