We’re excited to announce that the ActivityPub for WordPress team will be hosting open office hours during the first week of December! Whether you’re just getting started with ActivityPub, running into setup issues, or want to chat about where the plugin is heading, we’d love to see you there.
What Are Office Hours?
Think of office hours as an open door to hang out with @pfefferle and @obenland. Drop in anytime during the scheduled sessions to get hands-on help with plugin installation and setup, troubleshoot any issues you’re experiencing, or share your ideas for new features and improvements. You can also discuss the roadmap and what’s coming next, ask questions about ActivityPub, the fediverse, or how it all works, and connect with the community to see what others are building.
No agenda, no registration required—just show up when you can and let’s talk ActivityPub!
Schedule: December 1-5, 2025
We’re offering multiple sessions throughout the week to accommodate different time zones. Join whichever works best for you!

pfefferle@mastodon.social absolutely love the idea of doing office hours. NodeBB should do that too!
If I don't use WordPress can I come just to heckle you two 😂

@julian you have to! ☺️

@activitypub.blog I was getting AI vibes from the image, seems like I was most likely correct.
Have you considered ... you know... paying an artist to make an image like this instead of using ai?
.. also adding alt text to your images would be nice -

@benpate @maikel IMO, the "shipping stuff is hard", while true, isn't the issue. If you had created Emissary 8 years ago and stopped updating it after the first release (even with massive user feedback about UX and technical issues), your project would either be dead or massively forked (if there was enough interest). Even if you had a small release to fix a few serious bugs after eight years, that wouldn't be sufficient. If it weren't for Mastodon, AP would effectively be a dead protocol.
-
@maikel@vmst.io not surprising in the slightest considering ChatGPT is trained on public discourse, and most AP development discussions involve how much Mastodon fails at x y and z. Being the big fish means everybody takes pot shots at you.
So it's just a reflection of the training data. Us.
@benpate@mastodon.social you're just feeding the AI machine! 😱

@mat talk of purity can only make all other platforms connect better among themselves. Yet every time someone implements Activity Pub the first burden they find is "ooops, this gives an error from Mastodon side".
Standards exist for this very reason.
I agree with you with meeting in the middle, but Msatodon has been up since 2016, Activity Pub since 2018, we're on 2026. Mastodon migrated in late 2017 early 2018 before the spec was even fully ratified. It's been more than 8 years.
If at-the-very-least it didn't have the "huge undocumented behaviours", it wouldn't be stalling all other AP implementers.
-
@benpate @maikel That doesn't sound right. Mastodon came first, ActivityPub came later. Surely that's enough of an explanation? AP was a retro-fit to an existing social media site. Of course it was a bodge job.
To me, that's the true purpose of AP. It works best for connecting existing communities. We should reject the idea of tearing apart and rebuilding what exists today. Instead we should grow the network by meeting people where they are. Talk of "purity" can only be destructive.
-
@maikel I also wish Mastodon followed the specs closer.
At the risk of sounding like an apologist, real-world constraints and deadlines were probably a factor. Shipping stuff is *hard* and there are always difficult tradeoffs to be made.
C2S API is a good example. They NEEDED a mobile client, but the standard wasn’t enough.
However we got here, it’s on the standards community to build a spec that will work in the real world, then make incentives for the market leader to follow.
-
JESUS when even the stochastic parrot throws shade at Msatodon implementation of Activity Pub.
I'm honestly starting to wonder what is the point of people putting years in creating a standard if the main platform using such standard is spitting on it.
