ActivityPub is embraced by:

  - Threads  
  - Flipboard  
  - WordPress  
  - micro.blog  
  - NodeBB  
  - PeerTube  
  - Pixelfed  
  - GoToSocial  
  - Akkoma  
  - ...and countless smaller projects
It is by no means just Mastodon.

This isn’t quite true. WordPress.com announced they were planning on ActivityPub support, but that is a separate entity run by a commercial company (Automattic).

Their plan was to support it specifically on Tumblr, as well as helping fund an open source plugin for it; there have been no plans to integrate it into the WordPress software directly.

I believe they’ve also deprioritised it as they did significant layoffs recently.


What do you mean? WordPress already supports ActivityPub through their plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

I follow a few blogs on Mastodon just fine (for example John Carlos Baez's Azimuth, https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/), it's just like an RSS reader in your timeline.


My point is in terms of activity. I’m familiar with all those services. I recommend doing a percentage of each vs total activitypub content.

I would also discard services that auto post to the fediverse but are not actively used by the majority of users as such.
