Well this is pretty great, I hope it gets mass adoption across WordPress sites
It doesn’t explicitly list Lemmy compatibility, but it should be fine given it works with Mastodon, right?
Looking at the Mastodon and Lemmy documentations, yes it should work.
Page,Article,Note,VideoandEventactivities.Page,Article,Note,Video,Event,Image,AudioandQuestionactivities.As you can see there’s a large overlap between the two, so I say it’s likely that it will work. I could bring this even further by having a look at the plugin’s code but unfortunately I’m alergic to both PHP and SVN and wordpress uses both.
The plugin is maintained on GitHub, but yeah it’s still a lot of PHP
Oh thanks for that. Looking at the plugin’s wordpress page I ended up on a wordpress SVN page and thought I had to browse that. My allergy is already much better, I might have a look after all.
Based on this it looks like the user can choose article or note: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/blob/163d9e931c407463bf254ce55bd45f400468982c/templates/settings.php#L158
what else could it possibly be coded in while maintaining compatibility with wordpress, a php application, and its modest server requirements?
You’d think so, but Lemmy barely manages to federate with kbin at the best of times, so it’s not really a guarantee.
