Post length with ActivityPub
Full post here. https://rene.seindal.dk/2024/06/20/post-length-with-activitypub/
Many WordPress web-sites now use the ActivityPub plugin, which federates the web-site with the rest of the Fediverse.
I've quite come to like the idea of such an integration — if only people would comment some more
What has bothered me a bit, is that plenty of Fediverse posts coming from WordPress blogs contain the entire post, which is sometimes very long. Get a few of those in a search result on your phone, and you'll be scrolling a lot for very little gain.
The problem is that when configuring the ActivityPub plugin, the only options are either the entire content, or just the excerpt. If you actually use the excerpt field as intended, that's either everything or at most 150 characters.
We need something in between. Fortunately, there's a way.

@seindal @renes-old-blog @pfefferle@notiz.blog seemed to work fine, but blogs does not yet accept direct mentions, so you could use my mastodon profile the next time. Isn‘t there an attribute for the excerpt shortcode to define the length? Haven’t looked in a while… I am getting old

Yes, the official app. -

If post_excerpt is set, that is used.
