What
Mastodon and other Fediverse software make it easy to browse someone's profile and see what they've posted:
Right now, this is not possible on a WordPress site. On your profile (e.g. your author archive page on your site, you can only see a list of your recent posts.
It would be nice if the ActivityPub plugin came with a block you could use in the author archive template of a block-based theme, to display both your recent posts and your recent replies, in separate tabs.
Why
One of the advantages of using WordPress as your Fediverse software is that you can customize the look of your site as much as you want. You're not limited to the Mastodon interface, you're free to customize things and make your Fediverse profile look unique.
Adding more blocks in the ActivityPub plugin that will bring even more flexibility to one's profile is a great way to further show off that flexibility WordPress offers.
How
Since the ActivityPub plugin now offers a Federated reply block, we should be able to detect posts that are replies based on the presence of that block in the post content. We can then make 2 different WP queries to get all posts, and all replies.
