Hey @buercher, wouldn’t it be great if we could opt in to #tootfinder by following an account? That would be way easier and less error prone. What do you think?

@user8e8f87c @fediversenews It would be great, but bot-instances refused to open an account and instance-hosting-providers refused to host an instance for a single account for tootfinder for ideological and practical reasons. See also my blog tootfinder.ch/wiki/index.php?n

@buercher @user8e8f87c @fediversenews Needing a whole Mastodon (or similar) instance seems like overkill. It only needs bare minimum ActivityPub support for follow/unfollow. Wordpress and other similar things support that.

@MetalSamurai @user8e8f87c @fediversenews This could be interesting to investigatez Have you a link to the WordPress extension that does this?

How does something like this work when the users use an with character limits? Will your blog posts still be shared to other instances?

@Stark9837 @buercher @user8e8f87c @fediversenews Shouldn’t be an issue. My instance has a limited post size (500?), but I see very long posts in my timeline all the time.

Oh, so it is limited on the sender's side, not on the receiver side. Interesting, thanks!
