Since November of 2023 I’ve attempted to use my WordPress based site as my window to the Fediverse. I’m using a combo of these plugins: Friends, Enable Mastodon Apps, and ActivityPub. While this more or less works as it should there are still some rough spots to iron out and it’s far from ideal. Granted, most of my interaction is via Mastodon and that is but a portion of the Fediverse but there are various things I cannot do even if accessing my site via Mastodon apps. Sharing links externally is cumbersome, I would need to leave the app I was using and go to my Friends page on the web, find the link, click it, then share it. I cannot follow hashtags (yet). Following new accounts needs to be done via the web interface and doesn’t work within apps. I have no intention of decoupling my site from the Fediverse but I will return to my Mastodon instance (follow me! @vaughnhannon@m.socialyeti.club ) for regular posting and consuming of all the goodness. #mastodon #wordpress #activitypub #fediverse
