Do you know what the “Fediverse” is? Are you in it? Using the ActivityPub plugin (GitHub), any WordPress site (or user) can be federated and act as a client or server in relation to other ActivityPub users and platforms, like mstdn.ca (a Mastodon instance) and edmontonian.social (a Misskey instance) because they all implement the ActivityPub standard for a decentralized social web.

Tomorrow at our July meetup, come learn about ActivityPub, Federated networks, and WordPress with Django Doucet, a contributor to the Automattic-sponsored ActivityPub implementation for WordPress. There is actually a small universe of related plugins popular with the IndieWeb — a community of independent and personal websites based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content.

We’re meeting in the Cafe area of Edmonton Unlimited as usual starting at 5:30pm. For more details and to RSVP (thank you!) go to our Meetup event page.

There’s been a lot of development activity on the ActivityPub WP plugin lately! Here are the details on the latest release:
