Adding federation support to Discourse

Full-topic federation available at Fediverse Futures

I want to mention that our Fediverse account (@fediverse@socialhub.activitypub.rocks) now supports replies from the Fediverse! We have not tested it yet so here is a starter…

Associate your Fediverse account to your SocialHub account

  1. Navigate to your ActivityPub preferences: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/my/preferences/activity-pub
  2. Enter the domain name of your Fediverse account: the plugin will image your account there and start the OAuth dance to access your account read-only.
  3. Now your activities from your Fediverse account will be associated with your SocialHub user!

That means replies you make to the Fediverse Futures topics you catch from the Fediverse will appear as you on the SocialHub topic… This is tremendously exciting because it opens Fediverse Enhancement Proposals discussions to the Fediverse (provided you have an associated account on the SocialHub as well. Let’s test first with Fediverse Futures
