I'm considering writing a formal document (FEP?) that specifies how an ActivityPub service (including both server and client behavior) may implement domain-only names like #Bluesky has. Because it's the biggest beneficial thing Bluesky has that we don't (the one other thing is detached "preferred" handles, which is related). I've reasoned somewhere else before that it would be super helpful for #BridgyFed, #Tumblr, and #Wordpress.
@thisismissem That's absolutely a viable approach. I proposed just using the root HTTP URL earlier, although in theory it could use a dummy username like "_".
I'm actually not sure what the biggest hurdle to adoption would be. Probably just it getting done 😆
Also: maybe servers that do the plain-domain mention could be mandated to have @domain.tld@domain.tld resolve to the same thing as @domain.tld for compatibility.
Anyone know of a #Wordpress theme with a header image that actually works with #activitypub so that it becomes the Mastodon header image? I’m new to this and haven’t gotten it to work on my blog account: @bryan
@chris shout out to your work on Kana. Just had one of our Devs that I'm collabing on some plugin development just praise how easy it was to get our plugin working in a #WordPress environment for local testing. 🕺
@davidbisset Looks nice. I'm still not sure what to think about block themes in general, all styles being inline etc., Also from a regular user point of view it's too easy to break the layout on admin side and quite difficult to build new layouts with too many options in your hands.
How do these local screwdriver shops stay in business? Do they have like a handful of accounting firms they do IT support with? Make all their money over Christmas assembling game PCs? Spending 90% of the time doing #wordpress development waiting for a customer? Money laundering? Passion business for the secondary income earner in a marriage?
Nice to see an update from the WP Feature (former WP Notify) project! Apparently there’s a “#JavaScript based system for displaying notifications” being worked on.
