The Hidden Power of ActivityPub

Honestly I don’t think Automattic has done enough to tell people about a crazy new feature for WordPress blogs.

Here’s the feature.

You can use WordPress to write a blog post that appears on Mastodon.

You can read about it in a WordPress post I wrote to demonstrate the new stuff.

And here’s the same post on Mastodon.

It’s the same thing.

This is revolutionary, a legitimate breakthrough.

There’s a good thread of comments about this on Mastodon, and if you have questions, consider joining it. Or you can post a comment here and I can try to get you the answer.

And to be clear, I didn’t make this happen, it was done by some brilliant developers at Automattic with the power of ActivityPub. I just get to use it, and it gives my product WordLand a great feature, for free.

It’s pretty freaking excellent, if you ask me. 😀
