  1. 9.0.0 — Growing Up

    ActivityPub for WordPress 9.0.0 is here. Unpublishing a federated post now sends a real Delete instead of a placeholder. Be aware that this can be permanent on other servers. A new Distribution Mode keeps federation from overwhelming smaller servers, your blog can now be featured in Starter Kits, images get blurred color previews, and the ActivityPub API moves closer to the W3C standard.

    Moin und willkommen im #Fediverse!

    Könnte es sich um Bilder von anderen Instanzen handeln, die Deine Instanz gerade nicht anzeigen kann und daher ggf. nur den #Blurhash nimmt?

    Wobei man im Hinterkopf behalten könnte, daß mastodon.social auf Vorabversionen von #Mastodon läuft, aktuell auf Mastodon/4.6.0-nightly.2026-03-19.

  9. More progress in setting up my Wordpress as both a gallery and my social presence! Anyone know how to set it up so preview images use a blurhash if a post is marked with a content warning? I've put the entire site under an age check since doing it to individual posts doesn't obscure them in indexes and searches.

    weanimatethings.com/

    Mastodon clients just do their usual blur-and-obscure with anything CW'd, so the ActivityPub feed isn't a problem.

    A frustrating combo of "You shouldn't (have to) touch the PHP code" and "Wait you're not coding your own theme in PHP? Are you new here?"

  12. Adding Blurhash Support

    Mastodon is where I first learned about “blurhashes,” the blurry image placeholders that show while images are still loading. After I’d recently added support for image attachments to this site’s ActivityPub implementation, I learned that Mastodon instances don’t necessarily generate blurhashes for images sent from other servers.

  15. Yesterday I learned about #BlurHash, a format Mastodon uses to store the blurry image previews as very short text strings, because they are so convenient to move around with all the text. I immediately saw the fundamental wisdom in the ancient shell ways with more clarity, even though treating almost everything as a string often feels wrong and dirty.

  19. Я ускорил генерацию blurhash в 3̶6̶ 8̶7̶ 128 раз

    Старую собаку новым трюкам не обучишь, вот и я взялся за старое. Blurhash — это компактный способ представления размытой превьюшки изображения в виде ASCII-строки. Разработан финской компанией Wolt (аналог Delivery Club). Давно хотелось внедрить такое к себе в API , чтобы любой клиент мог более плавно и изящно делать загрузку контент на своем сайте. Но сколько я на него смотрел — всегда не давала покоя скорость работы, уж больно медленно и «в лоб» он был написан. Но вот время пришло наконец-то разобраться, что же он так медленно работает.

  22. Dynamically Resize and Optimize WordPress Images with imgproxy

    Imgproxy is an open source image processing proxy service. You supply image URLs and processing parameters in the URL. It downloads the image and applies the filters you’ve specified. It can also automatically serve WebP or AVIF images to clients that support those formats.

    I started by installing imgproxy on the DigitalOcean App Platform. You can use the […]

  24. You can read the colors from a #BlurHash (like Mastodon image placeholders) and create a #SwiftUI MeshGradient from them! SwiftUI's perceptual interpolation makes them look even prettier than the original blurhash renderer.

    Thanks @neilsardesai for posting a similar idea

  28. Now further rabbit hole of looking at various instance's Instance endpoint docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/, e.g. this very instance's: fosstodon.org/api/v2/instance but also others like @grafana's
    grafana.social/api/v2/instance and discovering Mastodon Glitch edition glitch-soc.github.io/docs/
    and a reminder of how images are blurred here for loading using #blurhash blurha.sh/ that looks pretty cool and would love to understand the process / see if it can be used well in code I maintain.

  31. TIL: Characters 3-6 of a BlurHash form the average colour of the image (sRGB) – easy to extract if that's all you need, without decoding the whole thing.

    Using this for my post media viewer, where the full BlurHash might be too distracting. Could use a saturation boost in most cases though. (Image by @mark)
