Imagine publishing once and instantly reaching engaged readers across dozens of platforms—without ads, algorithms, or corporate interference. That’s the power of the Fediverse. You can expand your reach to millions of potential readers while maintaining full control over your content and audience relationships. WordPress.com’s newest ActivityPub features make joining this thriving network of independent creators simpler than ever.
Trying something new can feel overwhelming, so we’ve added a step-by-step guide that walks you through everything ActivityPub can do. When you turn it on, you’ll get a quick tour of the basics: what ActivityPub is, how it helps you connect your blog with the wider Fediverse, and where to find all your new settings. We’ll even show you the special editor blocks you can use to highlight your Fediverse profile right on your site.
When your blog appears on other Fediverse platforms like Mastodon, these new settings help shape how your content and identity are presented. Each platform might display things a little differently, but customizing these options helps your blog stand out and feel more welcoming to potential followers.
Here’s what you can personalize:
Curious about who’s following your blog from across the Fediverse? Now you can see a list of your followers, complete with profile details and the last time they interacted with your site. It’s a simple way to keep track of your growing audience.
If you haven’t enabled ActivityPub yet, it’s easy to get started!
Just head to Marketing > Connections in your WordPress.com dashboard and activate the Fediverse feature. Once it’s on, you’ll find all the new settings under Settings > ActivityPub.
We can’t wait to see how you use these new features to connect with even more people across the Fediverse!
