Good lort, I thought I bricked my Mastodon instance
I think I am going to start doing HashTagGames from my WordPress blog at https://HashtagGames.Online
Anyone know how I can upload my @hashtaggames posts from the archive as WordPress posts without spamming the Fediverse?
I don't want a couple 1000's post hitting servers at once. #WordPress #ActivityPub
I'd really like to have them there as an archive
Maybe I can turn AP off, do my import then reactivate WordPress AP plugin?
Need to research

So far, everything I've read where people have successfully imported either their old Twitter archive or Mastodon, it sent everything as new posts to the Fediverse.
I can successfully import, just want to make sure I am not spamming instances.
(I was hoping you would see this post but didn't want to nag tag you, Matthias. 🤭)

@paul feel free to always @-mention me! I try to ignore it as best as I can when I am busy 😉
I will think about that a bit!

Thanks.
I am still obsessed with the question of what happens when you deactivate the plugin but have made peace that it is on the DEV teams mind. 😂

@paul I think, from experience, that temporarily deactivating should work. Unsure about possible other side effects, but the imported posts shouldn’t federate. @pfefferle

As an immediate step, add a "add_filter" for "activitypub_send_activity_to_followers" to false, run import, remove filter.
For the plugin itself, either add a filter to return false if WP_IMPORTING is defined/true or add it to the send_activity_to_followers method, etc.
