And I thought only the #fediverse can’t keep it’s Like counts and Follower counts and comment threads synchronized across instances.
Earlier today I looked at the “general” Matrix room of the Fediverse Developer Network, and it had just something like 40 people in it. Where did they all go? But all false alarm. Just now, I use the same app to look at the same number, and it’s back at 147, roughly where I thought it was.
Imho none of this is acceptable, never mind technical difficulties.
I wonder if the ActivityPub spec has some allowance for the eliding of the "user" part of a handle. So instead of "@/me@myserver.social" it could just be "@/myserver.social" (without "/").
If not I think that would be a nice add. Maybe just some convention like "If user not present in handle, assume "@/_main@myserver.social".
"ActivityPub 1.0.0 for WordPress has been released allowing WordPress blogs to be followed by others on apps like Mastodon and others in the fediverse and then receive replies back as comments on their own sites."
If the entire rest of the #Fediverse would learn to do what @freakazoid states here, the Fediverse would be in a much better place with a LOT less drama and ignorance.
