thanks @mattwiebe and #wordpressdotcom and #Automattic and all other contributors!!!
This is amazing!!!
@pfefferle @mattwiebe please release some stats as sites enable the feature! Congrats on this milestone.
@cdevroe @mattwiebe we plan to build a NodeInfo endpoint so that you will see the stats on fedidb.org
@depone bissle aufregend!!!
Gratuliere @pfefferle ♥️🎉
@pfefferle shall we throw confedi?
@YamakaziTaiga sure 🎊 !!!
@pfefferle @mattwiebe
Does it works for https://wordpress.com/blog too?
@sahil @mattwiebe not YET!
@BeAware that is the focus for the next sprint!
@pfefferle does the latest iteration allow for replies to the comments directly from the blog account to be federated? Or is that still planned for a future version? Either way. This is awesome and I'm super glad it exists.
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Awesome! I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks 😃
@pfefferle @mattwiebe still half assed though bu auttomatic. Better plugins exist that let you choose an already existing account rather than adding another wordpress account to the millions already out there with an obscure name
@pfefferle @mattwiebe wie ist das bei wordpress.org 🤔
@MrGR @mattwiebe @Gargron für alle tarife (mit kleinen einschränkungen)
@grubenlampe45 @mattwiebe für die WordPress.org Website oder für Self-Hosted?
@pfefferle @mattwiebe self hosted
@Rch @lisamelton @mattwiebe it makes totally sense and we talked about that lately and our colleague @alex already build a plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-mastodon-apps/
@pfefferle @lisamelton @mattwiebe Cool! What I really want to know is if I have a Fediverse profile as part of a WordPress blog, will I ever be able to login to that with 3rd party Mastodon apps etc and post from them? Basically I want to have a single Fediverse presence on my own domain which includes my website posts but also oats from apps etc…
…did any of that make sense…?
@grubenlampe45 @mattwiebe https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
@pfefferle @mattwiebe thank you very much ☕️ have a nice evening 👋
@imarc @mattwiebe can you share your domain with us?
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Not yet working for me. My site appears when I search for it on Mastodon, but for some reason it requires approval to follow, yet no request is sent. I'm sure it'll be ironed out soon.
@pfefferle @mattwiebe @Mastodon is someone working on this for @typo3 as well?
@pfefferle Does this mean that you will try to implement monthly user activity (MUA)? @cdevroe @mattwiebe
@pfefferle @mattwiebe pretty cool stuff 🥳
@Woodchaz @mattwiebe no problem, then it simply works with your custom domain. :)
@pfefferle @mattwiebe
That's awesome. Anybody used it yet? What if you already have a domain for your blog?
@luca @mattwiebe that is a really good point. we have the onboarding flow on top of our list and I will add "predefined pages”! thanks for the feedback!
hello
two things i noticed on the still few blogs i’m following, maybe they’re still experimenting with the plugin but…
Mostly the discover happen when the owners share once their blog AP address from within a mastodon account, which in theory they don’t even have to have.
This is also a great option for subscribing to a blog you didn’t know that was on the fediverse
@pfefferle @mattwiebe this is awesome! lot of people freed !
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Awesome! Now just make it part of the downloadable WordPress version by default as well!
I still miss the early days of blogging when pingbacks used to work!
Just ensure this can't be easily taken advantage of. That's why pingbacks and comments have been disabled by most as of now.
@onreact @mattwiebe fyi: https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/
@pfefferle @mattwiebe any wordpress instance with this plugin around to test as a reader? Can we search for them somehow?
@pancake @mattwiebe you can try my blog, but it's german @notiz.blog or matts @mattwiebe.blog or @alex or @jeremy
If you search for blogs, maybe this is a nice address https://fedidb.org/software/wordpress
@pfefferle @mattwiebe I didn't know this was coming to non-Business sites, so this is amazing. I activated it immediately on my blog.
After testing though, I realized that one of the "fine-grained controls" not available to non-Business sites is the ability to restrict the AP content to just excerpts. This is quite a dealbreaker for me as I'd rather not have my articles being syndicated in full. Am I missing something or is this really not available for configuration? I'll reluctantly disable AP for my site in the meantime.
