    More progress on the AP implementation on my site. I got HTTP signature verification on Follow activities working and started the groundwork to migrate from my current instance to my website. Some things I want to do before migrating: 1. Export my archive, I'm especially interested in preserving who I'm follows and bookmarks. 1. For bookmarks: Create a page on my site that links to the bookmarks. 1. For follows: Create an OPML file linking to their RSS feeds and add those feeds to my feed reader. One thing I will miss after I retire my instance is the timeline. I always discover interesting posts and people that way. My plan is to follow RSS feeds for tags that I'm interested in. I know it's not as good or spontaneous as the timeline but it's a way to stay engaged in the conversation. Also, my site effectively will work one-way for now. I don't have a way to receive replies or DMs, nor do I have a way of replying to people directly from my site. Maybe that's something I'll add later on but not a priority at the moment. My main priority at the moment is to maintain a presence in the Fediverse without having to maintain my own instance. I know technically I could just join someone else's instance, but I don't want to create yet another account nor become a maintenance burden for someone else. More importantly though, I want my website to be my digital hub, with protocols like ActivityPub, Nostr, and AT Protocol serving as spokes to reach different networks. My content and identity remain on my site, independent of any single platform. If any protocol or network disappears, my content and identity remain intact.

    Right on the heels of WordPress 6.9 we released a new version of the ActivityPub plugin, making quote comments visible in the Reactions block and bringing you new ways of customizing your author pages.Quotes Join the Reactions PartyWhen someone quotes your post on Mastodon or other Fediverse platforms, you’ll now see it right alongside your likes and reposts. Quotes get their own row in the Fediverse Reactions display, making it easy to see at a glance who’s building on your ideas and adding their own commentary.Behind the scenes, we improved how we’re detecting quotes. Different platforms have their own ways of handling quote posts, and not all of them speak the same language. The plugin now understands these variations better, so whether someone quotes you from Mastodon, Misskey, or elsewhere, it just works.This means your engagement stats tell a fuller story. A quote isn’t just a repost—it’s someone adding their voice to yours, and now WordPress can recognize and display that distinction.Show Off Your Fediverse IdentityIf you’ve set up extra fields on your Fediverse profile—things like your website, pronouns, location, or links to other accounts—you can now display them directly on your WordPress site with the new Extra Fields block.Drop it onto any page, post, or your author archive template, pick a style that fits your theme, and your profile details appear right where your visitors can see them. Choose from a clean table layout, a stacked list, or styled cards. You can also control how many fields to show and customize colors to match your site.ChangelogAddedAdd documentation guide for using ActivityPub blocks in classic themes with Block Template PartsAdded a new Fediverse Extra Fields block to display ActivityPub extra fields, featuring compact, stacked, and card layouts with flexible user selection options.Added support for quote comments, improving detection and handling of quoted replies and links in post interactions.Add notifications for boosts, likes, and new followers in Mastodon apps via the Enable Mastodon Apps pluginAdds support for turning tags, categories, and custom taxonomies into federated collections in the Reader view so you can browse and follow topics more seamlessly.Prevent email notifications for comments on ActivityPub custom post types.Send a Reject activity when a quote comment is deleted, revoking previous quote permissions and ensuring consistent inbox handling.Store and retrieve webfinger acct for remote actors to improve identification and reduce lookupsChangedImprove gallery and image block markup for ap_posts with better alt text and optimized layouts.Improve support for media attachments by handling Audio, Document, and Video object types in addition to Images.Maintain consistent return values in Create handler.Remove trailing hashtags from incoming posts to prevent duplication with taxonomy tags.Store comments and reactions from followed actors on reader posts, and keep them separate from your site’s comments in wp-admin.Update compatibility testing for PHP 8.5 and WordPress 6.9Use tag name instead of slug for hashtag display.FixedAlways includes id, first, and last links in collection responses, ensuring followers and following lists display correctly in Mastodon.Automatically approves reactions on ActivityPub posts in the Reader view for a smoother, more seamless interaction experience.Deliver public activities to followers only.Disable REST API endpoints for internal post types.False mention email notifications for users in CC field without actual mention tags.Fix “Filename too long” errors when downloading attachments from URLs with query parameters (e.g., Instagram CDN URLs).Fix make_clickable corrupting existing anchor tags in ActivityPub contentFix PHP 8.5 deprecation warnings for ReflectionProperty::setAccessible() and ReflectionMethod::setAccessible()Improved handling of unusual activity data to avoid errors when activities contain unexpected formats.Preserve original ActivityPub activity timestamps when creating posts and comments instead of using current time.Prevented duplicate email notifications when ActivityPub instances re-send Follow activities for already-following actors.Prevents unwanted comment types—like pingbacks, trackbacks, notes and custom system comments, from being federated, ensuring only real user comments are shared with the fediverse.Removed a redundant instruction from the custom post content settings to simplify the UI.Reply block now shows fallback link when oEmbed fails instead of empty div.Simplified reply links by removing special handling for federated comments, making replies work the same for all comments where replying is allowed.Undefined array key warning in Scheduler::async_batch when called without arguments.DownloadsWordPress.org: activitypub.7.7.0.zipGitHub: tag/7.7.0Thank You!As always, a huge thanks to everyone who contributed code, reported bugs, tested early builds, and shared ideas. Every bit of feedback helps make ActivityPub for WordPress better for the whole community.Version 7.7.0 is available now—update and let us know what you think!

    Experimental support for multiple users landed with Ktistec release v2.4.15. "Experimental" means that it works for me, but hasn't seen enough testing for me to call it "ready for production". With that said, it's unlikely you'll lose your data.There are lots of intentional design decisions that fit my vision for Ktistec but may surprise you. Here they are:Every user is an administrator. That doesn't mean users have access to each other's posts and data, but it does mean all users have access to the shared parts of the site—they can change the site description, for example—and they can add new users. So only add people you trust.If you want to add another user, create an account for them and give them their username and password.  There is no self-registration. There are no invitations.Beyond adding a user, there is no support for user management. You can't even boot a user from your site. Users can delete themselves, however.There is no support for content moderation. Only add people you trust.TL;DR Multi-user support in Ktistec is suitable for small teams, families (biological or chosen), and your personal avatars. There are better tools for online communities.Here's the full set of changes:AddedAdd support for multiple user accounts.FixedHide attachments behind the summary. (fixes #125)Mark actors as up after refreshing their profile.#ktistec #fediverse #activitypub #crystallang
