When I started with #ActivityPub for #WordPress, it was a small experiment. Now almost 4 out of 10 #Fediverse servers are WordPress sites, and it is still growing, slowly but steadily. Come and join us @activitypub.blog 🎉

@pfefferle@mastodon.social it's a no-brainer to connect your WordPress blog to ActivityPub <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f60a.png?v=7e3567dc339" title=":blush:" />

is it possible to use a WordPress.com site as a fully functional fedi site? and are there any Android mobile apps that work with it?

thanks.

@pfefferle This is awesome. Matthias, you’ve been really amazing at bringing ActivityPub and the Fediverse to WordPress and moving it forward. I’m excited that I’ve started to do more work in this space, which you can see here on my blog. I want to see more and more people take ownership of their content. #activitypub #fediverse #wordpress

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@wjmaggos yes, you can enable it on any WordPress.com plans, even the free ones. We are also heavily working on bringing a better reader experience to WordPress, but this might take some more weeks/month.

I recommend you to read and subscribe the @activitypub.blog to get pinged on every new release and the general progress!

I pay for ghost for now but also mastohost because ghost doesn't have mobile app (or hashtag) support yet AFAIK.

@pfefferle @activitypub.blog It's a really great thing and has brought my joy for blogging back. It's awesome to see how a post is shared and discussed on the fediverse. So thank you :)

@pfefferle @activitypub.blog You’ve created something brilliant. Thank you for the plugin. It adds a whole new dimension to my WordPress site.

@pfefferle congrats!

[phillycodehound@indieweb.social]

@pfefferle @activitypub.blog Wow! This is a HUGE achievement!

[petitmote@toot.aquilenet.fr]

@pfefferle yeah, I've been using the pligin for a few years. But I might lose WordPress one day, as I don't like how the project is lead, and I think it might be time for a simpler web.

@wjmaggos @activitypub.blog my friend @alex has developed a plugin that lets you publish to WordPress using any Mastodon app of your choice. However, this functionality isn't available by default on WordPress.com's free plans. You'll need to upgrade to a paid plan that supports installing plugins.

@mschfr totally! just yesterday I checked the stats of my blog 😉

[wjmaggos@liberal.city]

@pfefferle @activitypub.blog @alex

very interesting. I wonder if it would work with @moshidon. I'm gonna try it out.

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@wjmaggos @activitypub.blog @alex @moshidon I have to check this one. never heard of it before! and yes, definitely try to play around with all of that before thinking about a change. we are still heavily working on that and every feedback is very welcome :)
