MODERATORS
wanderer is built on the ActivityPub protocol, meaning your instance can connect with others to share trails, profiles, and updates. Follow users across the network, discover new trails from different communities, and interact seamlessly with other federated platforms like Mastodon — all without relying on a central server.
Is there an example account that I can follow from lemmy or mastodon? can you connect your mastodon to your wanderer account?
Poked around, there's a demo instance with a demo account. Plugged it into Friendica, and it seems to pull the info.
Nice, thx!
I could see the profile but unfortunately no post from mastodon, lemmy and pixelfed.
Yeah, with the way activity pub works it doesn't pull the old info, it just gets new posts. I know you can usually take a link to a post and search it and it'll pull, but Friendica didn't get anything from one of the trail links, though friendica is picky
Wasn't able to fetch them in mastodon either (tried https://demo.wanderer.to/trail/view/@demo/d8516829e6f4a6d ).
A new post showed up though
Not on my instance fosstodon.org
I use this. it works well for what it does.
