What kind of customizations did you have in mind? What would you like your site to look like?
I’ve learned to really appreciate the flexibility of the block-based themes in WordPress ; they offer a lot that was previously only available to folks comfortable with PHP. That said, this is mostly about layout and display. If you want to display custom data, you may still have to dive into code to get what you need. That is, unless someone else already developed it 🙂
The ActivityPub plugin includes more and more blocks that can help bring Fediverse functionality to your site, to create real Fediverse profiles for authors. If you have ideas of more things we could implement, please let us, either in the WordPress.org support forums for the plugin, on GitHub, or right here (you can ping @pfefferle or me any time!)

Notre commune a un site officiel qui sert beaucoup. Toutes les annonces officielles y sont publiées, et sont ensuite partagées sur les réseaux sociaux, essentiellement Facebook, mais aussi LinkedIn. YouTube aussi est de plus en plus utilisé ; les réunions du conseil y sont streamés en live, puis donc disponibles sur le long terme, et mises à disposition sur le site (et donc dispo par RSS aussi). De nombreuses catégories peuvent être suivies via des flux différents, ce qui est très utile.
Certaines communications sont encore seulement publiées sur Facebook malheureusement, mais le pense que les choses se sont améliorées de ce côté là. On peut maintenant se tenir au courant d’une grande majorité des nouvelles de la commune sans se rendre sur Facebook. Bon, on est loin de la présence sur le Fediverse tout de même 🙂
Toute cette présence est à mon avis le résultat de beaucoup d’éducation et de discussions, et pas quelque chose de forcément naturel pour chacun des élus. Il y a un grand contraste avec les communications de tous les partis se présentant aux élections, y compris le parti de la majorité, qui communiquent essentiellement via Facebook, ont des sites qui ne sont pas à jour, ont leurs programmes disponibles sur Facebook et pas sur le site, …

One vaut, 4 main folders (using the PARA method), many (too many) subfolders. I think it could be better, but I haven’t found a better way yet. I’m not too worried about it though, I rely on search, bases, and internal links to navigate across my vault and it works.

I’ve been building an RSS reader for the past year. No unread counts, no inbox to clear. Just a river that flows at its own pace.
Today it’s live on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I wrote about everything that went into it.
Current, an RSS Reader, by @tgCurrent is a new RSS reader that takes a really interesting approach to how we consume feeds. Instead of treating your subscriptions as a to-do list with an ever-growing unread count, it presents your feeds as a river; articles flow in, linger for a while, and eventually fade away on their own.
Although the app is mac / iOS only, and paid, it’s not completely closed. You can hook it up to existing RSS backends like Feedbin or Miniflux.
The completionist part of me does miss the idea of reaching “inbox zero.” For me, inbox zero was never about obsessive consumption (or at least I like to think so); it was the permission to walk away. When I’ve read everything, I’m done. I can close the app and move on with my day. I wouldn’t want my RSS experience to turn into a TikTok-like endless scroll where I just keep going without thinking. Current isn’t exactly that though, and that’s where its velocity system gets really interesting.
Each feed gets assigned a half-life that determines how long its articles stay visible. Breaking news fade away faster than blog posts for example. This means the app naturally surfaces content proportionally to its nature; a prolific news site won’t drown out the small blogs you actually care about. The pace of consumption adapts to the pace of creation, which feels much more respectful of both the reader’s attention and the author’s intent.
On top of that, Current watches your reading patterns and offers suggestions to help you “quiet” noisy sources. If a feed floods your timeline with 18 articles in one day, or if you keep skipping posts from the same source, it’ll nudge you to rate-limit or mute it.
I would give the app a try, but it’s iOS and mac-only so far, so I guess I’ll have to wait! 🙂

Could you check that the ActivityPub plugin is still active on your site? You seem to be using the Friends plugin but the ActivityFun plugin itself seems disabled.
You can also post in the plugin’s support forums if that doesn’t help ; we’ll be happy to help!

If you’re an old-time blogger, you probably remember Freshly Pressed. 16 years ago (!), the folks at WordPress.com launched a new blog where they highlighted interesting blog posts from the WordPress.com community every week.
We iterated on the idea a few times over the years but the main idea stayed the same:
a curated collection of posts that entertained, enlightened, and inspired. It was our way of saying “we like you, we really like you” to creators, and amplifying their great work for others to find.
Great Writing Deserves a Spotlight: Freshly Pressed Is BackFreshly Pressed went away for the past few years, but I’m happy to say that my team brought it back! It’s got a fresh coat of paint and most importantly, it’s got quite a few interesting blog posts already!
Im really happy and proud that we were able to get this done. Today, more than ever, I think we could use a bit more humanity on the web.
The old web felt like a city. You could turn down a random alley and find a weird little shop. You could get lost and discover something beautiful by accident. You could end up in a tiny shop you didn’t know existed or sit on a bench and people-watch.
Now it’s a mall. Every path leads past a store. Every store wants something from you. Even the “public” space is engineered to keep you moving toward purchase.
Straight from today’s Freshly Pressed post, I miss being unmarketable on the internet.So check some of those blogs out. Give them a Like. Leave a comment. Start following them. And if you find good potential candidates for the next Freshly Pressed post, send them my way! All you need to be featured is a WordPress.com or self-hosted WordPress site running the Jetpack plugin, and most importantly, an interesting, or funny, or unique story to tell!
Bonus: if you’re more of an RSS person, you can also get Freshly Pressed posts straight in your RSS reader via this feed. Pinging @davew, I know you’re always looking for good feeds 🙂
