Instead of having a singular catch-all for customizing ActivityPub output, allow admins to customize it by individual WordPress post types.
Why
We're increasingly looking into using our WordPress as our main hub for Fediverse interaction. It's super exciting, but we've found a bit of a snag: we would like to customize the output for the different WordPress post types we're using to better suit our Fediverse audience.
Right now, we use all of these:
Long-form Standard Articles
Short-form Notes, intended to act as statuses
Podcast Episodes
We're also considering integrating the Event type with a calendar.
Each post type has different requirements, which means that the catch-all can make one of the four look good, but can affect the other ones act in unexpected ways.
Being able to specify what fields get federated out will make the timeline look a lot nicer for people following us from all kinds of platforms.
How
What would be really useful is if each post type offered the same box for specifying markup, as well as whether there should be any attachments.
For our needs, this could look like the following:
Standard: Note type, customized body: Excerpt and HTML link, no attachments.
Status: Note type, customized body: full content with linked hashtags, 4 attachments.
Podcast: Note type, 1 attachment that's just an audio file.
