There’s a plugin for WordPress that lets blogs talk to the Fediverse, and it’s sponsored / owned by Automattic, the parent company of WordPress. You can follow a publication, see its articles pop up in your social feed, and comment on them from your own instance. If a blog has comments enabled, your responses will show up on the other end.

I’m definitely implementing this on my blog, even if it’s just so I can see my own posts on Mastodon and Lemmy.

  A potential workaround: quote-repost your blog post via Akkoma or Firefish, mention the community you want to post the blog post on, and add the title on the beginning

I’m not sure federating is retroactive on any of these platforms. So any posts you made prior to installing the plugin won’t show up anywhere outside of your actual WordPress blog.

  That would be spammy and would blow up most people’s feed.
  
  I saw one guy publishing his whole backlog and he took up like 50 posts on the feed and I was just like “really dude?”.

  Don’t seem so. At least for the moment.
