Do you use Mastodon? Do you have a WordPress site? Starting today, you can use the Jetpack plugin to automatically publish your posts to your Mastodon account.

When writing new posts or editing existing posts in the WordPress editor, you have the option to automatically share that post (alongside with some text and an image) with your Fediverse followers.

Give it a try and let us know what you think! We'll continue to iterate on the feature in the next few weeks, and would be happy with any feedback you may have. :)

Note: we've developed the feature with Mastodon in mind, but we know there are dozens of microblogging tools allowing you to post to the Fediverse today. Our integration already works with some of those tools out of the box, but not all. We're definitely aiming to support other aspects of the Fediverse in the future.

And another note: maybe you'd rather have your site become its own ActivityPub actor? That's possible, too! You can install the ActivityPub plugin, and each author on your site will have their own ActivityPub account, where each one of their new posts will be pushed.

@jeremy no Jetpack for me. Number one to make your side slow.

@redegelde When was the last time you gave it a try? We do continuously work on improving performance for it, so you may be happily surprised :)

Another alternative would be to try the Jetpack Social plugin: it includes the auto-posting functionality and nothing else, so may be a better fit for those who are only interested in that.

@jeremy now two month without, a bles. Jetpack is a bloated plugin. It comes loaded with more than 30 modules. A module is like a plugin within a plugin.

Most of the time, you will probably only need a few of the modules. The majority of users do not even need 90% of what JetPack offers. You donโ€™t need it.
I just want stats so Koko does this now for me

@redegelde Yes, I'm quite familiar with Jetpack, as you can imagine. :)

It does come with multiple modules indeed, but only a few are active. The rest will not impact your site's performance as their code doesn't load until it's needed.
Did you experience issues with the Jetpack plugin when you tried it a few months ago? If you did, and are willing to give it another try, do not hesitate to let us know if you run into issues again!

That said, if you're only interested in trying the auto-posting functionality and are not interested in the full Jetpack plugin, you still have the option to use the Jetpack Social plugin I mentioned in my other post. It only includes that functionality, so that should put your mind at ease.

@redegelde I'm happy to say that a lot of that has changed in the past 6 years!

Of course, some things will not change; the connection to WordPress.com, for example, is an essential aspect of how Jetpack works and the services it provides. I understand that's something some folks would rather not have.

Good news is, there are other ways to link up your WordPress site with the Fediverse, like the ActivityPub plugin I mentioned in my first post!

ActivityPub

Connect your site to the Open Social Web and let millions of users follow, share, and interact with your content from Mastodon, Pixelfed, and more.
