How to migrate data from WordPress to Django?

Hi all, in my job training i'm working on creating a new version of the smart map

The current website is using WordPress for the backend and the version i'm working on uses Django. I'd like to migrate data from the WordPress database into Django

From what i've been able to gather there are these alternatives:
* Using Django's inspectdb (as described here)
* Exporting the WP data to XML and then parsing this data with a custom script (maybe something like this)

What would you recommend? Are there other options?

The-Federation.info has a new maintainer 🥳

Starting in November 2013 as pods.jasonrobinson.me, later settling on https://the-federation.info, there have been many stages to this site over time. Initially a rather simple #NodeJS app, the frontend was completely overhauled by @{https://mastodon.social/@fla} into the style it is currently. Some years later a complete rewrite was done by myself to the current #Django / #VueJS stack.

After a few years of dropping into lack of maintenance due to lack of time from my part to contribute, the site has now finally found a new maintainer, @{https://chaos.social/@6543}, who is also active in the #Gitea project (which you may or may not know is also working on ActivityPub federation \o/).

The-federation.info is a rather dear project to me, and it makes me happy that it may still have a future with a new maintainer, instead of going into even worse disrepair and eventually shutting down. There is a rewrite planned to fix the horrible scalability issues the site has been suffering from (ever since adding ActivityPub protocol nodes into the mix), if you're interested see this issue.

For those who want to help, there is also the Matrix chat room: #thefederation:federator.dev..

I would also like to thank the various people who have helped maintain data over the years, hopefully you'll stick around to help the site grow in the future too! 💚

Socialhome v0.13.0 released

Hello 👋 Yes, it's been a while! Eight months since the last release in fact. The project is still alive, but not as active as previously. Progress still happening once in a while, thus a new release!

Highlights

  • Start adding Matrix support 🎉 Very, very early days, and totally experimental. Currently, if enabled and hooked up with a compatible Matrix server, local user accounts are mirrored to the Matrix side and additionally their public posts get mirrored in profile rooms and hashtag rooms. More later as things develop!
  • Translations process! Socialhome can now be translated and is now fully translated to #French! Thanks to Alain St-Denis for the awesome work to both push through the translations process and also do the French translations <3 Other languages partially translated are German and Norwegian. Also thanks to Weblate for hosting the translations for us.
  • More changes and fixes to ensure ActivityPub and Diaspora identities don't get duplicated, for remote platforms that have both versions (like Socialhome instances!).
  • A bunch of bug fixes to the streams UI and to the federation library.

Full changelogs:
* Socialhome - https://socialhome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html
* Federation - https://github.com/jaywink/federation/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

What is Socialhome?

Socialhome is best described as a #federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using #Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the #ActivityPub and #Diaspora protocols, with #Matrix coming up!

Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a #Socialhome profile itself.

DearAspora,

long time no hi! But I got back with good news. I finally finished my lil #blog site where I intend to post stuff I did that I find worth sharing. For example a great #cycling trip or a c++ mini #game flasim that could serve as a game programming introduction.

It's all plain #django, no scripts, no google analytics, no cookies. Comments welcome. :)
