Good lort, I thought I bricked my Mastodon instance

I think I am going to start doing HashTagGames from my WordPress blog at 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.

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

@pfefferle
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.
