Can't deny being made up that three months after 1st trying to build a #WordPress site using @pfefferle's #ActivityPub plugin - yesterday it finally clicked, with two posts getting lots of boosts, stars & comments:

Am still far from perfecting the integration, but this bar at the bottom is lovely… as is discovering a bunch of servers using different forks/UIs to regular Masto that I've not seen before. Curiously still only one subscriber tho.

"In our testing, we followed a variety of different actors from across the Fediverse, including our ActivityPub-enabled WordPress site. Happily, our articles showed up in the Inbox without a hitch, and clicking on one opened up a clean reader view. This all happens without navigating away from your position in the Inbox or the Timeline."

The return of the blogosphere! This time with no dependence on Goggle.

@strypey lamp is a bit of cheat as it bundles lots of things together 😄 but yeah, despite at least a decade of hyperventilation and shinny new things, the LAMP stack still sets the benchmark for how to change the world. Where to even start: #wordpress, #nextcloud, #mediawiki, #moodle etc. And php, much maligned early on still goes strong in projects like #laravel and friends.

Another highlight from 5.8.0:
You can now embed any Fediverse post in the WordPress editor—even if it doesn’t support oEmbed! When no oEmbed handler is available, we automatically fall back to our custom embed view.

Basically: if it’s on the Fediverse, you can embed it. ✨

#WordPress#ActivityPub#Fediverse

ActivityPub 5.8.0 for WordPress is out now! 🎉

This update includes two things I’ve been especially excited about: new email templates and user-specific notification settings.

Emails now have way more information—mentions and direct messages embed the full post, and the refreshed design looks more modern and polished. New follower emails come with a profile card to help you get a sense of who’s engaging with your content.
