Notices by Jeremy (jdormit@mastodon.technology)

I wrote up some Opinions™ about iterating on the #ActivityPub protocol and how we can continue improving it without sacrificing compatibility or fracturing the network: https://jeremydormitzer.com/blog/activitypub-good-enough-for-jazz/. Comments welcome here or on the post.

#Pterotype version 1.2.6 released! This release adds the ability to set a custom Fediverse name, description, and icon separate from the WordPress site identity. Up next: custom Fediverse username (so that not all Pterotype sites are @blog@<site name>).

As always, the roadmap is publicly viewable at https://getpterotype.com/roadmap.

Released #Pterotype version 1.1.1! Sync blog posts and comments from your WordPress blog with Mastodon and let users comment on posts by replying to the Mastodon thread!

Pterotype is available in the WordPress plugin repository and I'd appreciate it if you signed up as a beta tester at https://getpterotype.com/beta

#ActivityPub #WordPress

Comment syncing between Mastodon and #Pterotype, in the works!

#ActivityPub #Fediverse

Current #Pterotype roadmap:

1. Iron out federation kinks - make sure posts are displayed properly, searchable from the Mastodon search bar, etc.
2. Make the Actor name configurable so not everyone's blog is called @blog 🤓
3. Write a blog post? Something about content creation and business and how to not be shitty internet citizen, which has been influencing how I think about Pterotype and ActivityPub
4. Onboard beta users and get feedback
5. Synchronize WordPress comments with Mastodon replies

#Pterotype federation is a go! https://mastodon.technology/web/statuses/100916459121693609

#ActivityPub ftw

I've settled on a name for my #ActivityPub #WordPress plugin - #Pterotype! It's an early precursor to the typewriter, which seemed appropriate for WordPress.

Honestly though, the main reason I chose it is now it can have a cute Pterodactyl logo. That will go nicely with Mastodon's prehistoric theme!

Now I just need to find someone who can draw a cute pterodactyl...

I've been thinking about an #ActivityPub implementation for #Wordpress. My idea supports:

- publishing blog posts and comments to ActivityPub-compliant servers, letting users follow/reply to/share/like these via other compliant services
- @-mentioning other ActivtyPub actors (e.g. Mastodon users) in posts and comments
- commenting on posts from Mastodon or other ActivityPub services

I've written up some technical notes at https://gist.github.com/jdormit/1049324b95e5096be20ee9ad1d749104. I'd appreciate feedback, so please comment there!

I'm thinking about building an #ActivityPub plugin for #Wordpress. Does anyone know if something like that already exists? Is anyone else interested in that?
