I can't use OStatus

Closed this issue · 8 comments

Hello,
I try to use Ostatus for connect my Wordpress with my Mastodon account.

I install all dependencies (5 plugins) and ... I don't understand the next step ?
Maybe i'm blind ...
Maybe a little tutorial is needed here ?

Thank's for your work :-)

Should be working now with the latest versions of the OStauts and PubSubHubbub/WebSub plugins...

I think the problem is that even after installing all the related plugins, there seems to be no actual (visible) functionality on the site? Is it a purely hidden function that let's you connect via GNUSocial/Mastodon?
What would be the connection address for your blog then? I tried the plain wordpress URL in Hubzilla (theoretically GNUSocial and Mastodon compatible) but it isn't connecting either...

I will add some more details about the identifier you can use. Try @loginname@example.com or https://example.com/author/autor-slug.

How about a small notice above the comment section on how to connect?

@loginname@example.com

So how does one interact with it?

I have tried searching from Mastodon, for @author-slug@example.blog...

There doesn't seem to be anyway of following the blog, or user.

Can you tell me the exact identifier so that I can have a look?

I tried it on mastodon.social and I can follow your account...

You should disable the ActivityPub plugin for now, because it is not yet fully functional and that's why you can't see the posts. I would recommend to only use OStatus for now.

I had tried searching on a smaller, perhaps not-up-date instance. Search does indeed work on mastodon.social
Thanks
