There now is a poll plugin for #WordPress that has full #Fediverse support.

Since a few minutes it is finally officially available on WordPress.org.

Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for support the initial development of this piece of software. And thanks to @pfefferle for his ongoing work on the WordPress ActivityPub plugin @activitypub.blog !

I am happy to receive reviews and am ready to fix stuff in case issues should arise!

Advocates for #ActivityPub - IF YOU HAVE A #WORDPRESS SITE, have you installed the ActivityPub plugin? wordpress.org/plugins/activity…

At the State of the Word address this week, Matt Mullenweg was asked about support for the plugin, and he commented that less than 5,000 sites had installed it. So he wasn't sure how interested people are in it.

So... if you have a WP site, let's start installing that plugin and making more sites available via ActivityPub! 😀

I updated my WordPress plugin that warns your site's visitors if they don't have an ad-blocker installed.

Over in #WordPress news, we shipped in Jetpack our Social Sharing feature for Mastodon.

This will allow site owners to link to their Mastodon profile and automatically (or schedule) shares of their blog posts to their fediverse followers.

Automattic is both doing this and working on ActivityPub support for WordPress as two side of the coin. Whether or want your site to natively be on the fediverse or share to other profiles, we want you to do both.

RE: ActivityPub Plugin for WordPress: let's assume I would work on a feature that would allow you to follow a complete blog, what would be the best identifier for that account? `@feed@example.org`? `@blog@example.com`?
What are your ideas?

"Last March, the ActivityPub plugin had just 700 users. Today it has grown to more than 2,000 active installs...

Thanks to Elon Musk, the number of downloads from my #ActivityPub (#WordPress) plugin and my followers on Mastodon have increased at least tenfold!” Pfefferle said in a post on his blog in January 2023. “This inspired me to work more actively on the plugin again and some great changes came about.”

There's a tiny, but very significant change to the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress. Exciting times for blogging. 😀
