yes, what is the alternative? simply delete or block?

If I send a follow, I get a follow back from fed.brid.gy but after sending the Undo, brid.gy seems to keep following my account!?

@snarfed.org should fed.brid.gy unfollow if I send an "Undo > Follow" (Unfollow)?

No, this is using RSS, not ActivityPub 😞

following others is not (yet) possible on WordPress.com

Is there a way to unbridge? Simply unfollow?

Separate setting for which post types to _send_ webmentions for? · Issue #514 · pfefferle/wordpress-webmention Hey guys! The current checkboxes for which post types to receive webmentions for are great. Any chance you might consider adding similar checkboxes for which post types to send webmentions for too?...

how does that recommendation match with github.com/pfefferle/wo... ;)

it actually uses the `Article` type if you let the plugin choose the best possible option.

...but because `Article` is not very well supported by Mastodon and threads, some users use `Note` for every type.

but we are about to fix this: codeberg.org/fediverse/fe...

@snarfed.org does the bluesky bridge support upserts (fall back to create if an update was not tracked before)? Do I have to do something special to federate with the bridge? Do you see some errors of Notiz.blog in the logs?

Muss ich mal schauen! Eigentlich nicht. Folgt jemand deinem bluesky Account?

and thanks for the inspiration @johnonolan.bsky.social ♥️

follow my blog @notiz.blog.notiz.blog.ap.brid.gy and my blog author @pfefferle.notiz.blog.ap.brid.gy

@snarfed.org you are a beast ♥️

this couldn't be easier! github.com/pfefferle/wo...

But it is still crossposting and polling! Don‘t get me wrong, your plugin is awesome, but you could build that also for twitter or any other (closed) platform that has an api!

client as in "use the client API to cross-post to bluesky" (you already mentioned autoblue) or like in "use an existing PDS to publish and receive activities"?

That's what I meant earlier: I am not sure if it is possible to implement a (shared)hostable integration of ATProto as WordPress plugin. I am also not sure if it is even possible with the PHP stack (WebSockets for example).

...and DID alone feels more complicated then the whole ActivityPub spec 😱

I have not even started to look at lexicons and CBOR!

Sure — but you can sum up ActivityPub in one short sentence: it’s all about outboxes, inboxes, and activities flowing between them.

...and it is all HTTP!

and I never thought about an AP server as a whole... I tried to look into PDSes and tried to build a did:web ID for my blog... but I gave up, because there is so much spec and code reading and so little progress... at least if you do not want to use the reference implementations...

so many buzzwords 🫣

a bridge is already available: fed.brid.gy

maybe I am simply not smart enough to build something for #ATProto :)

what do you think will happen if bluesky will no longer support/back ATProto and shut down their firehose?

ATProto Explained – Lexicons and video A deep dive into how Lexicons work on ATProto, and how it impacts the different ways people are building video apps on the network.

there is another problem... the bluesky lexicon has a character limit, that is optimized for microblogging (I think it is 300 chars), if you extend that for blogging, you post is no longer compatible with bluesky.

fediversereport.com/atproto-expl...

have you implemented the federation API or is it cross-posting (POSSE)?

autoblue lifts cross-posting to a completely new level, but in the end it is still cross-posting and not federation :(

sure, the spec is under a free license, but it is still mainly maintained by Bluesky (a single company).

but this is not necessarily something bad!

I just wanted to point out, that this makes the development on ATProto easier and faster than the one on ActivityPub!

fep Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

I would not agree on that! There is a very active community specification process:

* codeberg.org/fediverse/fep
* github.com/swicg/

And you have to differentiate between an open standards process, which is always harder and slower, vs. an open, but propriatary format, which ATProto still is.
