So I managed to get another site in Drupal using ActivityPub. So I can search and find my user on that site now.
Just need to figure out how to get it to work with posts as well now.
But if I can do this more easily then that is a good thing.
New blog post for this month's Emacs Carnival: an elevator pitch. This post includes a little case study on how I modified the gnus implementation for RSS feeds to provide useful extra information (author, tags) for RSS feeds from the fediverse.

Explaining ATProto to people used to ActivityPub is as hard as explaining ActivityPub to people coming from centralized social media because it's just as big a conceptual shift.
Twitter/Facebook/etc->AP split one center into multiple centers. App and data are still bound together.
AP->AT splits app and data. You choose your data host, and then you choose your app. Most apps will bring data hosting along and you won't have to think about it, but the option is there: the credible exit.

So there's an issue between the WordPress ActivityPub plugin and the Block Visibility plugin. ActivityPub just published some content that I had marked as "Visible only for Admins" 😕
Sometimes people mistake my expressed frustrations about Mastodon and ActivityPub as coming from some weird novice or outsider but I'm actually a veteran of the federation wars.
My first account was 2016. You probably read stuff I wrote about it over the years. I tried the stuff that predates it.
Anyway, Google Wave beta was actually the ideal social network.

#ActivityPub extensions where you attach a #git commit to each post. Get all the potsts for an account and you have the full repo. Replying to any post is a patch.
The OMN with indymediaback and makeinghistory are paths
On the #OMN with #indymediaback and #makeinghistory paths – We’re not talking about a single bridge, but a federated ecosystem, with both #DAT and #ActivityPub running on the same server, sharing a common database of media objects. As the data flows, text and metadata are redundantly stored in the open (#4opens). That way, if one server gets hacked, it can simply be rolled back and restored from the wider pool. #KISS
We aim to solve technical issues with human-understandable social paths, […]

Tumblr의 워드프레스 및 페디버스 연동… 당분간 ‘보류’ 상태
Tumblr의 백엔드를 워드프레스로 이전하려는 Automattic이 계획이 현재 “잠정 보류” 상태에 들어갔다고 Automattic의 창립자이자 CEO인 맷 멀런웨그(Matt Mullenweg)가 Decoder 팟캐스트 인터뷰에서 밝혔습니다.
@serapath for the #DAT stuff to become relevant we need to bridge to #ActivityPub https://hamishcampbell.com/building-bridges-instead-of-walls/ then we have the 2 paths and people can choose without isolation and alienation of the current pushing of the #geekproblem
Diversity is the bases of any ecological system, we need to treat tech in this wider view #KISS

📢 CALL TO FEDIVERSE
Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division.
What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose.
The #ActivityPub @forgefed project funded by #NGI0 via @nlnet is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse!
Yet they need HELP.
