[mrkrndvs] Inspired by Doug Belshaw's recent reflection I am trying to connect my site to the Fediverse https://collect.readwriterespond.com/bridgy-fed/ I successfully connected using the Activity Pub plugin, but assume that using [snarfed] Bridgy Fed method would allow more control over what is posted to the Fediverse? I setup the Atom feed, URL redirects and selected Bridgy Fed from Syndication Links. Still no luck. Does anything standout to
#
[mrkrndvs] anyone as to what step I may have missed.

[jgmac1106] .... It wont work on reclaim hosting is my guess
#
[jgmac1106] I think you syndicate to micro.blog [mrkrndvs] you can create an instance using those tools
#
[mrkrndvs] Thanks [jgmac1106] I got the Activity Pub plugin working, might just need to stick with that 🤷‍♂️ I still have the question how you follow and interact from your own site. I am confused how I can 'login' to the app to follow the feed. Laura Kalbag also discusses purchasing your own instance.
#
Ruxton is there somewhere I can test my Activity Pub stuff is working without signng up to a mastodon hub or something like that?

[Michael_Beckwit was mostly listing for Indieweb dev people to grep the org repos for things that could conflict with our changes
