So, I got the Fediverse working, sort of. When I post to Friendica, these little posts, they get posted over to WordPress, linked back here, and from wordpress they also get posted up on Mastodon.social, which is pretty cool.
It's not entirely what I expected or wanted, seeings that I still cannot have WordPress itself actually follow my posts from here. Instead, Friendica is posting to it. Still it's some level of progress.
Also, switching from Nginx to Apache has been an interesting journey! More to come on that subject later!
