What It Does

Enter the fediverse with ActivityPub, broadcasting your blog to a wider audience. Attract followers, deliver updates, and receive comments from a diverse user base of ActivityPub-compliant platforms.

With the ActivityPub plugin installed, your WordPress blog functions as a federated profile, along with profiles for each author. For example, if your website is example.com, the blog-wide profile can be found at @[email protected], and authors like Jane and Bob would have their profiles at @[email protected] and @[email protected].

Once you follow an author's profile, any blog post they craft will appear in your Home feed. By following the blog-wide profile, you'll receive updates from all authors.

The plugin works with several tested federated platforms, including Mastodon, Pleroma, and Pixelfed. The blog-wide profile is compatible with sites that have rewrite rules enabled.

After installation, only new posts will be available in the fediverse. To start, install the ActivityPub plugin, adjust the settings, and follow your profile on a federated platform.
