How to connect your WordPress blog to millions of Fediverse users

Did you know WordPress has a native setting to connect your blog to the Fediverse? With one simple toggle, you can instantly expose your posts to millions of active users.

There’s a simple setting that will automatically expose all your posts to 12.2M accounts and 964,290 active users. That’s the current size of the Fediverse — a group of independent platforms and initiatives interconnected by the ActivityPub protocol. In practice, this means users from one service can follow, like, and even comment on posts from another. It’s truly revolutionary!

Setting It Up

In your WordPress admin area, navigate to Settings and look for the ActivityPub option. Click there and follow the steps to make your site part of the Fediverse.

Using It

Now, every time you write a new post, you’ll see the Fediverse option under the Post tab. From there, you can choose how you want the post to appear across the network.
