For some reason it posted the image and not the link. I've updated the post, but here's the link as well. https://jseggers.com/technology/how-to-set-up-activitypub-for-self-hosted-wordpress-sites/
Get a phone, join Mastodon. Then you're done, it seems.
Very cool, I had to manage the setup with the official support and scattered issues on the web. Glad you collated it all into one resource.
This is great, thanks so much for taking the time to do it! I've been thinking of moving my Ghost blog/newsletter to Wordpress to take advantage of the fediverse integration, and one of the things that was holding me back is that I couldn't find a post like that that also includes the plugins and recommended settings.
I'll be importing my content (there are various utilities to turn the Ghost JSON export into an importable XML file). Any idea of that imported content will federate, or will it just be treated like old blog posts and not federate?
My understanding is that followers will only see content from the time they subscribe/follow forward. As Zak mentioned in another comment it's not that they can't, but the platforms choose not to. That said, I don't use the website as my daily fediverse account for a number of reasons. The integrations I use allow for comments, likes, and boosts to be captured, even if they're not replying to a post from my blog account.
Also, if someone looks up my blog on Mastodon they get a message saying previous posts can be found on the original site with a link to my author page.
Got it, thanks much!
