  When saving a WordPress post, we can use the save_post hook to set the post format. During the setting process, to prevent an infinite loop, we need to utilize remove_action and add_action.

• How to Import People You Follow on Mastodon to Friendica?

  

  As the title suggests, you definitely don’t want to manually copy and paste each account you want to follow from Mastodon to Friendica. It’s time-consuming and tedious.

• I’m pretty sure Chris Aldrich’s site is where I first learned about using ↬ (“rightwards arrow with loop”) for giving credit. (The symbol would then mean something like hat tip. “Via” is something else, still, apparently, although the distinction isn’t super clear to me. Since I already mark up reposts with microformats, I’m going to stick with this one—“hat tip”—for…
