       Alright #CalcKey junkies, I'm a Mastodon instance admin and I'm an engineering group lead at Automattic (think the company of WordPress' founder) who is leading the work to add Mastodon as a supported service for our Jetpack Social product. That said, what's the sell to get me to spend more time here?

       @liaizon@social.wake.st it could be a few different things. What we've added/adding for Mastodon is a "Share to Mastodon" button ( see an example at https://kraft.blog/2023/02/joining-the-student-advisory-board/ ) and we're adding support for our auto-post function where when you publish a blog post, an excerpt, some media, and a link is published on your socials. For Twitter, we also had things like tweetswarming where we'd suck in a thread and import it into a new post for those who did huge Twitter threads and realized it should be on their site. Also, had the reverse. Write a post and have it auto-posted as a Twitter thread with sensible breakpoints.Those latter two were really because of the char count limits of Twitter which I don't think would apply to the Fediverse platforms I've checked out so far.

       @matthieu_xyz @liaizon@social.wake.st yes! That's in the works too. We brought on board the gentleman who created https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ to bring ActivityPub support to WordPress sites. He's working now on integrating it for all WordPress.com sites and making it a better experience. Right now, it isn't feature-complete enough for me, personally, to say it's ready for folks who aren't early adopters and okay with rough edges. The sharing and auto-posting is a bit easier to do since there is the existing model of doing it on legacy social media platforms. On the Tumblr side of the company, same thing. Want to get it to be ActivityPub-compliant. I don't work over there but I imagine that's a pretty big effort and I don't know where it stands off hand. Long answer but yes. Having a site published using the ActivityPub protocol is on the horizon.
