fediverse

<p>Since both lemmy and Mastodon use the fediverse, is it possible to view comment threads under posts from lemmy in Mastodon? How to find a link that works in both/ is it related to the posts id?</p><p>Would these work with <a href="/tags/hashtags/" rel="tag">#hashtags</a> ?</p> <small class="notice" x-post-type-data="None"> Takahe has limited support for this type: <a href="https://sopuli.xyz/post/31943150">See Original Page</a> </small>

<p>This release is mostly made up of behind-the-scenes improvements, but one update you’ll notice right away is the refreshed Followers table. It now looks and feels much more like the standard WordPress admin tables: you can customize it with screen options to hide columns or change how many followers are shown per page, and you can now delete individual followers using inline action links. We also polished the layout by increasing information density and improving the readability of date columns.</p><p>We’ve made migrations easier to kick off by automatically resolving account aliases and saving their ID form. That means you can now paste in WebFinger IDs, profile URLs, etc. and the plugin handles the rest, as long as it resolves to an ActivityPub profile.</p><p>This release also fixes a long-time annoyance: unfederated posts (like those published before the plugin was activated or imported later) will no longer be sent out to followers just because they were updated. For now, we use a simple cutoff for posts older than a month, which should cover the majority of those cases.</p><p>Coming Soon: Following Others!</p><p>Most of the work that went into this release is still invisible, hiding behind a feature flag in Advanced Settings (you can find it by opening Screen Options in the ActivityPub settings screen).</p><p>There’s really no functionality around it yet, beyond following accounts from other instances, as we have yet to start processing incoming posts and adding the ability to interact with them. But if you just can’t wait to show your appreciation for other accounts by following them, go wild!</p><p>Behind the same feature flag, we’ve also added initial beta support for Fediverse Starter Kits. This lets new users follow a set of recommended accounts from a predefined list, following <a href="https://github.com/pixelfed/starter-kits/issues/1" rel="nofollow">the format proposed</a> by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://pixelfed.social/dansup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dansup</span></a></span> for Pixelfed. For now, only Actor objects are supporteded, but we’re hoping to expand that over time.</p><p>Full Changelog</p><p>Added</p><p>Added a first version of the Follow form, allowing users to follow other Actors by username or profile link.<br>Added initial support for Fediverse Starter Kits, allowing users to follow recommended accounts from a predefined list.<br>Ensure that all schedulers are registered during every plugin update.<br>Followers and Following list tables now support Columns and Pagination screen options.<br>The featured tags endpoint is now available again for all profiles, showing the most frequently used tags by each user.<br>The following endpoint now returns the actual list of users being followed.</p><p>Changed</p><p>Follower tables now look closer to what other tables in WordPress look like.<br>Improved Account-Aliases handling by internally normalizing input formats.<br>Minor performance improvement when querying posts of various types, by avoiding double queries.<br>Set older unfederated posts to local visibility by default.<br>Step counts for the Welcome checklist now only take into account steps that are added in the Welcome class.<br>Table actions are now faster by using the Custom Post Type ID instead of the remote user URI, thanks to the unified Actor Model.<br>The following tables now more closely match the appearance of other WordPress tables and can be filtered by status.</p><p>Fixed</p><p>Ensure correct visibility handling for Undo and Follow requests<br>Ensure that the Actor-ID is always a URL.<br>Fixed a bug in how follow requests were accepted to ensure they work correctly.<br>Fixed an issue where the number of followers shown didn’t always match the actual follower list.<br>Fixed a PHP error that prevented the Follower overview from loading.<br>Fixed missing avatar class so that CSS styles are correctly applied to ActivityPub avatars on the Dashboard.<br>Fixed potential errors when unrelated requests get caught in double-knocking callback.<br>Improved WebFinger fallback to better guess usernames from profile links.<br>Prevent WordPress from loading all admin notices twice on ActivityPub settings pages.<br>Removed follower dates to avoid confusion, as they may not have accurately reflected the actual follow time.<br>Stop purging Follow activities from the Outbox to allow proper Unfollow (Undo) handling.</p><p>Downloads</p><p>WordPress.org: <a href="https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/activitypub.7.1.0.zip" rel="nofollow">activitypub.7.1.0.zip</a><br>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/releases/tag/7.1.0" rel="nofollow">tag/7.1.0</a></p><p>Thank you!</p><p>Big thanks to everyone who contributed code, feedback, testing, or encouragement—this community helps make the fediverse more connected with every release. ❤️</p><p>Update to 7.1.0, try it out, and tell us what you think!</p> <small class="notice" x-post-type-data="type=&#x27;Article&#x27; attributed_to=None"> Takahe has limited support for this type: <a href="https://activitypub.blog/2025/07/23/7-1-0-polishing-tables/">See Original Article</a> </small>

<p>Hi everyone,</p><p>As part of a UX/UI design project for my studies, I’m currently analyzing the user experience and interface of BookWyrm. The goal is to identify areas for improvement while respecting the platform’s core values (decentralization, simplicity, accessibility, etc.).</p><p>I’m looking to gather feedback from actual or potential users of the platform. If you have a few minutes, your answers to the questions below would be extremely helpful:</p><p>What do you like most about BookWyrm? Which features do you use most frequently?<br>Are there any features or interactions that you find frustrating or unintuitive?<br>What features do you think are missing or could be improved?<br>How do you feel about the interface (design, readability, navigation)?<br>Do you mainly use BookWyrm on a mobile device or on a computer? And why?<br>Do you also use other platforms (e.g., Goodreads, StoryGraph, LibraryThing)? If yes, what makes you prefer one over the other?<br>If you’ve never used BookWyrm, what’s holding you back? And conversely, what might encourage you to use it regularly?</p><p>Thank you so much for your input. I’d be happy to share the results of this analysis here if there’s interest.</p> <small class="notice" x-post-type-data="None"> Takahe has limited support for this type: <a href="https://lemmy.world/post/30128022">See Original Page</a> </small>
