Compatability with AP-enabled Wordpress blogs

[DeadSuperHero]

Hey there, Plume team!

I'm currently trying out your software on a public instance (fediverse.blog), and was interested in the possibility of subscribing to my ActivityPub-enabled Wordpress blog, which is made possible by Pterotype. For context, I run a site called WeDistribute.org, which talks about fediverse projects. Currently, a few types of platforms are capable of subscribing to it:

• Mastodon
• Pleroma
• Friendica
• Hubzilla

I think, in the long term, it could be very crucial for ActivityPub-enabled blogging platforms to be capable of federating with one another. Currently, I am unable to follow my Wordpress blog from Plume. Attempting to navigate to ether https://fediverse.blog/@/blog@wedistribute.org or https://fediverse.blog/~/blog@wedistribute.org does not appear to bear fruit yet.

My question to you is, what would it take to make cross-federation with Plume possible? How might separate ActivityPub-enabled article platforms work to ensure compatability with each other?

I'm looking into it. It seems the webfinger entry for the user blog@wedistribute.org contain escaped /, where we expect them to be used directly (it's how other implementations behave). I'm not sure if it should be considered a Plume bug, or a Pterotype one, but being a bit more liberal on this can't really harm.
Edit : actually / are escaped everywhere

This issue, related to Plume's URL schema retrieval by webfinger may be of some help in sheding light on the issue in general, even if it's not specifically Wordpress related:

The two issues are different and unrelated, but I'll try to push fixes for both by the end of the day

Oh... good to know, sorry :-)

Hey I am the developer of the ActivityPub plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/) for WordPress. I just tested my implementation with plume and it seems to detect the profile, but my blog does not receive a follow request.
