Might be good to make it pluggable too, so that @akirk EMA plugin could hook into
I think it is the other way around! I would use a filter of EMA to implement it?!?
I had researched this in https://github.com/akirk/enable-mastodon-apps/issues/153 and it turns out that the application info is not federated between Mastodon, it is only tracked inside your own Mastodon instance by using an application_id
field which refers to an app (see website
in the view and in the db model) authenticated at the Mastodon instance, you cannot feed your own data into that.
What
The Mastodon API seems to support an
application
field, that allows one to pass information about the client used to post the message. Here are some examples:-- https://mastodon.social/api/v1/statuses/112989821694410467
-- https://mastodon.social/api/v1/statuses/112993223143821397
This information is used by some Fediverse applications to display information about how the message was posted:
API Reference: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Application/
It would be nice if messages posted via the ActivityPub plugin included that information, maybe as a "ActivityPub for WordPress" application?
Why
This would help further promote the ActivityPub plugin and nurture its adoption.
