WordPress blogs can now be followed in the fediverse, including Mastodon

It would be cool if there was a lemmy community for good blogs to follow. I like the idea of following blogs but I don’t know how to find interesting ones.

Good to see more platforms starting to focus more seriously on the fediverse, plenty of great little WordPress.com blogs out there that would be perfect candidates for federation

Kind of a bummer that only the content you post after installing the plugin actually gets published anywhere. But that’s federation.

So, can we follow blogs from Lemmy now?

The headline is misleading in that the plugin has existed for years. It does seem a little more polished lately.

On the other hand, the Friends plugin which can act as a fediverse client used a lot of CPU and didn’t reliably publish replies last I tried it about a month ago. I hope it improves, but I can’t recommend Wordpress as a full fediverse participant just yet.

Still, right direction!

Absolutely. I do have a site running on Wordpress that currently cross-posts to Mastodon and it would be nice to consolidate.
