Ha! I’m again able to have my silly website “boost” “Fediverse posts.”

I mark these up using #microformats2 – which after parsing look like this: https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjan.boddez.net%2Fnotes%2F786b644f01 – and have my “ActivityPub sender” pick that up, so that instead of a “Create” activity, it POSTs an “Announce.”

I’d previously implemented this as an addon for #WordPress’ #ActivityPub plugin and now have it working for my #Laravel site, too.

Not entirely sure why this boost doesn’t seem to show for me (i.e., this account) on this here server – my m.s test account definitely did see it pop up on its home timeline – but I’m not going to worry about it.

I probably won’t use this very often. My custom CMS doesn’t do (custom) blocks, so adding microformats is very much a manual thing. Plus, who really “reposts” things (verbatim) on their own site?

I mean, maybe at one point the IndieWeb community was really into replicating every single existing “social media feature,” but, uhm, it’s probably okay to have more “opinionated”—simpler—alternatives, too.

Guess the “real” benefit, if any, of ActivityPub support is those “Fediverse comments.”

I may look into TinyMCE or a similar editor, and custom dialogs for it. https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/latest/dialog-examples/

Should be possible to insert a link complete with microformats, and possibly even some reply context.
