I see that activitypub and webfinger can be installed on ClassicPress.<\/p>\n<p>I checked that a webfinger was created and displayed correctly but this took trial and error. The biggest error is that to create a webfinger that is valid you must come from an https hyperlink. If it is not secure you get a &quot;socket not secure error&quot;. I found a solution, by creating classicpress.main-vision.com for the sake of testing.<\/p>\n<p>In so doing I achieved two things. The first is that I found a way to experiment with ClassicPress without destroying my website but at the same time I found a way to experiment with other things too. By a similar setup I could get WordPress and webfingers, where a few accounts are possible, rather than just one.<\/p>\n<h2>The Stumbling Block<\/h2>\n<p>I have hit a wall. I created the ClassicPress instance. The webfinger works when I test it and the account is visible on the Fediverse. The problem, at the moment, is that posts do not appear in Fediverse timelines. I don&#8217;t know why that is yet. I also noticed that if I follow from mastodon instances, I can, but from Firefish I can&#8217;t. It&#8217;s not meant to work, so my experimentation is out of curiousity.<\/p>\n<h2>The Next Step<\/h2>\n<p>The next step will be to create a subdomain and experiment with a wordpress blog. I expect this to work flawlessly, but what I really want to see, is whether I can get the webfinger to work so that it displays several users for a single instance. If I succeed then I will have demonstrated that WordPress can be a full-fledged Fediverse instance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Although I didn&#8217;t achieve what I set out to achieve I have been experimenting with ClassicPress and the Fediverse, but rather than do it from my main blog I have decided to experiment within a subdomain and so far I have achieved much.
