Holy shit. There’s a plugin that allows you to publish on your blog using Mastodon apps. You can now publish content on your WordPress site directly through the mastodon app. This is HUGE for mobile experience.

Federating My Website
This post explores how I’ve added enhancements to my site to better-integrate with the Fediverse, and also how I’m using the Mastodon app to publish content direct to my WP site (!)

So blog is directly on the fediverse now! Moving forward this should auto-boost to my existing profile on Mastodon so I can still share with my followers there, but I no longer need to manually cross post. Still have to manually share on X, but one step at a time.
once @pfefferle makes progress on the migration from Mastodon, maybe I can completely switch off that account. Getting closer!
PS: I’m Using the booster plugin – going to share a PR soon to help with the stumbling points I had in using the plugin.

So I have some questions about the state of the fediverse on WordPress.
Is it possible to migrate my Mastodon’s followers/following to my WordPress site (assuming I’m using it as an ActivityPub source)
Is it possible to actually follow people and get some kind of feed, interacting with that account with other users?
I think the answer is still solidly “no” to both of those, but it would be good to get some context on how people are dealing with this today.

Today is mostly about budgeting and finance. I pay myself on the 10th and 25th, and lean into Profit First ideology.
If I have time, I’ll probably get moving on a project I won earlier this month. I have a few retainers I kinda need to organize.
Oh, and Siren 🥰

I’m similar yet legally distinct from a WordPress developer. Hire me to fix your similar yet legally distinct from WordPress problems.

I know I shared this yesterday but it makes me so happy that videos can embed directly from shared links on my site now!

And on that note, I’ve muted several WordPress terms from my feed 😅.

Published a podcast episode today, and scheduled another one two weeks from now. I’ll be working on next week’s on Thursday, I think.
Also met with some people who I hope will be able to work with me soon!
Feels really good to start finally getting back to “normal” after becoming self-employed again.
