@elettrona
best way i think
@selfhosted
@ju_ri @selfhosted It's driving me completely mad
@elettrona
i feel you.
in case nothing works for you, do you know https://www.libre-workspace.org/ its perhaps an alternative to yunohost and wordpress is included (just a click). you do not have hundreds of apps, but its easier to mange and forum is really well. tbh, the webfinger question you have to clear before a change.
@selfhosted
@ju_ri @selfhosted I've activated fediverse now, but it's a very basic instance with base WordPress. I must rearrange my whole multilingual experience. Damn.
@elettrona
ok, a lot of workload but the right direction. :)
@selfhosted
@ju_ri @selfhosted the only issues is that the activitypub client (posting from mastodon clients) doesn't work and gives no errors
@elettrona
hmm isn't it you have to leave a code snippet in root folder to reach from mastodon? I don't remember really, sorry
@selfhosted
@ju_ri @selfhosted I don't think so. The plugin is called "enable mastodon apps"
