WordPress has announced official support for ActivityPub, a feature that allows site owners to connect their WordPress sites with federated platforms like Mastodon. Automattic, the parent company of WordPress, has added the ActivityPub feature to its hosted sites, enabling site owners to tie into the fediverse. This move comes as major platforms like Mastodon, Tumblr, and Threads are adopting ActivityPub in response to concerns over social media monopolies. The integration of ActivityPub into WordPress sites means that blogs can now be followed on Mastodon and other federated platforms.
