Note

This is currently not merged until upstream issue (https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/issues/938) is solved.
Re-implenting the scheduling off the announce logic would lead to a lot of duplicated code, it would be possible, but it is much cleaner to just wait for upstream to provide a better API for scheduling ActivityPub activities.

This pull requests adds a feature which allows sending reminders that an event is about to start to ActivityPub followers.

How it works:

• It allows for a general setting that controls this behavior for all public events as well as an override per event via an meta field.
• Uses WordPress schedules to schedule a single event when the reminder will be send.
• Currently it only sends an Announce of the Event itself.
• For simplicity and straightforwardness in the UI there are currently the following choices: Disables, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week.

Screenshots

To do:

• Documenting the code.
• Documenting this feature in the Readme (#65)
• Upstream issue (https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/issues/938)
• Write tests

Further thoughts:
Sending an announce of an ActivityPub object that has already been shared via a create works well for some platforms but not that well for others. Whether the boost shows up in a Mastodon timeline, is highly depending on which app someone is using as well as the way the target ActivityPub software handles not showing the same object twice within a time frame.

Another more strict way of making sure the event shows up in the timeline of followers again would be sending a automatically composed note that links to the event, but this is not in the scope of the pull request.
