    So…on my WordPress blog I used to say “follow me on twitter!” with a link to my twitter account. Then folks would click on it, and they’d get updated about my new articles published to WordPress by twitter (because I’d write a post on twitter linking to all my new articles).

    Since the fediverse appeared, I now say “follow me on mastodon!” with a link to my mastodon account. Then folks click on it, and they get updated about my new articles published to WordPress by mastodon (because I write a post on mastodon linking to all my new articles).

    So now if I have this WordPress ActivityPub plugin, what do I say instead of “follow me on X?” And what should it link-to?

    This is a question of UX. I could explain to someone on mastodon how to follow my WordPress site using ActivityPub (tell them to copy the URL into their mastodon instance search field). But is there any one link that will magically work for all users to subscribe-to WordPress in whatever their ActivityPub client is?

      It’s possible to have a remote follow button what asks for the domain of the person’s ActivityPub instance.

          I am not aware of a specific implementation for WordPress, but it would be possible to add. Maybe open an issue for it on the main repo?
