How does this plugin do it?
So you want to know what happens in the background, to get your post to diaspora*?
Well, this might be a little technical, but it’s simple enough to understand the concept.
Basically, the server your WordPress installation is set up on makes a connection to your diaspora* pod, logs you in using the provided username and password, adds a new post (which is your WordPress post) and responds to say if everything was successful.
Quite straightforward, right?
