FediEmbedi is a wordpress plugin to display your social media activities from different Fediverse services:
Example
Example shortcode for mastodon
[mastodon exclude_replies="true" limit=5 pinned="true"]
For a sneak preview of my followup to the Fediverse Schema Observatory, there’s now a project page on the lab website for the ActivityPub Fuzzer:
https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/activitypub-fuzzer/
Basically it lets an ActivityPub server developer test compatibility with simulated messages from Fediverse software known to the Observatory (dozens of software projects and hundreds of versions!). The dev can do this entirely in a local dev environment.
The project is still in the works but I’ll be releasing the code soon.
I’ve been doing some thinking about what the right metrics are for organizations (e.g public service broadcasters, or universities) on social media. Usually they are looking at things like follower count, or number of engagements with posts.
But if you have a choice of attracting an extra 100 followers, all of whom are trolls, and they have left 100 non-constructive comments, are you now better off or worse?

This one was, obviously, bittersweet to write: we’re shutting down app hosting on Glitch. This post covers how everybody can export your apps & download your code. I didn’t get into where the Glitch community goes next, because honestly we’re still figuring it out, but it’s still the end of an era. I’ll have more to share about this later, of course, but I just wanted to make sure everyone got the news straight from me. If you have any questions, you can ask in the forum. https://blog.glitch.com/post/changes-are-coming-to-glitch/
We’ve got an important update for the Glitch community today:…
https://blog.glitch.com/post/changes-are-coming-to-glitch/Other options, here are the defaults:
'only_media' => false,
'pinned' => false, //only display pinned status
'exclude_replies' => false,
'max_id' => null,
'since_id' => null,
'min_id' => null,
'limit' => 5, //mastodon limit is 20
'exclude_reblogs' => false,
'show_header' => true,Any of these can be overridden in the shortcode, for example:
[mastodon exclude_reblogs="true" exclude_replies="false", limit="20", show_header="false"]
