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! 😀

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?

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.”
