There already are working plugins for that. When I @ a Lemmy community in a WordPress post it gets posted to that community. And comments from Lemmy or Mastodon are also visible on WordPress.
I think proposals like Bridgy Fed and Minds.com are better, bridges run by independent groups, instead of changes being forced onto the underlying engine. When the latter is done, devs need to make changes based on the smallest common denominator, slowing or even halting individual development of environments. Bridges at least are developed adjacent to multiple environments instead of having to change fundamentals.
@auster@thebrainbin.org may I ask you to expand in what you mean by "same underlying engine"?
If you're talking about ActivityPub then it's a open standard which isn't beholden to any one organization. It's like saying HTML is bad because websites are all forced to use it as the underlying engine.
Underlying engine would be WordPress itself in this case, I believe.
I had never thought about it, but it makes total sense and would gap the divide between the web and social networks 🫂

Sure. But as long as Matt Mullenweg is still in charge, WordPress is toxic.

Lemmy is a tiny part of the fediverse
