It’s all fun and games on until someone imports several thousand posts from elsewhere in the filling your feed with spam and crashing the server.

inthedeltawaves,

@kainoa understood, just saw the notice about suspending the feature until it’s ironed out.

At some point, someone needs to do a investigative report on how many historic, vacant (but viable) buildings were demolished and condemned to surface parking lots in Downtown in the service of a shallow, one-time Super Bowl (2006) event…

inthedeltawaves,

@adamjcook RIP Statler Building.

inthedeltawaves,

@adamjcook the absolutely insane part to me is just how many new buildings include garages despite how many parking spaces already exist.

inthedeltawaves,

@adamjcook the first like 10 floors of the new 21-story Huntington Bank headquarters is all parking garage. Nothing quite like moving to downtown Detroit for the urban experience only to build a vertical gated community where you don’t even have to set foot on a city street.

inthedeltawaves,

@adamjcook having lived out here in Portland for 8 years now, I find myself aching in my bones for the type of history Detroit has in spades.

The amount of 80s T-111 siding that sprouted up out here during this region’s big boom years is just sad. We have the right land use policies but not the historic fabric.

Michigan towns are just way too hard up for development of any kind and make too big of sacrifices. Lansing was the worst in this way. They’d tear anything down to appease developers.

Anyone know of a theme with a header image that actually works with 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

WordPress.org is counting 3.000 installations of the Plugin so far 🎉

https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

inthedeltawaves,

@pfefferle I finally got this plugin running today after switching from Bluehost to Dreamhost. Thanks for the effort!

Now I’m just trying to figure out the quirks of Friends and its plugins, like Mastodon Apps, the later of which doesn’t seem to be working on various apps. Will be perfect once I get that up and running.

inthedeltawaves,

@pfefferle for sure. I am also not very skilled with this sort of thing so just a lot of trial and error, but thankful it exists and I’m learning. Thanks again.

Why in the world is Wordpress.com charging $300/year to access its ActivityPub plugin. Just paid for 3 years of personal account only to find this out. WTF. Anyone have a good host for a Wordpress.org site with easy ActivityPub integration? Been trying to get it to work on Bluehost since November with no luck.

inthedeltawaves,

@arnandegans honestly, if the plugins were included, the cost is about the same as hosting.

inthedeltawaves,

@arnandegans oh for sure, I only meant that ActivityPub at the very least should be free even at the $99 for 3 years rate. For someone who so only hosting a personal blog, that would be a proposition worth considering for simpletons like myself.

If you have an independently hosted WordPress blog, you can turn it into a Fediverse server by installing the WordPress ActivityPub plugin. This means people can follow your blog from Mastodon etc.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard's Plugins section, click "add new" and search for "ActivityPub" . Click "install now" on the plugin, and when it has finished installing, click "activate".

  2. On the WordPress dashboard, go to the "Users" section. Click on your username and scroll to the bottom to find your Fediverse address. Share this address with whoever wants to follow your blog on Mastodon etc.

  3. To alter the plugin's settings, on your WordPress dashboard go to Settings > ActivityPub

If you want to switch off or remove the plugin, go to "plugins", then "deactivate" or "delete".

NOTE: This plugin only works with independently hosted WordPress sites. It doesn't work with free accounts on WordPress.com.

inthedeltawaves,

@feditips @pfefferle @mikka I have been trying to get this plugin to work on my blog since November. Never could get it to work, so I've been using Micro.blog. Really wish I could make this happen though since Wordpress has more functionality. I'm thinking it's my blog host. Any suggestions on hosts where I can just start fresh and this works well out of the box?
