The plugin implements the ActivityPub protocol for your blog. Your readers will be able to follow your blogposts on Mastodon and other federated platforms that support ActivityPub.

The plugin works with the following federated platforms:

  • Mastodon
  • Pleroma
  • Friendica
  • HubZilla
  • Pixelfed
  • SocialHome
  • Misskey

    The plugin is great and with mastodon and misskey it works great. If the blog comments are closed, in some cases it is not enough to approve, but you must approve the comment by making any changes to it (from the wordpress moderation panel).

    Personally I encountered a problem with Friendica: since Friendica has native support for following RSS / ATOM feeds, it seems that the RSS protocol prevails over the wordpress / activitypub one. I don’t know how this can be resolved …

    The only sore point is this: I would like to point out that, with this plugin, a private/direct message is not reported in a particular way and therefore, once published, it loses its privacy attributes. Also, if the user deletes the message, the unsubscribe message is not accepted by the plugin and the message still remains crystallized for eternity in the form of a comment in the WordPress blog. This of course happens even if the message is a direct message, therefore the highest standard level of confidentiality existing today in the social networks of the fediverse. Having said that, for a principle of caution related to privacy, I will disable the plugin pending further changes; however I believe that the activitypub for wordpress plugin is a beautiful project and that it deserves further development and possibly further financial support; in fact, the path taken is good and contributes to making the web more beautiful and similar to the decentralized spirit of the origins

      RSS is popular as it is one feed that can be used across numerous networks to make a post if auto-post from RSS is an option. With most plugins, it means adding an extra plugin for every network you post to externally.
