so how DOES federating work with old content anyway (or does it just not)?
I set up @sirtaptap.com which should be a feed of all my website's articles...but it seems to have posted all my existing content before I federated so it's empty on .social

Since the posts were already created before it was federated, other instances won't see those existing posts. You will have to manually search the URL to make it appear in your current instance.
The #ActivityPub protocol is based on when an instance discovered another instance (or an account in another instance for that matter).
Another way is to reshare that content.
Think of a timeline. Your site is technically a separate instance, that's Instance A. Instance B only discovered Instance A on 2023-10-31. Instance A will only pull/receive content published after it discovered Instance A (or account).
Instance C only found your Instance A on 2023-11-07. Instance C will only pull/receive content published after it discovered Instance A.
Note: I'm oversimplifying.
@SirTapTap Ahh. Yes, that's normal. Every post is a post in that blog's “instance”.
You then can follow it. And when you publish a new post, you should see it.
For the URL, I can't remember much about it since that last time I used #WordPress was in 2020; I migrated to #Hugo / #GoHugo late 2020.
But what I can remember, the plugin at that time will create a new post with your WP “summary” as the post content, then a link to back to your website for the full article. Something like a summary-only Atom / RSS feed.
To find the #ActivityPub link, I right-click on the date/time of the post it created and figured out how it creates the URLs.
@youronlyone hmmm... Word presses plugin for fediverse seems to create the posts immediately before I can federate anything. Not sure what if anything I can do about that. I don't really have urls for the posts either, not sure if it's a bug but since the instance is my website, trying to browse the instance just shows my front page