Perhaps for other bloggers it's not as much of a big deal, so this is still great news. Thanks for working on this. 🍻
@djramones @mattwiebe this is the first version and we are not done yet, I will add your request to the list! :)
@pfefferle @mattwiebe this actually looks super interesting
@pfefferle @mattwiebe I am wondering about how it will work on Wordpress, as far as I know, you cannot just delete the ActivityPub without a proper remove like tootctl self-destruct command to not leave cache on another server and if you did forget, it would do a funky thing especially if you use the same domain.
So I wonder if the Wordpres plug-in already thinks about this problem and if it is safe to install and uninstall the plug-in without any problem.
Thank you in advance for your reply
@dokter @mattwiebe this is indeed a good point. The plugin currently does not support a complete wipe out. It should be easy doable on WordPress.com but is really tricky on self installed versions.
Can you maybe file a GitHub issue for that?
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Done. I hope in the future release it will implemented.
The only thing that concerns me is not installing the plug-in to my self-hosted WordPress due to this problem.
If in the future I have to move my host will it break my ActivityPub federation, comments on my blog, etc.
Since connection to ActivityPub is good and it will put a new breath to WordPress since the blog will be back as a blog since people can comment and discuss something not just a static site.
@michal @mattwiebe @notiz.blog @pfefferle@notiz.blog @mattwiebe.blog @jeremy :)
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Thank you for your work!
Is there any running example of Wordpress with ActivityPub plugin enabled so I can test how it works from user point of view?
@kaffeeringe @mattwiebe das is bissle peinlich, aber an den eigen blogs arbeiten wir noch ;)
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Sehr cool!
Wie folge ich denn jetzt bspw. https://wordpress.com/blog/ - Unten in der Ecke ist ein Block "Follow" - aber der scheint damit nichts zu tun zu haben.
Gibt es irgendwo eine Übersicht der Blogs von Wordpress.com, denen ich folgen könnte?
@kaffeeringe @mattwiebe wenn du das @ weg lässt sollte es klappen. aber nur für die, die eine subdomain benutzen.
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Ach was. Nicht peinlich. Die Alternative wäre gewesen, das Feature für alle zu verzögern, weil das eigene Blog noch nicht umgestellt ist.
Aber generell kann ich nicht einfach nach @wordpres.com suchen und bekomme dann Blogs angezeigt, denen ich folgen kann, oder?
@kaffeeringe @pfefferle @mattwiebe Great stuff! I look forward to many more blogs to get there fediverse presence!
Follow-up q about authors: it’s so far not possible to “hide” authors, right? And only those with existing posts are visible?
I have two cases in mind. An old author that might distract from newer ones. And - more importantly - a silent admin account that should stay invisible.
@b3n @kaffeeringe @mattwiebe there are two modes that you can combine. We introduced a blog-user that represents the whole blog and we have authors (all author has his profile in the fediverse).
* Only Blog-User enabled: Blog user federates all posts regardless of the author
* Only Authors: every post will be federated using the author account
* Both enabled: every post will be federated using the author account and the blog user boosts that post.
Maybe option one fits for you?
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Noch wird mir da kein Profil angezeigt, aber es haben ja auch noch nicht alle eingeschaltet UND etwas gepostet.
Cool wäre es, wenn es einen Account gebe, der neue Blogs im Fediverse "begrüßt" - also meldet, wenn jemand das Feature anschaltet.
Bei mir läuft es übrigens unter @blog - self-hosted.
@pfefferle @mattwiebe thanks. this indeed looks amazing, but I have no clue of what I just installed :D
I activated the plugin at yesnotes.info but now have no idea what is posted where and who can read it - HAHAHA.
@wpcommaven @mattwiebe on my way :)
@imarc @Callistobeast @pfefferle we're looking into it! Just tried a potential fix that didn't work.
@mattwiebe @Callistobeast @pfefferle In case you've not seen it, this might be of interest: https://blog.rac.me.uk/2022/11/10/activitypub-for-wordpress-how-to-fix-modsecurity-to-make-it-work/

@Callistobeast @mattwiebe @pfefferle @imarc.co.uk Nope, not yet.
@imarc @mattwiebe @pfefferle @imarc.co.uk did anyone give you a solution yet?
@imarc @pfefferle I was able to follow @imarc.co.uk ok from my Mastodon account here, didn't see anything about follow approval
@mattwiebe @pfefferle @imarc.co.uk It's showing 0 followers, are you still following? What happens for me is: it appears to follow, but when I reload, it acts as if I have a request pending.
@pfefferle @mattwiebe Sure it is: imarc.co.uk
