It’s funny: #WordPress powers about 40% of the internet but in the #fediverse it is still the underdog ️

@pfefferle Let's have another look at the numbers in 20 years...

@pfefferle Longing to have it up and running too! Migration is so damn close, now. I think many people do not even know what #fediverse is and why we all should join.

@pfefferle I tried federating my wp.com blog but it barfed my very long posts on the timeline, and there was no way to customize how long the extract would be. The wp.com federation needs a lot more finetuning and I don't have the money to pay 25€/month for a personal blog.

@girlinblack good point! Thanks for your feedback!

@pfefferle Honestly, 80%+ of my problems with the federation as it appears in wp.com would be solved if the plugin respected the "read more" element in wordpress and replaced the rest of the post with a link. It's fine with shorter posts, but it does not work for my particular use case.

@pfefferle Should #WordPress should consider making #ActivityPub a core feature‽ (similar to what #WriteFreely & #MicroBlog have done)

@darnell @pfefferle Completely agree... #ActivityPub active by default, with explanation of what it is, and then the blogger decides if keeping it or not. But, there's a but: consider woocommerce or whatever site relying on #WordPress for content management only. Members-only contents. For those it would be a trouble, unless ActivityPub acquires the ability to choose what to stream and what not.

@pfefferle @girlinblack exactly the reason I stopped federating my WordPressDotCom blog.
Most annoying was realizing that images didn't appear where they should in the federated post, but image captions did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@girlinblack @pfefferle
Yes! This would be the killer feature for me. Masto in particular is bad at reading long-form posts and WP's auto excerpt isn't very good, but if we federated up to the Read More cut that would do exactly what most of us want. -

@silvermoon82 @girlinblack I also implemented a more intelligent mechanism, that tries to detect the best matching object type and adds the excerpt as summary to the ActivityPub object for longer articles. Mastodon then shows this instead of the full post.
...but we have not yet set this the default for wp.com
But: I hear you!

@wpcommaven @girlinblack but this is not really a WordPress problem or is it? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29747

@pfefferle knowing the origin of the issue hopefully will help to get it resolved. And thank you for all your hard work on this. ️
Regardless, until there is more granular control over how federated blog posts appear here, I've removed my WPcom site connection for now.
