If you have a blog powered by WordPress, you can connect it to the Fediverse so that people on Mastodon etc can follow your blog, comment on posts and share them.

You will need to install a free open source plugin called ActivityPub For WordPress:

wordpress.org/plugins/activity

Note that WordPress the platform is different from wordpress.com the hosting site. Wordpress.com does not allow installation of this kind of plugin (unless you pay an expensive fee).

But you don't need to use wordpress.com to use WordPress! Because WordPress is free open source software, much every hosting provider in the world offers a WordPress site for a few dollars a month, and this kind of indpendently hosted WordPress is what the plugin will work on.

@feditips I just set this up, didn't work at first, but got it working after getting my host to add some whitelist rules in mod_security (incase anyone has issues). I could follow but the follow wasn't being accepted by my wp install.

My only issue now is that images don't come across, which means following from pixelfed doesn't work. Text posts fine to my mastodon profile. But no images.
