So I help with a #TransPride website and wanted to implement ActivityPub into it allowing the Team to be able to write stuff on part of the Official Team.
To do this I’m using the ActivityPub Plugin on WordPress but it seems like the username get’s cut off, is this due to the long domain or something else. Please help.
The username i’m trying to go for is: Sam@www.transpridesouthampton.org (If I can remove the www. that would be great) but on here it seems to have ended up being @ww.transpridesouthampton.org@kbin.social what doesn’t make sense as I’m not using kbin for the backend.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I see you as @SamXavia@kbin.social on kbin, lemmy, and firefish. Though maybe you’re talking about another account. If you wanted Sam@transpridesouthampton.org you’d need to set up some sort of fediverse instance of your own and set it up to use that domain. If you’re trying to use it on kbin, I’d recommend kbin or lemmy, as I wasn’t actually able to post this on firefish.
It honestly might still be worthwhile even with a federated wordpress if you’re trying to use it for that purpose.
@Millie I’m talking about another account, as this is my personal for none professional things. I’m trying to set up a Wordpress-based one with the ActivityPub Protocol, from what I’ve seen it just looks like a Kbin issue due to Character limits and stuff. I’m slowly working it out, just broke the website as of the moment so hope I can fix it soon.
I’m sure you’ll find a way if you’re determined enough!
You may find, though, that interoperability between platforms isn’t always quite extensive enough to do everything you want to without switching for certain features. Like, I can read top-level lemmy and kbin threads in firefish, and I can reply to lemmy threads, but I can’t read comments on either and I can’t reply to kbin threads.
What I’ve done instead, though, is set up a VIA macro to swap over to the next tab, cut the current url, head to lemm.ee, tab to the search, paste, search, and pick the top link. Between firefish and lemmy it covers most of the other instance types, though I haven’t tried posting to a wordpress yet.
Happy to do some interoperability testing with firefish, though! I’m curious how I can interact with which platforms!
@Millie From what I can tell about the ActivityPub stuff, Kbin seems to have a wacky way of adding users into the system as Lemmy & Mastodon has worked fine in finding the correct username of @Sam
My next step is to work out if I can remove the www. as it’s just really annoying but it’s not necessary in my case to much ig.
@Millie My goal is pretty simple, I just want to make it so that I can post up updates that will end up on ActivityPub for people to see, instead of having to go to the website. Also, it allows people to comment and stuff on it and I can see it directly through the website.
As I will most likely keep using Kbin for my personal as don’t really want to move away from it.
