I just established a monthly sponsorship of @syncthing / https://syncthing.net/

Go sponsor those open source dependencies/projects that you want to keep!

This is a post to find out how to reply from WordPress to a post on ActivityPub/Mastodon/Fediverse while mentioning people using their mastodon handles. In this example I mention @leobard , @gromgull , and @bobschi trusting on our mutual goal to advance human knowledge in a sea of idiocracy by supporting open source and the fediverse.

How-to? Just mention the person in the text using the format “@ name @ example.com” (without spaces) in the article text.

WordPress ActivityPub will automagically transform this

to a html link when rendering on your WordPress page
to a mastodon link when publishing on the Fediverse

I see I am not alone looking for end-user documentation for the WordPress ActivityPub plugin.

I collected some ideas here: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/issues/2016
