This is going to be exciting. Turns out that any WP blog/site can be turned into an ActivityPub server with a setting under the site’s Discussion Settings.
This is exciting because this blog’s profile can show up on Fediverse social networks such as Mastodon (and soon Threads). Specifically, you can follow Winter Rant at this handle: @rant.vpalepu.com on any social network that implements the ActivityPub protocol.
Here is the Winter Rant profile, as seen from my @krishnavp@mastodon.online profile (and yes, that is me following it).
Technically, this post is a test to see if this shows up on my mastodon.online feed 🤩 I am over the moon about this. If this test works, I will never have to explicitly share my blog posts on social media networks – because it will just show up on its own social media feed! I will still likely repost content from this blog’s feed, but never as an original post. How cool and seamless is that!
