    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.

    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!

    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!

    I’ve been cross posting my personally published content on both Twitter, and Mastodon for the last week, mostly to see how interactions with what I post varies now that I have about 1/3rd of the followers on Mastodon. My conclusion? At least for me and my circle, Twitter is dead. ????????

    I’m thrilled to see that Automattic is backing the ActivityPub plugin! This is a big deal for WordPress and it’s future, and it gladdens me to see heavy hitters like A8C contributing to something as important as this.

    My (Very) Basic PoSSE Setup

    So, this micro post is kind of a big deal for me. In spite of it’s casual nature, it’s actually the first micro post I have published on my site. My goal is to use my personal site for all of my content first, and distribute this elsewhere. They call it PoSSE (publish on site, […]

    Your Site As a Central Hub

    I believe we’re on the cusp of turning our personal websites into complete representations of our online presence. This post goes over how I think this can be accomplished.

    I Contributed to a discussion on Shared/Collaborative User Lists in Mastodon

    I contributed to Mastodon by commenting on an issue, expressing strong support for shared user lists while emphasizing their utility in single-user instances. I also raised important privacy concerns, advocating for consensual inclusion and user control over list memberships.
