Much as I like the concept behind the #ActivityPub plugin for #WordPress, it's not doing a good job.

And it comes down to tagging.

In order to federate your tags you either need to include them high up in the content (for excerpts) or you need to federate the entire post.

Whole-post federation consumes other people's resources and I've seen some pushback against that. So I opted for the excerpts.

But with the excerpts I'm limited to how many characters are federated. Injecting tags into the top portion of the posts requires characters. And there are other problems, because the kinds of tags people use on the fediverse aren't necessarily the kinds of tags one uses on a blog.

I'd like to see the plugin enhanced so that it can allow the user/author to add "fediverse tags" that are appended to the end of either the whole post or excerpt, but which do not create new tag archives on the blog itself.

@pfefferle would that be possible?
