Great to see WordPress.com’s support for ActivityPub. Following WordPress blogs from Micro.blog looks good, although @-mentioning Micro.blog from within WordPress isn’t working for me. I’ve been testing and reviewing the code, will make any tweaks I can so everything is compatible.
@manton I set up a test blog at test.danielmrose.com with the handle: @dan@test.danielmrose.com and it I can’t follow that here in micro.blog, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
@manton yeah, turns out siteground my host doesn't support webfinger on shared server space, oh well. who needs worpress anyway when we have micro.blog and write.as, am i right? =)
@danielmrose Right! 🙂 That's too bad about the shared server. That might end up being a common problem.
@manton indeed. This just makes me more intrigued about moving everything to micro. I really want to consolidate. So many interesting things out here in the fediverse.
@manton Isn't Wordpress.com different from Wordpress.org? I believe the latter is rolling your own, while the former is managed by Automatic, which should work as advertised.
@renevanbelzen That's right, but I believe both use the same underlying code for handling ActivityPub. There's a slightly different interface on top.
@manton But the provisions on the Wordpress.com server might be optimized for federated posts and comments. On some random brand name shared server you never know what you'll get, other than a constant barrage of (unmanaged) server hacking attempts, of course.
