New Look, Faster Blocks in ActivityPub 6.0.0

In this version of ActivityPub for WordPress, most blocks received a pretty fundamental overhaul of their technical infrastructure, design, and functionality.

The biggest change is almost invisible—all blocks now use WordPress’ Interactivity API under the hood, shedding a substantial amount of load-heavy scripts. On well-optimized sites, this should lead to noticeably quicker load times and improved web vitals.

Let’s dive in and look at each block individually.

Das erste Grazer Fedicamp

Am Samstag hat in Graz zum ersten Mal ein Fedicamp stattgefunden – ein Barcamp zum Theme Fediverse. Marc und ich haben es organisiert.

Am Abend waren, glaube ich, alle zufrieden – auch wenn das Event ganz anders abgelaufen ist, als es geplant war. Wir wollten vor allem Menschen ansprechen, die das Fediverse noch nicht kennen. Tatsächlich sind nur Leute gekommen, die sich sehr dafür interessieren, darunter André Menrath und Alex Kirk, die Komponenten des Fediverse weiterentwickeln […]

Very important news from #Wordpress: “Our goal for this year is to finalize the full ActivityPub experience — so that WordPress can be used as a first-class citizen of the Fediverse. This means enabling not only publishing to the network, but also following, reading, interacting, and moderating — all in a seamless way that feels natural for WordPress users.” https://activitypub.blog/2025/06/11/our-2025-roadmap-building-the-future-of-wordpress-federation/

Our 2025 Roadmap: Building the Future of WordPress Federation

We’re excited to share this roadmap — there’s a lot happening with the ActivityPub plugin, and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.

We often refer to this roadmap in GitHub issues and discussions, but until now, we haven’t published a full roadmap post — nor a formal changelog. This post is a first step toward keeping the community more informed about what’s planned and what’s coming up next.

Our goal for this year is to finalize the full ActivityPub experience […]

Dear Fedi friends,

By now you might have seen the post announcing the release of my promotional video for the Fediverse. But in case you have boosts turned off, here we go: https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

I posted about it this morning from my #GoToSocial account because I have a 5000 character limit there. And I had so many people to thank for their help. It really takes a village.

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far ❤️
