Gregory's Server@Stefan_S_from_H @atomicpoet @fediversenews I think the direction is akin to WP adopting RSS way back. The point isn't to twist the spec; it is to join the broader ecosystem.

 @Stefan_S_from_H @kraft @atomicpoet I think there is no either/or, I tried to be as generic as possible, but to also support the mastodon (and any other) way. It costed me a lot of time, to reverse-engineer the differences, back in the days, because of the missing docs ;) @pfefferle @Stefan_S_from_H @atomicpoet the one thing I want to dig into when I have some spare cycles is posting a photoblog post on WP doesn't display as media on Mastodon. I haven't looked at all the things so no idea if it is a problem with my setting, the plugin, something else, etc. @kraft @Stefan_S_from_H @atomicpoet what do you mean by "media on Mastodon". the images won't be displayed? Here's an example. The post has a title and a single image as the content. I also made the image the post's featured image. Post format is Image. I'd want it to display similar to how a Pixelfed post would on Mastodon (to say I figure it is something in the spec that is supported but that's an assumption) @kraft I see! It should look the same, there are some times issues, with how you add the image. I am currently looking for post_thumbnails and attachments. I think I have to rewrite the code to parse the content for images (trying to ignore icons and emojis). You can debug the activity-object by adding `/activitypub` to the end of a post URL: @kraft to have it properly federated as "media" post, you have to check the attachments. it might have been an issue, that you had it as an image first (not an attachment) and changed it to a featured image afterwards and the update activity was not sent properly (have to check that!) @pfefferle For that site, I usually post via the mobile app, so it wouldn't shock me if something to do with the meta updating after the post itself. Thanks for the pointers. Off work this week for the kids break so hoping to have some hacking time. If I discover anything, I'll post an issue/PR. @kraft that would be awesome! But be aware that it was a spare time project for quite a long time, there might be some parts that have to be refactored for sure 😂 @pfefferle hell, look at most of my code. Even my paid work probably needs refactoring. |
@kraft @atomicpoet #ActivityPub has more room for interpretation than #rss.
There will be differences, even if unintended.
#Mastodon is using "like" as a favorite, ignoring "dislike", and "summary" as a content warning.
Is #WordPress going into the direction of universal #Fediverse or using the Mastodon interpretation of ActivityPub?
This is worse than Outlook for email and news.
