Now that social media is scattered, I think it's finally time to set up an Indie Web-esque "post (even short stuff) on my own site and automatically post it to Mastodon, Threads, et al.

I've got a WordPress site and I'm not looking to move off of that anytime soon; does anyone have any good resources on how to make that happen?

@brad_frost it's honestly too bad...WordPress's founding premise was exactly that! But yea...it's not easy to make that happen on WP these days.

@brad_frost @Edent has written some stuff that might be relevant to you…
He writes a lot so you might need to search his blog

Yup, the JetPack plugin will post to Threads, Mastodon, and LinkedIn.
The ActivityPub plugin turns your blog into a full AP client.
For BlueSky, you can either use RSS2BSky or set up a bridgyfed account from Mastodon.
All a bit tangled!
Happy to chat if you need advice. -

@iambateman @brad_frost why not use the ActivityPub plugin and ditch mastodon altogether? It'd be like posting the same thing twice to the Fediverse anyway...

@brad_frost Wordpress has automatic tools now that will fully federate it and/or post to a Mastodon account. I am not sure about Threads.
