@davew we just released our Fediverse/ActivityPub to RSS bridge. If you are in WordPress.com and follow someone on the #fediverse we add their RSS feed to the WordPress.com Reader.
@pfefferle @davew This is awesome! I am excited about this! For now, is this web only or do you have plans to export this to the #WordPress app‽ Also, if someone runs multiple blogs, will all of their follows appear in the reader‽

thanks @darnell 😊
There are no plans for the WordPress App yet. But this is mainly because this is a different team with a different timeline.
Regarding the Reader: Yes, all feeds of all blogs will end up in the reader.
-
Yes, I know about that, not sure what your new feature does, is it only for connecting with WP’s feed reader?

I like it, but will not use it. This will trigger the German ANTI wp.com / Automattic front.
What can you tell them, not deleting the plug-in because of possible connections to JetPack and WordPress.com.
And again, thank you for your great work.

@davew yes, for now. but it can be generalized to be able to connect any kind of feed reader.

@NickBohle @darnell there is no need to be triggered in any way, because the ActivityPub plugin will not force you to install Jetpack nor will make any connections itself.
This is a simple: If you are on DotCom or if you already use Jetpack, you can use this feature, otherwise you have to wait until we have the built in reader ready :)

well, it does not trigger me, but does the plug-in send requests to jetpack/wp.com to check if the user is known? and if, what does Automattic do with the requests?
Sorry for asking, but I'm afraid that the plug-in might be cancelled due to lack of transparency.

@NickBohle @darnell The ActivityPub plugin simply checks if Jetpack is installed on your blog. If not, it will do nothing ☺️
No lookups, no pings, just a local check for another plugin.

@darnell @pfefferle @davew No need to export it to the Jetpack app, it works the same there!

i'm really confused, but that's nothing new. ;-)
i just figured since i was cc'd on the announcement and it pertained to RSS that there would be a feed in there somewhere i could brag about.
I do most of my feed reading in FeedLand, of course.

@pfefferle how about the other way around, to follow WordPress blogs from the #fediverse ?

@pfefferle do you have a link to a guide about enabling that from a WordPress.com hosted blog ?

@davew @strk : @pfefferle and team have been doing nothing but fantastic work on this. I'm proud and ecstatic to count him as a coworker. Kudos [again], Matthias++.

Well that was fun, can't believe Pixelfed has over 1M people in our community!
Looking forward to building bridges for the next million or two people to join the #fediverse
We have some important work to do this year!

Nobody speaks for "The Fediverse."
I keep seeing posts declaring what The Fediverse believes, wants, or demands, often with ALL CAPS and a wall of #hashtags. It often slides into outright gatekeeping.
The fediverse is decentralized by design. Its opinions are too.

@julian Cool!

@evan@cosocial.ca headless NodeBB? Hahahah I love it. We're already set up to go headless with minimal work.

@evan @julian
I was just ranting about what I see going on. There are some really promising user facing integrations between separate projects happening on the other side and it pains me to see it cause I know we can also have that here but there are some serious things lacking here and I desperately want to see more movement in exciting directions. The work @silverpill has been doing around portability & DID stuff I have been pointing out to people repeatedly cause its so important.
-
@julian Maybe we should try to implement a forum using just the API.
-
@evan@cosocial.ca I agree, and hopefully I'll have some bandwidth in the coming months to put a PoC together for using the social API!

End of the day I think AP is on more structurally sound software foundations. There's absolutely merit in re-using boring tech (HTTP, JSON, et al.) to make something new and interesting. ATProto makes my spidey sense tingle, in a code smell sort of way. Like Angular did, back in the day.
That's why I'm bullish on AP.
