What would be the easiest way to publish a #webcomic so that it would be on the Fediverse and that would allow readers to read reverse-chronologically (from oldest to newest)?

Is there maybe a #Wordpress plugin for webcomics that is compatible with the #ActivityPub plugin?

(If you don't know, please boost)

I already checked @pixelfed and it doesn't allow for reverse chronological sorting (old to new)

I can imagine that @davidrevoy has connections and might know someone who explored the options

Hey, if it is the "easiest way" with a chronological order, maybe just a Mastodon account and publishing the webcomic in a big thread (that you update on the go) might be a solution. Each post is limited to 4 pages max; but you can chain post this way in a chronological order and update the thread whenever you want. Someone who get the last episode/chapter/page boosted, can quickly access the chronology of the full story with the previous posts after a click. Not tested.

@davidrevoy @RyunoKi Not a bad idea!

I also got this reply from from someone who tried mixing plugins: https://universeodon.com/@ErinPtah/111287679054504710

I am literally doing this right now, @butimacatperson is the Fediverse feed!

Here's the process I went through:

And here's my general primer on starting a Wordpress site for your comic:

You can start from the beginning and read in chronological order (that's the one that's oldest to newest!) on the original website, then subscribe to get the newer pages/posts in your Mastodon feed.

The main downside of this approach is that long threads on Mastodon don't render well. Beyond a certain number of posts it becomes very hard to actually make sure linking to a specific post in the thread scrolls/focuses on that post, in addition to the confusing structure of the comment subthreads.
