[Rose] What is ActivityPub?
#
Loqi ActivityPub is a decentralized social networking protocol (W3C Recommendation) briefly known as ActivityPump, based on pump.io and ActivityStreams https://indieweb.org/ActivityPub
#
[Rose] !tell shrysr There's an activitypub plugin for WordPress which will make your WP your own personal mastodon compatible instance https://indieweb.org/ActivityPub
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

shrysr [Rose]: The activitypub plugin seems to setup a separate profile? I was a little confused and ended up deleting my actual mastodon account (it was new). However I realised I could not login or reset password using the activitypub profile
#
shrysr So in essence - i would like to reply to a mastodon post on my WP site, and have it show up on the specified link
#
shrysr *specified link on mastodon.
#
shrysr [Rose]: Ahh. So, i followed my WP site profile via my usual mastodon account - and received a comment on WP. So it is working. NOw I need to figure out how I could reply to a specific post.

#
shrysr [Rose]: okay - i was able to syndicate to my mastodon account, from WP. However, it does not show itself as a reply on mastodon, nor is there any indication that the person has received some notification. I'm stuck in figuring out how to reply to a specific post.

shrysr GWG: I ended up being able to modify my h-card. but i had to run a php script to add links.
#

shrysr it was available as a gist ... let me see if i have the link
#
shrysr ah.. i forked it.. good. https://gist.github.com/shrysr/8f9453671fc1b5342cfc59bb9d9053ba
#
GWG Works
#
shrysr GWG: it does.. https://s.ragavan.co ... am i doing ok so far ?
#
GWG Only you can say
#
shrysr :( long way to go... but its functional. I would like to study and contribute to the plugins... and also plan to work on the emacs wordpress package org2blog to allow things like specifying the 'kind' ...
#
shrysr for example, it would be awesome to be able to edit Kinds from quick edit itself.
#
GWG There's a problem with quick edit
#
GWG The hooks to modify quick edit are not cooperative
#
GWG Exactly what do you want to do with quick edit?
#
GWG I thought of doing something more like quickpress
#
GWG A simple post UI

#
shrysr GWG: I started with the idea of predominantly posting notes and only some articles. however, I realised the opposite made more sense. So i wanted to change a bunch of posts from note to article. I ended up doing it manually.
#
GWG Oh....so you wanted to bulk edit
#
shrysr correct
#
shrysr but i guess i also wanted to be able to quick edit.. lol. The quickpress idea is interesting. So far, the bookmarklets are not doing it so well for me. i have to edit the 'kind' everytime and so have to open the standard editor.
#
shrysr wondering whether the command line micropub is better.
#
GWG Which bookmarklets?
IWSlackGateway joined the channel
#
GWG Either way, what do you want to do?
#
GWG Rather than with what tool?
#
GWG Eliminate tool references to boil down the problem

#
shrysr ok. What i first want is to be able to bookmark / like from any or atleast most webpages and have that micropubbed to my site. Right now I have the 'like/reply/repost' bookmarklets. This came from a press this plugin I think. I can see it in tools. Indieweb bookmarklets. As of now - these do not work as expected, i.e the Kind is not set when I use the bookmarklet

GWG Press This isn't Kind aware
#
GWG I think chrisaldrich wrote something for that

GWG Indieweb bookmarklets aren't compatible
