With some clever filters in my server, I can now use the WordPress app to reply to posts. It’s a little awkward since I have to copy the link, but still…a step in the right direction.

Okay. Caching problems fixed. Unclear if the blog post formatting issue is fixed though. Hoping that excerpts will show with a link to the post when it’s not a micro post 🤞

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 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.

Looks like Meta kept good on its promise, and has started opening Threads to the fediverse. Looks like it’s opt-in. Clever. Catch up, Twitter!

WPTavern Brings Us Full-Circle By Launching a Forum
WPTavern launched a forum today. How amazing would it be if they federated this?

30 million people on threads overnight. 30 million people have joined a protocol, that if we assume their promise to federate is true, will be joining the fediverse soon. This may age poorly, but it’s hard for me to not look at that as a win for the open web.

Alex Standiford on How WordPress and the Fediverse Can Be Combined
I was featured on WP Tavern, where Nathan and I talked about how the Fediverse has transformed my approach to publishing content online.

I’m finally dipping my toes into an auto-poster setup using the Share on Mastodon plugin:

Fingers crossed that this works as-expected, although I’m sure I’ll end up with some formatting oddities in the short-term. It’ll be worth it, though!

When Twitter Loses, WordPress Wins
I believe that the Fediverse is poised to transform WordPress and usher in a new golden era for the platform.
