@julian I knew vaguely of the NodeBB AP implementation, thanks for the reminder 🙂 And the follow issue was easily fixed! @morph

@morph @julian They haven't federated my edit to the post, though. Now I will always be remembered as the guy who can't tell "to" from "too" 🤣

@morph I hadn't even seen the forum post version until you mentioned it. Below my toot it says "[#]activitypub shared this topic about _ hours ago", so I suppose it is in fact an automated, hashtag based aggregation? @julian

@morph Re: magic sauce — I think it's as simple as me using the ActivityPub hashtag in the original mastodon post? I can't say for certain, just a guess.

Or maybe @julian commenting pulled in the thread? Federation, guys. It's weird and wonderful.

@morph TBF most of the WP themes are bloated frameworks anyway. @julian

@morph @julian My first reaction is that Hubzilla is more slanted toward the federation part than the blog and site building focus of WP, but actually — that's not a drawback. Yeah, I'll have to give it a try.

@julian Could be. How far along is their fediverse implementation?

Also, do you have experience migrating large-ish sites from one to the other? Because I'm involved with one group blog that would need to have 15 years or so worth of posts and podcast series moved from an ancient WP install...

@zygmyd While I agree about sticking to the basics when it comes to making a small, new website with no federating features — I'm co-admin'ing a 15 years old site with 2,500 posts, 3,300 comments, 4,500 images, and 260 podcast episodes.

And, as I put in my original post, federation capabilities preferred. I think the .txt approach comes up short for this case.
