Honestly I don’t think Automattic has done enough to tell people about a crazy new feature for WordPress blogs.<\/p>\n
Here’s the feature.<\/p>\n
You can use WordPress to write a blog post that appears on Mastodon.<\/p>\n
You can read about it in a WordPress post<\/a> I wrote to demonstrate the new stuff.<\/p>\n And here’s the same post on Mastodon<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s the same thing.<\/p>\n This is revolutionary, a legitimate breakthrough.<\/p>\n There’s a good thread of comments<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n And to be clear, I didn’t make this happen, it was done by some brilliant developers at Automattic with the power of ActivityPub<\/a>. I just get to use it, and it gives my product WordLand<\/a> a great feature, for free.<\/p>\n It’s pretty freaking excellent, if you ask me. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Honestly I don’t think Automattic has done enough to tell people about a crazy new feature for WordPress blogs.
