Comment on Bluesky and Mastodon users can now talk to each other with Bridgy Fed | TechCrunch
arotrios@lemmy.world 1 month agoIt was new to me, and hadn’t seen it posted here - sorry if the language in the headline is misleading. Thanks for the links! I just started researching this after working with some Wordpress -> ActivityPub plugins and was curious if the functionality could extend to BlueSky.

Its all good! Lemmy isnt going to downvote you to hell for repeating something a year old. We are not reddit ;)
How does the wordpress work? I haven’t seen much articles talking about it lately. Can I post from mastodon to a wordpress?

That’s why I’m here ;)
Here’s an article on the integration that goes into decent detail. And here’s the git repo, but you should be able to see via your plugin interface. The developer is very responsive and a great guy.
What I’ve found is that it does enable crossposting, and is a good tool for publishing your content out. Comments do come in if enabled. Subscribing to offsite Mastodon users is very “interesting” however - like being able to see people’s DMs if they’re across servers. There’s also issues with using it with cheaper hosts (Bluehost, I’m looking at you), as certain security settings will disable part or all of the feed.
To me, it feels good to use if your WP has one user publishing content. If you have other users on the site, it could start getting messy on the backend. Incoming spam is also an issue - Jetpack isn’t set up to scan incoming Fediverse content.
