cambridgeport90 I'm sure that this has been a question of interest for a while, and if it's been answered, I would love a nudge in the right direction. What exactly technologically is the difference between the activityPub plugin, and BridgyFed? Is there an advantage for one over the other?
# 23:27 
[snarfed] cambridgeport90 the main difference is that BF isn't a WordPress plugin, it works with any web site that has mf2 and webmentions
# 23:28 
cambridgeport90 Somebody also mentioned something about BF being able to translate postkinds from replies from the Fediverse? 
# 23:29 
[snarfed] afaik yes
# 23:30 
[snarfed] I think it has more functionality than the plugin, eg likes, reposts, replies both directions, profile header image, etc, but I haven't followed the plugin recently

cambridgeport90 Interesting.I'm subscribed to all notifications for it, and since it's now owned by Automattic, I'll post a discussion seeing what can be done about that, because it would be nice to have those features available in the plugin itself. I'm sort of a .local-first person. Plus I use Brid.gy anyway to get stuff from other places. We'll see what happens.
