@pfefferle I believe the "reply" link on comments is missing after a recent update to the ActivityPub plugin. I can write an issue if you think that could be true?
Could it be related to my author not being active for ActivityPub? Also, why would the default WordPress reply link disappear (instead of just the federated reply link)?
Matthias Pfefferle
@cdevroe the "reply" link is only shown on "local" comments. there is no possibility to answer to federated comments using the local comment form (except you are a user of the blog).
the idea behind that is, that we do not want to defragmant conversations. if a local thread on a comment from the fediverse is possible, the original author of the comment will never see the replies and can't be part of that.
Colin Devroe
@pfefferle I can confirm that is the case... If I open my blog in an incognito window, I see the “Reply on the Fediverse" link... but I do not see WordPress' default "reply” link. Unsure why.
Colin Devroe
@pfefferle That makes total sense. Thank you!
So, is there a way to restore the “reply on the fediverse" link for my user despite having ActivityPub turned off for my author? (I know, I'm a huge pain!)
Matthias Pfefferle
@cdevroe ah, I think I see your issue. So you do not see the reply/reply on the fedivers, because of the blog-user/disabled local user thing?!?
Colin Devroe
@pfefferle That is my guess. I'm like your worst nightmare!

@george this also works with the WordPress plugin, but @cdevroe has a very special setup ^^

@cdevroe @pfefferle In the past I've used https://brid.gy to turn ActivityPub replies into WordPress comments
Matthias Pfefferle
@cdevroe I wouldn't go that far, but definitely challenging!!
😅
Matthias Pfefferle
@cdevroe but i'm not innocent of the whole situation... after all, I built the feature 🫣
Colin Devroe
@pfefferle I like to keep you on your toes!
Colin Devroe
@pfefferle For now, I could enable ActivityPub for my author only when I'm creating comments. 😅

@cdevroe 🫶
Matthias Pfefferle
@cdevroe that sounds like a really straight forward plan 😂

@vetehinen @cdevroe @george it works the same way as mastodon... it sends new posts to your followers and collects and sends comments to your posts.
this can be done for every platform... but there has to be someone to build it 😉

@george@a2mi.social @cdevroe@mastodon.social @pfefferle@mastodon.social how does that work, could it be done for comments on other CMS platforms too?
