This is live on Write.as. For WriteFreely, tracking in T924: Custom WriteFreely favicon and avatar.

Gonna take a crack at this, as it should lay the groundwork for full two-way fediverse comments (part of T901)

We can probably support this in combination with the new custom favicon feature (T282), as suggested in this Remark.as discussion.

Fixed this on Write.as Web in the course of working on T546.

WriteFreely PR: #442

Improvements for the future:

We can potentially re-use some Read.as code for richer fediverse actor data. But this can move forward, now that T827 is complete.

This is live and working well for the Write.as forum, with Write.as as the OAuth provider. WriteFreely has support as an OAuth client.

👍

Sounds good. Just some other things to note about this approach:

pixelfed doesn't support the @user syntax (it's pixelfed.social/qwazix and not pixelfed.social/@qwazix) so I think it's not a good idea to do the prismo thing.

Just to add to #2, we should probably just leverage the remoteusers table, adding a handle column (or however we name it). That would let us look up the handle and associated actor_id.

I think people will definitely expect mentions to turn into links, so we should address that now.

I'm looking into turning handles into links and I think I should link to the user on remote instances.

I opened an issue on tootsuite here

Ok will do.

Awesome! Sounds good.

Just pushed branch activitypub-mentions where mentions work on pleroma.

I'll test with pleroma and then open the issue with mastodon. I'll also look around plume.

Hmm. Well that's good to know, but I think changing the entire post type really isn't the right solution. Do mentions work with Pleroma?

It seems that Mastodon ignores mentions in "Articles". Maybe now that mastodon has the [expand] functionality we should consider using "Note" when federating (at least up to a certain text length at least).
