What
I want to embed a timeline of my statuses and boosts into a block that can be used as a widget. While it's currently possible to do this with, say, the Notes post type, it's not totally clear how to add things like boosts or replies.
Why
One reason that We Distribute has been so invested in using the ActivityPub integration is the possibility of using WordPress as a Fediverse node, in addition to being a news publication. One way to really take advantage of this concept would be to represent our social activities within our site's frontend.
How
It would be really nice to have a block that represents the contents of a related Actor. For sites that just use the virtual blog actor, this could be represented as a timeline with each activity represented within it. For sites that use individual authors, maybe there's a way to incorporate this into author pages.
In some ways, this is a twist on the older standard of embedding a Twitter account or Facebook Page into a sidebar widget, with the added benefit of the timeline using resources that the WordPress installation already knows about through ActivityPub.
