Hey, is there anyone who uses the #ActivityPub #WordPress plugin? I'd just like to check how it handles a few things.
-
I use the activitypub plugin on my Something Blue website, sbblues.com.
To boost my posts into my gamerplus timeline I just search on [email protected]. I make two posts a week and usually at a busy time so I don't always just chance onto them.
I don't really know much about it. I don't use comments on the website. I would like to post a link to a mastodon comment thread so, boost it onto my timeline and the edit the post on Something Blue with the link to that thread. I guess.

@stefan I got a response from the first two, haven’t tried the third yet because I’m doing this on a phone between bands at a marching band competition 8-). Give me a bit.
-
@hairylarry Thank you, this is very helpful!
-
@SteveDuncan No rush at all! Really appreciate your help!
-
@stefan the last one got me page not found, assuming I copied and pasted right. What problem are you having?
-
@SteveDuncan Just trying to understand how the WordPress plugin handles these routes. It looks like the specific issue wasn't actually related to that though, rather some unexpected behavior with an username that uses a different domain than the Mastodon instance it runs on.
Think @ USER @ DOMAIN.com when it's really @ USER @ MASTODON . DOMAIN.com.
Either way, I presume that the first two URLs worked fine?

I tried to use it and it fucking sucks. Not very well documented.
I suspect that it needs some very particular settings in the nginx or apache config file and it doesn't tell us how to set it up. Maybe some php modules as well. -

The first one shows some code.
The second shows some code too, but says it's an error (I haven't enable different accounts for users, that could be why)
The third one doesn't work. 404 -

Looking at your instance it seems you found the answers you were looking for. Sorry to interrupt 🫡 -

Thank you so much!

@KuteboiCoder No worries, thank you for chiming in!
And sorry to hear about your experience. The plugin is still fairly new, so I'm sure it will get better and easier to use with time!
-
@stefan yes. However, I should be clear - I’m using the activity pub plugin on a self-hosted instance at SWDuncan.com, user swduncan, if you want to try it. I have another blog at recordingthoughts.com, same user on Wordpress.com, free tier. I’m not sure if activity pub is included at that level.

@[email protected] Me!!! I have it installed / running on 3 of my sites

@stefan I would rather expect the third string to lookup for a Mastodon API as it is served by the enable-mastodon-apps plugin. The activitypub plugin does not respond to this API call. So you get the "Record not found" error in the web browser.
-
@morph Yes, of course, that makes sense. Many of the non-Mastodon platforms do have at least some basic compatibility layer with Mastodon, so I was wondering if the same applies here.

@morph Honestly, if you look at the rest of this guide, trying to make a third party app that works with all the fediverse platforms is tough, it's all a bit messy.
Not sure if you know about the ActivityPub Client-to-Server API, I really wish this has been actually adopted.
ActivityPub Client-to-Server FAQ
Context: ActivityPub Client-to-Server (AP C2S) is probably the least understood part of ActivityPub and there is very few documentation and running code for it and ActivityPub is mostly underspecified. This FAQ might be…
