WordPress Blogs can now be followed in the Fediverse with the ActivityPub plugin

Automattic and WordPress design engineer, Matt Wiebe, recently announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the ActivityPub plugin has released its version 1.0.

The integration also enables replies from the Fediverse to be received back as comments on the WordPress blog.

Search is slow and you have to specify the instance, so I suspect it's not being indexed.

With this plugin, Wordpress will apparently become even more integrated into the Fediverse. I should try it out when I get the chance.
