@mschfr @tchambers I don’t think it should be compared to microblogging. It’s not (just) about publishing products. It’s more like events, where you can RSVP or subscribe using your fediverse account of choice.

The bigger vision for products would be to let people subscribe to a shop, maybe search its offerings — but most importantly, be able to purchase products using their preferred federated account!

@michael_martinez @michael ok, that is an excuse I have to accept 😊

🔥 Pretty cool. The official WordPress Plugin has seen over 6,000 active installs by websites.

I THINK that once they cross 10K+ they may qualify to be a "featured plugin" and get key placement on the WP site. Also impressive that they now support 27 (!) languages...

👉 Congrats @pfefferle @mattwiebe @obenland @nuriapenya

@michael_martinez @michael FYI: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/pull/1730

Btw. It is easier to track issues like that on GitHub and/or WordPress.org... I might miss direct pings on the fediverse or they might get lost when I am on vacation or AFK...

@michael_martinez @michael how did you get shortcodes into the excerpt 😳

@robin sure, I think it's always easier to track issues like that on GitHub. Otherwise I might forget them 😉

(sorry for the late reply btw.)

@NickBohle @tchambers @obenland (By the way, no question is a stupid question 🙂 )

@NickBohle @tchambers @obenland the problem is, that fedidb does not (yet) support update pings. the ping we currently have is "only" to tell fedidb that there is a new instance.

@tchambers @obenland @NickBohle oh I have not seen the jetpack part, we actually ping fedidb from WordPress.com (if that was not clear in my last answer)... 😉

@feb du hast eins vergessen https://symbol.fediverse.info/en

@tchambers @obenland @NickBohle we actually do that for WordPress.com installations (now that I write that: we have to check if the ping still works after the full rewrite and domain change of fedidb), but this is a one time ping, to simply "register" the instance.

@obenland @NickBohle @tchambers FediDB is pull by default, so it should not matter if a site has much traffic or not. That is why I think the "Monthly Active Users" is as inacurate as the installation number, because the data source is the same...

@michael_martinez @michael it should remove all shortcodes by default. can you share your settings? do you use a custom template?

@kaffeeringe nicht wirklich... das problem wird halt mit wachsender anzahl an followern größer...
nutzt du caching?

@chris @chrisblog the problem here is, that we would need to check every URL you reference, if it is an ActivityPub enabled URL or not...

@chris @chrisblog good question! will see what I can do!

@chris ...or search for the URL on mastodon :)

@chris you can try to simply update the post.

@ethicalrevolution @mirlo @mixtape @keefmarshall the post you mentioned in the bug report has the image as an attachment and mastodon seems to skip the OGP embed if a post has attachments.

@nicol @dajb what kind of theme do you use? classic or with full site editing support?
