   @janboddez interested in a coop?

   What do you think about: if someone uses the ActivityPub plugin to directly federate his posts, he could install your "Share on Mastodon" plugin, to not crosspost, but automatically boost the just federated post using a Mastodon Account?

     @janboddez If a hook is missing, this is added fast :)

     There is not yet a good documentation, but if you tell me what you need, I can provide the needed informations.

     There is not yet a filter, to decide what to post and what not. At least not on post level. You can enable/disable federation for Post-Types though. I am planning to add a checkbox to the editor, to enable/disable federation per post and this could be also filterable.

     @pfefferle Let me look into that. It _should_ be possible, given that Share on Mastodon has API access. Assuming there are a number of ActivityPub action hooks for something like this, are they documented somewhere?

     I’m going to have to play with ActivityPub some more … I always wondered, is there a hook, maybe, to allow certain posts to be skipped? Or base the activity type on a post’s post format or post type?

     @janboddez Post-Formats are also not yet supported, but might be a nice addition to, for example, federate only `Note`, `Status` and maybe `Aside`!

     @pfefferle Watch out with editor checkboxes! Super weird behavior (if you use classic meta boxes) in combination with Gutenberg.

     For instance, I noticed the AP plugin uses `transition_post_status` and checks `'publish' === $new_status && 'publish' !== $old_status`. With Gutenberg, the first time this hook is run, it will *not* have access to any `$_POST` variables (like a meta box checkbox).

     It is then run a 2nd time during which it does, but by then `$old_status` will already be `publish`!
