Now my posts are not appearing on the Fediverse

My misadventures with ActivityPub continues!

So, this morning I posted a blog post on DramaTea, my blog for CDramas and Kdramas.

In a weird twist, my older posts are now appearing in the Fediverse version of the DramaTea blog and my new post is not appearing 😂 And even more mysteriously, my brid.gy integration which has never worked before started to work! Haha! What’s going on?

What can I say? The wordpress.com and Activitypub integration with the Fediverse is still a little rough around the edges.

Comments are also not reliably appearing either. I’ve posted a query on WordPress.com’s support forums, and it’s so far crickets!

Looks like I am not moving away from brid.gy anytime soon. Hope it improves and the team doesn’t ignore the problem.

Let’s see if this post appears on @elizabethtai.com

    @elizabethtai.com hmm! This post appears just fineCould it be because I scheduled that dramatea post and did not a "publish now" ? Perplexing. This is the only thing I did differently 🤷‍♀️

    Brecht Savelkoul: @liztai Are both of them on wordpress.com, or are you self-hosting wordpress for one (or both) of them? I just retried and none of my follow requests seem to get through yet. via social.coop

    Ah, the same thing with missing posts happens to me!
    For now, I see the ActivityPub plugin as a way to broadcast your blog to the Fediverse, but with no proper threaded comments or no way to follow other accounts is not a replacement of a Mastodon (or Friendica, or Akkoma, or Pixelfed, or Firefish, or whatever) profile… at least for now.

      Unfortunately, too true! I guess I’ll still continue using brid.gy to capture Mastodon comments, despite not liking that every like and reshare is also included as a comment, which could clutter up the comments section.

    I disconnected my WordPress blog from the fediverse. It was too confusing having both Mastodon and my blog on the fediverse. 😅

      I’m tempted to do the same lol. But for now I’m just leaving it up there.
