activitypub

w.social invite code

by

Screenshot of the w.social landing page where an invitation code has to be entered.So regarding that new EU social network (which is said to be decentralized but unclear if that implies ActivityPub which would make it more relevant in my book); entering a string in the “invitation code” and clicking “continue” does not result in an XHR request to the server and there’s a lot of JS on the page to handle the invitation code.

This implies the code is checked in the browser so the correct code(s) is somewhere in the JavaScript. So it should be possible to reverse-engineer it, no? 😉

Any takers for this challenge?

blog.futtta.be on the fediverse

Pretty sure no-one is waiting for this, but after having spent a couple of years on the Fediverse (Mastodon in my case) I decided to add ActivityPub support to my WordPress installation via the ActivityPub plugin.

I have the WP Rest Cache plugin active, so I’m expecting things to gently hum along, without (most likely) or with these posts gaining traction.

Kudo’s to Stian and Servebolt for assisting me to get the webfinger endpoint to work, which is … not self-explanatory on hosts that have unoverrideable configuration on the .well-known folder 🙂
