My misadventures with ActivityPub continues!

So, this morning I posted a blog post on DramaTea, my blog for CDramas and Kdramas.

In a weird twist, my older posts are now appearing in the Fediverse version of the DramaTea blog and my new post is not appearing šŸ˜‚ And even more mysteriously, my brid.gy integration which has never worked before started to work! Haha! Whatā€™s going on?

What can I say? The wordpress.com and Activitypub integration with the Fediverse is still a little rough around the edges.

Comments are also not reliably appearing either. Iā€™ve posted a query on WordPress.comā€™s support forums, and itā€™s so far crickets!

Looks like I am not moving away from brid.gy anytime soon. Hope it improves and the team doesnā€™t ignore the problem.

Letā€™s see if this post appears on @elizabethtai.com

Implemented liking/favoriting of #Mastodon posts via Bridgy Fed on my site! (Actually of any post on any site that #BridgyFed can discover an #ActivityPub endpoint to send likes to.)

Tested it by liking @evanp.me (@evan@cosocial.ca @evanpro)ā€™s replyĀ¹ confirming that he received a notification from my prior postĀ². I sent a #Webmention from my like postĀ³ to Bridgy Fed, and it #federated the like to Evanā€™s server, which subsequently showed up in the "favourites" list of Evanā€™s post:

Every step that connects heterogenous #socialWeb systems & protocols feels like progress.

I really enjoy the ideas behind #IndieWeb and want to actively plan on being a part of it and bringing my sites and work into the fold. Putting this here for accountability :)

In a weird twist, my older posts are now appearing in the Fediverse version of the DramaTea blog and my new post is not appearing šŸ˜‚

No matter how the other platforms sort out, I'm sticking around #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. The conversations here are unique and I've had some of my best gaming chats this year here. Also expanding into the #IndieWeb. Federation is a fantastic thing.

Decided to stop waiting for this to be "done" and just post it.

Bridgy Fed (#BridgyFed) recently added support for federating @-@-mentions to #Mastodon: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#mention

So hereā€™s a test:

Happy birthday @evanp.me (@evan@cosocial.ca @evanpro)!!!


Letā€™s see if Evan receives one or more notifications of these mentions, especially on cosocial, directly from my blog to his Mastodon account.

which is enough material on the subject to be worth a broader overall blog post on at-mentions, @-mentions, @-@-mentions, how to write them, how to send #Webmentions or #federate them, and perhaps how to recognize & send notifications for them.

Definitely liking how ActivityPub works with my two blogs. (They are at @elizabethtai.com@elizabethtai.com and @dramatea88.wordpress.com@dramatea88.wordpress.com However, there are a few limitations:

  • You canā€™t add followers to the Fediverse account
  • I do not know of a way to log into the Fediverse account of the blog through a Fediverse app
  • You canā€™t follow people from the account
  • If you reply from your blog it wonā€™t appear on the Fedi acc post thread and the commenter wonā€™t be able to see it
  • Not all comments will appear in the blog. Exactly why this happens is a mystery

The issue with the comments is definitely the most frustrating. From what I can see, you need to directly reply to the post itself for it to appear on the blog. Replies to that comment, however, will not appear. This is something to raise with the team, and I have raised a support ticket related to this issue. I have no idea whether theyā€™ll address it šŸ˜‰

Still, itā€™s a very good first step to integrate blogs into the Fediverse. I can imagine a future where people happily exist within this network of blogs and non-corporate social media, separate from the Googles and the Facebooks of the world.

Just published a new Core Intuition episode about ActivityPub support in WordPress.com and its impact on Micro.blog, plus a discussion of Humane and the potential for new AI-based devices.
