* Improve JS widgets
* A better default content handling based on the Object Type
* You can now add/remove the capability to use ActivityPub for each User

@atomicpoet Sure, but where/how? I see the new "capability" at the bottom of each user profile, but it can't be edited.
Does it mean, I need to disable "enable authors" first, allowing the "blog" option only?

@cybeardjm @atomicpoet no, it is on the users admin page (wp-admin/users.php). Select the users you enable or disable for ActivityPub, select the action you want in the dropdown and press submit.

Well, that's not how I thought of it...
The 1st place I looked was the AP main options, as it's where you select "all authors", or not.
Then, individual users' profiles, as that's where many options are set.
There are so few options to set via the users admin page, that it's not a natural place to look for specific instructions pertaining to a transverse use...

the users admin page allows access mainly, and you could have done a specific dropdown, visible, like "change role to"... Hidden like it is, nobody will ever check without prior knowledge

Yep, that would help. But it all depends where the link points to... If it's the users page admin with no further indication, am not sure people will have the reflex to check the "bulk action" dropdown.

I am probably too stupid and this is already possible. But how can NOT post certain articles?

@antiaall3s You mean that whether publishing via ActivityPub is not enough covered by coupling it to the visibility of the post? Concrete examples of use cases you have in mind would help a lot. Could you find time and elaborate more? That would be great! Thank you!

I've got this installed and like the publishing to the fediverse. Is there a straightforward way to include replies as comments on WordPress if I'm using the Disqus plugin to manage those?

@ghostsignsThis is a very special case, so there is no solution that does not require coding, sorry.

OK, thanks, depending on its complexity, my designers may be able to code something. Do you have documentation or any guidance on where/how they'd need to tinker?

@ghostsigns we save the comments from the fediverse as classic WordPress comments with a comment-meta “protocol” => “activitypub”.

Whoa! This is a game changer! It potentially turns #WordPress into an alternate #PeerTube / #Pixelfed / #Castopod #Fediverse instance!

I need to test this out today!

hey, thanks for the plugin, it's super great.

I have a quick question that I hope you could help me clarify: if the fediverse person deletes their fedi reply, will the replicated comment in my wordpress get deleted automatically? will i instead get a notification so i can do it manually? or will I never know?

i'd like to ensure i respect right to be forgotten.

@xurxodiz It should be deleted! If you experience something else, please let me know, because you found a bug then!

Thank you! I haven't actually enabled [federated] comments yet on my blog as I was afraid they'd get out of sync, I wanted to be sure of the consequences first 😊
