Alright #CalcKey junkies, I'm a Mastodon instance admin and I'm an engineering group lead at Automattic (think the company of WordPress' founder) who is leading the work to add Mastodon as a supported service for our Jetpack Social product. That said, what's the sell to get me to spend more time here?

@kraft can you tell us more about what you mean by adding it as a supported service?

@liaizon@social.wake.st it could be a few different things. What we've added/adding for Mastodon is a "Share to Mastodon" button ( see an example at https://kraft.blog/2023/02/joining-the-student-advisory-board/ ) and we're adding support for our auto-post function where when you publish a blog post, an excerpt, some media, and a link is published on your socials. For Twitter, we also had things like tweetswarming where we'd suck in a thread and import it into a new post for those who did huge Twitter threads and realized it should be on their site. Also, had the reverse. Write a post and have it auto-posted as a Twitter thread with sensible breakpoints.Those latter two were really because of the char count limits of Twitter which I don't think would apply to the Fediverse platforms I've checked out so far.

@kraft @liaizon@social.wake.st Have you considered, instead of sharing the blog post to mastodon, making the entire blog subscrible as part of the fediverse?Like a "Follow" and a "reblog" buttons instead of a "share" button.

@matthieu_xyz @liaizon@social.wake.st yes! That's in the works too. We brought on board the gentleman who created https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ to bring ActivityPub support to WordPress sites. He's working now on integrating it for all WordPress.com sites and making it a better experience. Right now, it isn't feature-complete enough for me, personally, to say it's ready for folks who aren't early adopters and okay with rough edges. The sharing and auto-posting is a bit easier to do since there is the existing model of doing it on legacy social media platforms. On the Tumblr side of the company, same thing. Want to get it to be ActivityPub-compliant. I don't work over there but I imagine that's a pretty big effort and I don't know where it stands off hand. Long answer but yes. Having a site published using the ActivityPub protocol is on the horizon.

@kraft @liaizon @matthieu_xyz can you tell him to test that plugin on more server software than just mastodon because it's completely broken for akkoma/pleroma and its webfinger output is not spec compliant, the subject is being presented as just a handle instead of an acct: URI

@kraft Interesting that you work at Automattic! In a previous post, I said this: "The best way to explain #Calckey is to imagine what would happen if (pre-Elon) #Twitter fell in love with #WordPress and they had a baby."I wrote a long thread about why here:https://mastodon.social/@atomicpoet/110330138893896925That said, here's merely 5 reasons to love Calckey:1. Emoji reactions2. Quoted posts3. Comment trees4. Galleries5. Drive6. ChannelsHaving fun looking around here!(Also tagging @kraft@kraft@religious.social) so you can read about this on Mastodon too.)

@atomicpoet This looks interesting. Especially in light of it being separated from Mastodon development as I understand it. What's the development approach? Do the devs do UX research and do community engagement?

@christo@dice.camp #Calckey is a fork of #Misskey, which is actually two years older than Mastodon. It started off as @kainoa’s personal project but has become a team endeavour. There’s lots of community input and engagement.

@atomicpoet @kainoa Thanks for confirming that #Calckey is a fork of #Misskey. Where is the community discussion related to development? GitHub?

@kainoa @atomicpoet @christo do you still plan on moving calckey to your own git server?

@kraft@calckey.social None. If you need a "sell" to be around here, you're probably not here to just have fun.
