Wordpress and ActivityPub


!Friendica Support
I would like to promote the Fediverse to a friend of mine. He has a WordPress and many posts.
What combination for a good work together with the Fediverse would you recommend for an easy use (by experience if possible) ?

Using :
1. Connect from friendica to a Wordpress?
https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons/tree/develop/wppost and
2. Use a Wordpress addon and directly feed the fediverse (but depend on follower)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub
3. Use a Wordpress addon and post to friendica
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cross-post-to-friendika/
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/cross-post-to-friendika/

  • Subscribe to the Wordpress-RSS via Friendica as "remote self" and propagate the posts via Friendica, but with a link to the WP-post.

How does it work with already available Posts on Wordpress?
in reply to Michel

@Michel It works well but you have to keep in mind three very important issues:

1 - to follow a properly configured wordpress site with an Activity pub plugin, you need to follow the user account of the author who writes the posts in WordPress. Of course if several users write on that post you have to follow EACH of them. Otherwise, i.e. if you try to follow the WHOLE wordpress site, despite Friendica being able to "understand" that that site is compatible with activitypub, Friendica will ONLY follow the rss feed of that site and NOT its "side" activitypub!
2 - keep in mind that the wordpress activitypub plugin has some limitations: for example, up until a few months ago, it staticized user responses and therefore a user who had written a wrong OR embarrassing message would never again be able to delete that message from blog comments ... moreover, the plugin also published as a comment any private messages that a user could send believing that his interlocutor is not a Wordpress site, but a real user
3 - in activitypub, the boost is not a duplication of the message, but only a resharing: this means that if I follow a user, by activating the notification every time that user publishes a post, I might not see the notification relating to a share but only the notification about a message posted by that user..

Conversely, resharing as "I remote" an RSS Feed is actually a new message. Of course whoever replies to that message will only interact with you and not with the blog author.

Thanks for the feedback @Signor Amministratore. I have some RSS feeds but did not look behind that case. It's interesting. May something you should copy to the Friendica Wiki

What about the three cases in my starting post. Any feedback to them? At moment, my favorite is Nr. 2.

@Michel The option that maximizes visibility, usability and integration is undoubtedly the no. 2.

In that case, if you have a Friendica account and federate your wordpress with the plug-in developed by @Matthias Pfefferle , you can try the following actions:

1) enter the address of the author of the federated wordpress blog (in the image I used the wordpress account of @Matthias Pfefferle who is the developer of the plugin)
2) as soon as you have followed it, you can go to the profile tab and enter the "contact settings" menu
3) in the "contact settings" menu you can select the automatic reshare of his posts: every time the author publishes a new post, your friendica profile will re-share it!


Like this:
A) your blog will be "federated"
B) you will receive updates from Friendica, you will be able to re-share automatically and, above all, thanks to Friendica, you will be able to receive a notification every time someone replies to the post you have shared
C) you won't need to continuously access wordpress to monitor the situation, because you will have everything under control from Friendica.

Be careful though, because not everything always works as it should... 😅
