A few observations regarding the plugin:

1) It’d be nice if certain posts could be prevented from being widely distributed. For example, a reply distributed to another blog or Twitter doesn’t make sense to post to Mastodon/Fediverse since the quoted source itself isn’t included.

2) It needs a few more options for how posts are formatted. I don’t think it makes sense to include a link back to the source on simple statuses, though it does make sense for articles.

3) Now that the Friends plugin can send a follow request to an added subscription, it’d be great to have a list of follows as well.

Been having fun testing my setup on my blog. So far can post from it to Mastodon but not Twitter and can reply to posts on both.

I'm also experimenting with the plugin, trying to see if it can replicate feed features to some degree. I've successfully added a Reply button to incoming feed entries, which is not OOB. It works just okay for now. Have to see if the reply source can be more seamlessly integrated to generate a u-in-reply-to.

The ultimate goal is to be able to transform into a full instance since right now the offerings, though great, lack the ability to fully engage with content in one spot like you can on Mastodon and other services. With the goal achieved, content ownership is secured and essentially extends IndieWeb-style social networking to all web content that can be consumed with an RSS feed and supports , , and old-timey trackbacks.
