   So I have some questions about the state of the #fediverse on #WordPress.

   Is it possible to migrate this account’s followers/following to my WordPress site (assuming I’m using it as an #activityPub source)

   Is it possible to actually follow people and get some kind of feed, interacting with that account with other users?

   I think the answer is still solidly “no” to both of those, but it would be good to get some context on how people are dealing with this today.

     @alexstandiford @cdevroe you can already interact with comments using the blog profile. It is simply not possible to follow others yet.

     I am also experimenting with auto boosting blog posts through a mastodon account https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-crossbooster

     @alexstandiford I’ll defer to @pfefferle but I think progress is being made on migrating followers. But I am unsure about the feed part... I'm curious too.

     I just installed the ActivityPub plugin on my site and I've been doing some experimenting. It is very exciting. A bit messy. And an interesting time. I'm really looking forward to seeing progress being made here and may try to contribute some.

     @cdevroe @pfefferle yes me too! My site has fully migrated all of my historical content on X and I’m working on importing Instagram. Been publishing micro content through it for years now, just haven’t actually installed ActivityPub to start using it.

     Wondering how effective it would be to use this account as a proxy, boosting content from my original site exclusively, and interacting with my feed with this account. Not ideal but still progress, I think.

     @pfefferle @cdevroe oh cool. How experimental is this? Is it in a state where I can try it out/report issues? Or is it something you’re in the midst of building/figuring out?

     @alexstandiford @cdevroe the crossbooster? I think I have to implement a retry but otherwise it should work!

     @pfefferle @alexstandiford I understand the purpose of the crossbooster but I think it would be unneeded if the WP-ActivityPub-powered accound became a "real" AP account w/ follow feed + migrations. Because then I wouldn't need an account on a Mastodon instance at all.

     @pfefferle Cool. Any chance to make the booster also support other platforms than just mastodon? I'm aware that's a lot of work for a minority of setups. But could help to increase app diversity.

     @morph theoretically it should work for every platform that supports the mastodon client api.
