   I've been exploring other Fediverse projects. What I want to get a handle on is compatibility across services. In this thread, I'll be comparing WordPress with ActivityPub plugin as a feed into Mastodon. In another, I'll be showing Mastodon posts (my own boosts) in HubZilla.

   Upshot: What I found (so far, anyway), is that in both cases essential formatting is lost.

   You can find that prior thread here:

     A couple days ago Fedi.Tips (who runs a great service!) wrote a post about WordPress ActivityPub compatibility, with Mastodon here:

     https://mstdn.social/@feditips/109858971507720937

     I disagreed with that. And a user there helpfully chimed in with his own use of WordPress to feed into his Mastodon account. In this case, it's a Podcaster with blog, and he uses Mastodon to promote the Podcast. Fine.

     But if you dig into his feed, and compare WordPress entries to their actual posts, you see the formatting lost.

     @ParanoidFactoid this is an issue with Mastodon. We do not strip anything from the HTML of the blog-post.

     Here is a list what Mastodon supports and what not: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#sanitization

     @pfefferle I understand that. Is there ongoing work to resolve this?

     @ParanoidFactoid I have no idea to be honest. I know that mastodon works on improving the handling of different Activity-Types. Maybe there will be an improvement for "Articles" soon.
