WordPress has rolled out an exciting new feature that facilitates blog engagement with users on federated platforms like Mastodon. This breakthrough is powered by the ActivityPub plugin, packed with a variety of functions to enrich the interaction between blogs and their audience.
With this plugin, blogs can now boast dedicated accounts representing the entire blog, rather than individual authors. This not only presents a more cohesive and unified online identity for the blog but also contributes to a stronger online presence.Additionally, the ActivityPub plugin introduces a ‘follow me’ button, streamlining the process for users to subscribe to the blog and receive updates directly on their federated platform.
This user-friendly feature enhances blog connectivity, elevating user engagement and fostering a sense of community. Furthermore, the plug-in allows bloggers to display their followers, offering valuable audience insights and helping identify their most dedicated supporters.But that’s not all! The ActivityPub plug-in also empowers users on platforms like Mastodon to leave comments directly from their own accounts on blog posts. This not only diversifies user engagement but also encourages a wide range of perspectives and discussions.
