[pfefferle]: How would you say that I should use the ActivityPub plugin to interact with my website? I feel like I just have set it and forgotten it

hey [dshanske] 👋
#
[pfefferle]
I am not sure I understand your question
#
GWG
[pfefferle]: Greetings from Dublin airport...
#
GWG
[pfefferle]: I just haven't done anything but turn the plugin on
#
GWG
I feel like more work might be required
#
[pfefferle]
ah, not really... you have to tell people how to follow you and show them the WebFinger ID or URL to do so...
#
GWG
Yes, any advice?
#
GWG
How do I tell them?
#

`@dshanske@david.shanske.com` works fine for me on my mastodon instance
#
GWG
[dominik]: I haven't figured out what I should do to read or reply to people yet though
#
[dominik]
It's mostly a way to publish, you can't follow people or reply to their posts (unless they're replies to one of your posts)
#
GWG
[dominik]: So, how do you interact with others?
#
[dominik]
As far as I know - you don't. I think there's some other plugin, but I haven't looked into that.
#
[dominik]
If you post something to your blog, it gets send out to your subscribers/followers. Replies on their end turn into comments on your WordPress. If you comment on their comments, those will be sent out as replies.

So, same problem I had with Bridgy
#
GWG
I wonder what I can do to improve my interaction. I need to post more, but also... I need to respond to others more too
#
GWG
I want to figure it out for the next stage of the plugins I write
#
[dominik]
Could well be. I replied to your checkin-post, so you should probably get that as a comment
#
GWG
I also have to fix Bluesky integration. It isn't working well for me.
#
GWG
It seems to only show the link over the full note
#
GWG
[pfefferle]: Approved the fix, but made a suggestion for a future PR
#
GWG
I am heading home, so after a few days, may submit something
