We just released version 1.3.0 of the #ActivityPub plugin for #WordPress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
The WordPress.com release is in preparation!
Main new feature: Threaded Comments 😍
Here is a nice example: https://notiz.blog/2023/12/04/sidebar/#comments
Thanks to everyone who was involved!

@mike latest tomorrow I would say!
Mike Taylor 🦕
@pfefferle Thank you, this is great news!
Any idea when this is likely to come to wordpress.com-hosted blogs?
Matthias Pfefferle
@Weltenkreuzer die follower gibt es schon seit einer der ersten versionen. Schau einfach mal unter "/wp-admin/users.php?page=activitypub-followers-list"
boosts und likes werden noch nicht unterstützt. da hatte ich bisher noch keine clevere idee, wie ich die speichern und anzeigen kann...
Nils Müller
@pfefferle Uuh, darauf habe ich gewartet. Gibt es im Backend mittlerweile eigentlich auch eine Ansicht, wer dem Blog im Fediversum "folgt" und von Reaktionen sowie "Boosts"?
Paranoid Factoid
@pfefferle Will it become possible to pass text formatting from a WP post to a Mastodon feed?
Matthias Pfefferle
@ParanoidFactoid can you explain that a bit?
Paranoid Factoid
@pfefferle Yes.
If I subscribe from Mastodon to a blog hosted on WP, I get a plain text rendition of the blog entry in my feed. All formatting is lost.
Matthias Pfefferle
@ParanoidFactoid do you have an example link?

@pfefferle Here's a comparison with screenshots I did a while back:

@pfefferle Looks interesting!
naturzukunft
@pfefferle nice! thank! is it still "only" for one page blogs or are more complex wp's supported?
Matthias Pfefferle
@naturzukunft can you explain what you mean with "one page blog"?
Matthias Pfefferle
@alan good point, this is still one of the most requested feature. thanks for bringing it on the table!
in the meantime you could use the blog as user and deactivate single-users completely!
Alan Langford
@pfefferle I hate to be the "that's nice but" guy... but using a slug of the user's name instead of the username would be helpful. It's common to use randomized usernames these days. Also I'm afraid I can't turn it on until there's a filter by category. My WP plugin foo isn't the best but I'll take a look at the category bit, at least.
Dalton Alexandre
@pfefferle that’s neat
naturzukunft
@pfefferle unfavorably no, because I have little to no knowledge of Wordpress. We wanted to activate your plugin for https://www.ökoligenta.de/blog42/ a long time ago, but for some reason it didn't work. I remember that it only worked if WP had no other pages and a blog directly on "root".
Matthias Pfefferle
@naturzukunft it has nothing to do with pages, but some spec require some config for root. It is possible to do that by hand, there is a section in the plugins faq.
Matthias Pfefferle
@luca @mau @oblomov @matz sadly not, but if you reply on the fediverse it will be properly sent to your blog.
babysteps :)
this was the first step in the direction you described.
Luca Sironi
@pfefferle does this mean that if I comment from the fediverse, the blogger can reply me directly from the blog (with me receiving the answer on the fediverse) ?
Matthias Pfefferle
@mike it took us one more day, but it is now live!
Mike Taylor 🦕
@pfefferle Oh, that's very welcome news!
Mike Smith
I'll totally understand if this isn't your department, but any idea on when the feature might be available on wordpress.com for blogs not on the Business Plan?
Matthias Pfefferle
@selfawarepatterns @mike what feature? ActivityPub?
ActivityPub is available to all plans on WordPress.com. Simply go to the settings on "Discussion" and activate it.
Matthias Pfefferle
@selfawarepatterns @mike Here are some more details:
Mike Smith
Thanks, but I was asking about Threaded Comments, which those resources predate.
I actually turned on the overall Fediverse feature (which I assume is your plugin under the covers) back on Oct 11. Love the functionality! But the limited comment functionality remains a pain point.
Matthias Pfefferle
@selfawarepatterns @mike threaded comments (answers to answers on the fediverse) are love on WordPress.com now. Full federated comments (federate also comments written on WordPress) is the next step.
Matthias Pfefferle
@selfawarepatterns @mike We have to make some fundamental changes, because WordPress handles comments differently than Mastodon et al. and we have to think about how to handle comments that are made on the blog but from visitors. We can not simply send them to mastodon, because they have no profile and of GDPR reasons.
But if this is done, it will be also possible to handle profile changes better and to simplify the integration of third party plugins.
Matthias Pfefferle
@mike @selfawarepatterns I hope that was not meant ironically 🤞
😉
Mike Taylor 🦕
@pfefferle @selfawarepatterns This is so good! And it's happening so fast!
Mike Smith
Thanks for the explanation! That makes total sense. Really appreciate your efforts, and being willing to answer questions about it.
Matthias Pfefferle
@mike @selfawarepatterns this is thanks to #Automattic and a lot of help from inside and outside the company ❤️
Mike Taylor 🦕
@pfefferle @selfawarepatterns No, not at all — I am genuinely surprised, borderline shocked, that this code is not only being written but actually deployed with such alacrity.
naturzukunft
@pfefferle thanks!
