@davidbisset I initially read the reverse, Webpage to Youtube, which I think could also be interesting as a form of preservation. Like scroll through the page and click links.

The Friends Post Collection 1.2 release gives you the ability to

to activate and deactivate collections,
to copy post to a collection (instead of just moving it),
to download external images to the Media Library.

The last one is in particular interesting because it means that you can ensure to also keep the images for an external post even if it’s removed from the web.

Since the Friends Send to E-Reader 0.8 release you can download the latest posts from your E-Reader via a special URL. This is the settings screen where you can set that URL:

@kraftner I was more surprised by the amount of company references in a keynote and showcase of their own work. I would have expected it to be more about Drupal Core

@tchambers Via the ActivityPub plugin. Friends does ship a bunch of AP functionality that is (currently) outside of AP’s scope: the ActivityPub plugin handles outgoing content and incoming replies, Friends handles all incoming content and interaction (i.e. following people, handling boosts, likes, and replying, adding support for https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-mastodon-apps/ so that you can use Mastodon mobile apps to view your feed etc.)

@jimniels My WordPress plugin Friends can do this together with my other plugin Send to E-reader. When a new article arrives in an RSS feed it would send an email with the ePub of the article that includes it’s images. I also have another plugin for it called Post Collection which can download the articles images to the WordPress media library and rewrite the html so that if that article goes offline some day. That’s not fully offline though, it’d just all be inside your WordPress install.

Here is a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHaODAUazwE

@cutterkom @eay @pfefferle Die erste Zeile des Beitrags wird als Titel verwendet, allerdings in der aktuellen Version nur wenn bei App im WordPress Backend als Post-Format “Standard” angewählt ist. Das werden wir in der nächsten Version ändern, sodass das mit dem Erste Zeile = Titel immer funktioniert.

@maxheadroom Korrekt, das ist mit dem Plugin schon jetzt möglich!

In this year’s Cloudfest Hackathon, @pfefferle was so kind to work on making my WordPress plugin Enable Mastodon Apps more open and better structured to work with other plugins like ActivityPub.

The Enable Mastodon Apps plugin allows using all those nice Mastodon apps with your own WordPress, instantly opening up a whole new universe of ways to interact with your WordPress blog. With the Friends plugin you can then interact with others, too, just by using your own little blog.

Matthias just blogged about it here: https://notiz.blog/2024/03/21/enable-mastodon-apps/

This is the kind of community work that transforms a plugin to something that is owned by the community. Thanks for your work and I hope that we can get all the refactoring merged soon!

@HarHarLinks Thank you for the kind words and sorry about that talk name confusion! My thinking was that there would be enough people in the room who hadn’t seen the community summit talk so that it would still be new to them, along with the intro-part of the talk (which was very similar to the summit indeed). So, to make it worthwhile for everyone, I made it a follow-up talk given the events that had taken place since the first one. I’m glad you found it useful!
