I need to dig into the Import from Mastodon code to see if I can get WordPress to import my favorites and bookmarks along with statuses and replies/boosts. Maybe a project for when things are less busy.
@arush Would it keep your favorites as individual posts as well? Where would they live in WP?
@tristan Yes it would keep favorites as individual posts with the taxonomy of "like" which already exists on my site. Similar to how it keeps statuses as "note" and replies as "reply" and boosts as "repost".
@arush I've been contemplating doing this for a long time so I can "own" my content and have things originate from a single location and syndicate outwards to other services, rather than syndicating inward to my blog. Are there any plugins you would recommend beyond the standard fair ActivityPub plugin? (Feel free to tell me to shut up and send you money if it would take too much time to discuss.)
@tristan Which thingy are you using for your website? Because there are plugins/themes that support the various building blocks, but what specifically is available depends on what you're using.
@arush I don't have any kind of WP in place on my personal site right now --up until this point, it's been static site generators and hand-written HTML like it's 1999. I am, however, familiar with Wordpress so spitting out a bunch of themes/plugins will still be useful to me. When I get around to doing this I'd probably go with Classicpress these days because Gutenberg is a real pain.
@tristan Some of the static site generators have add-ons/themes, which was why I was asking. I can give you WP stuff though if you want. the indieweb stuff is explicitly agnostic when it comes to what you build with. You can do it as simply as plain old semantic html or you can use something like WP, but if you use WP or similar what you're outputting needs to be plain old semantic HTML with microformats 2 for the best result/interoperability.
@tristan See: https://www.indieweb.org. Start there and you'll find all kinds of stuff on the wiki, and of course you can feel free to join the chat, we're pretty friendly. Or I can help you. Whatever works best.
@arush Thanks, this is all very useful. I'm going to give this a look; this should be a good starting point.
