<p>BotKit 0.2.0 Released</p><p>We're pleased to announce the release of <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/" rel="nofollow">BotKit</a> 0.2.0! For those new to our project, <a href="/tags/botkit/" rel="tag">#BotKit</a> is a <a href="/tags/typescript/" rel="tag">#TypeScript</a> framework for creating standalone <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.</p><p>This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.</p><p>The Journey to Better Bot Interactions</p><p>In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.</p><p>Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis</p><p>One of the most requested features has been <a href="/tags/custom_emoji/" rel="tag">#custom_emoji</a> support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.</p><p>// Define custom emojis for your botconst emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({ botkit: { file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, type: "image/png" }, fedify: { url: "<a href="https://fedify.dev/logo.png" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fedify.dev/logo.png</a>", type: "image/png" }});// Use these custom emojis in your messagesawait session.publish( text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`);</p><p>With this new API, you can:</p><p>Add custom emojis to your bot with Bot.addCustomEmojis()<br>Include these emojis in messages with the <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/text#custom-emojis" rel="nofollow">customEmoji()</a> function<br><a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/text#emoji" rel="nofollow">Use the text tagged template with Fedify Emoji objects</a></p><p>Engaging Through Reactions</p><p>Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:</p><p>// React to a message with a standard Unicode emojiawait message.react(emoji`👍`);// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reactionawait message.react(emojis.botkit);// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactionsbot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => { await session.publish( text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`, { visibility: "direct" } );};</p><p>This feature allows your bot to:</p><p>React to messages with Unicode emojis using <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/message#reacting-to-a-message-with-an-emoji" rel="nofollow">Message.react()</a><br>React with the custom emojis you've defined<br>Handle reaction events with <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/events#emoji-reaction" rel="nofollow">Bot.onReact</a> and <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/events#undoing-emoji-reaction" rel="nofollow">Bot.onUnreact</a> handlers</p><p>Conversations Through Quotes</p><p>Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new <a href="/tags/quote/" rel="tag">#quote</a> support enables more cohesive conversation threads:</p><p>// Quote another message in your bot's postawait session.publish( text`Responding to this interesting point...`, { quoteTarget: originalMessage });// Handle when users quote your bot's messagesbot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => { await session.publish( text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`, { visibility: "direct" } );};</p><p>With quote support, your bot can:</p><p>Quote messages with <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/message#quoting" rel="nofollow">quoteTarget</a> option<br>Access quoted messages via <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/message#quotes" rel="nofollow">Message.quoteTarget</a><br>Handle quote events with the new <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/events#quote" rel="nofollow">Bot.onQuote</a> event handler</p><p>Visual Enhancements</p><p>Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:</p><p>Image attachments now properly display in the web interface<br>Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience</p><p>Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation</p><p>We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:</p><p>More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes<br>Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors</p><p>These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.</p><p>Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0</p><p>Ready to experience these new features?

<p>"也许你知道，巫师是第一次诞生的人。我猜我们都曾有过这种美好的经历，我们都曾有机会使用魔法。但对我们大部分人来说，这个机会出现在历史长河无聊的初始时期，我们把我们最好的咒语都浪费在了蛇颈龙或是原生质，又或是手持火剑的天使身上。它们当然都懂魔法，所以对我们的咒语不屑一顾。如今，巫师是很少见的，但可能没有你想的那么少见。他们什么都不记得，于是什么都不懂，也不会感到无聊。所有事他们都要从头学起，除了魔法，魔法可以说是唯一真正意义上的原罪。在有魔法的人看来，只有魔法是寻常事物，而其他一切都是未知的、没被想到过的，于是也不会被鄙视。魔法人士总是很显眼——他们在人群中太过显眼，以至于我们这些老灵魂几乎没法理解他们。他们完全不懂得为人处世的微妙之处，而且，尽管他们是新灵魂，却丝毫不现代。你可以愤世嫉俗地告诉他们，只有今天是真实的，除了前天，再没有什么比昨天更不值得一提的了。他们会赞叹你的聪明，但下一刻你就会发现一个女巫为丁尼生的诗歌落泪，一个男巫对埃德温·兰西尔爵士的奇特想象力报以微笑。你根本没法把魔法人士和普通人类混起来。你我都经过了历史上万千生命的历程，最终达到了一种太过精微的卓越。在我们的时代——在我们历史的大多数时候——我们已经膜拜过任何能想象的到的东西，现在我们只能去膜拜那些想象不到的东西了。我们把我们的偶像倒立起来，因为这样做很新潮，而且我们觉得我们更喜欢他们头脚颠倒的造型。我们不停地说话，眼上蒙着手绢，踉踉跄跄地在永恒中前行。如果我们幸运的话，在二十几次人生中有那么一两次，遮蔽我们眼睛的手绢滑落了，我们挣扎着睁开一只眼，便看到像大树一样的神行走在我们身边。这可了不得了！这一瞥就足够我们谈论两三辈子！女巫和男巫不被任何观点遮蔽。他们只是四处看看，并被他们所见之物震惊和吸引。"</p> <p>— Stella Benson: <a href="https://bookwyrm.social/book/2083848" rel="nofollow">独居</a>, pp. 23-25</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://ovo.st/club/reading" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>reading</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/reading/" rel="tag">#reading</a> <a href="/tags/quote/" rel="tag">#quote</a> <a href="/tags/在读引用/" rel="tag">#在读引用</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/stellabenson/" rel="tag">#StellaBenson</a> <a href="/tags/livingalone/" rel="tag">#LivingAlone</a></p>

<p>"Much protective self-criticism stems from growing up around people who wouldn't or couldn't love you, and it's likely they still can't or won't. In general, however, the more you let go of the tedious delusion of your own unattractiveness, the easier it will be for others to connect with you, and the more accepted you'll feel." ~ Martha Beck</p><p><a href="/tags/quote/" rel="tag">#quote</a> <a href="/tags/bench/" rel="tag">#bench</a> <a href="/tags/tree/" rel="tag">#tree</a></p>

<p>"No dictator can last forever. History shows that in the end, people around the dictator bring about change.

We’re back with a fresh release, and this one makes following and sharing smoother than ever—plus gives you more control over how your posts can be quoted.

<p>We’re back with a fresh release, and this one makes following and sharing smoother than ever—plus gives you more control over how your posts can be quoted.</p><p>A New Way to Follow (For Now)</p><p>Starting today, users on WordPress.com sites and self-hosted sites connected through Jetpack can see the posts of accounts they follow directly in their WordPress.com Reader timeline. The Following UI has been around for a little while, yet hidden, and with this release it will be enabled by default for these sites.</p><p>When you follow an account, ActivityPub checks for a discoverable RSS feed. If one exists, it’s automatically added to your Reader timeline so new posts appear alongside everything else you already follow. Unfollowing works the same way—the feed disappears when you remove the account. And if you’d like to view the feed for an account you’ve followed, just hover over it in the list table and click View Feed.</p><p>Think of this as a bridge: a simple way to read the posts of accounts you follow today, while we continue building a full, first-class ActivityPub reading experience for tomorrow.</p><p>There are a couple of details to keep in mind. Removing a subscription directly in the Reader won’t update your site’s Following list, and interactions are limited to what RSS allows, which means sharing and reposting rather than the full range of ActivityPub features.</p><p>Running a self-hosted site without Jetpack? You can still <a href="https://activitypub.blog/2025/07/09/7-0-0-i-will-follow-you/" rel="nofollow">enable the Following UI manually</a>—it just won’t connect with the Reader.</p><p>Quote Post Controls</p><p>We’ve also added support for Mastodon’s quote post feature—and given you an easy way to control how others can quote your content.</p><p>When writing in the Block Editor, you’ll now see a sidebar setting that lets you decide whether everyone can quote your post, only your followers can, or if quoting is reserved for you alone. Once published, Mastodon and other compatible platforms will honor your choice automatically. No extra setup needed—just write, choose, and publish with confidence.</p><p>Full Changelog</p><p>Added</p><p>Added a setting to control who can quote your posts.<br>Added support for QuoteRequest activities (FEP-044f), enabling proper handling, validation, and policy-based acceptance or rejection of quote requests.<br>Add upgrade routine to enable ActivityPub feeds in WordPress.com Reader<br>Add Yoast SEO integration for author archives site health check.<br>Improved interaction policies with clearer defaults and better Mastodon compatibility.<br>New site health check warns if active Captcha plugins may block ActivityPub comments.<br>Sync following meta to enable RSS feed subscriptions for ActivityPub actors in WordPress.com Reader<br>You can now follow people and see their updates right in the WordPress.com Reader when using Jetpack or WordPress.com.</p><p>Changed</p><p>Added support for fetching actors by account identifiers and improved reliability of actor retrieval.<br>Clarify error messages in account modal to specify full profile URL format.<br>Improved checks to better identify public Activities.<br>Improved compatibility by making the ‘implements’ field always use multiple entries.<br>Improved recipient handling for clarity and improved visibility handling of activities.<br>Remote reply blocks now sync account info across all blocks on the same page<br>Standardized notification handling with new hooks for better extensibility and consistency.<br>Updated sync allowlist to add support for Jetpack notifications of likes and reposts.</p><p>Fixed</p><p>Fixed an issue where post metadata in the block editor was missing or failed to update.<br>Fix Flag activity object list processing to preserve URL arrays<br>Fix PHP warning in bulk edit scenario when post_author is missing from $_REQUEST<br>Posts now only fall back to the blog user when blog mode is enabled and no valid author exists, ensuring content negotiation only runs if an Actor is available.</p><p>Downloads</p><p>WordPress.org: <a href="https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/activitypub.7.5.0.zip" rel="nofollow">activitypub.7.5.0.zip</a><br>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/releases/tag/7.5.0" rel="nofollow">tag/7.5.0</a></p><p>Thank you!</p><p>Thanks to everyone who contributed code, tested, offered feedback, or lent support along the way.
