@Kye @anildash Um, I *did* read the article and it says that the ActivityPub *plugin* is now available on Wordpress dot com, but still needs to be manually configured and is not on by default.

@jwz @anildash It's been available on WordPress.com as a plugin since March. This is about wide availability without needing the plugin.

@Kye @anildash That is literally not what the linked article says,

@jwz @anildash You're right. The article is hot garbage and seems confused, and I read my own better understanding into it.

Here's the announcement from March when they added the plugin for plans that supported it: wordpress.com/blog/2023/03/17/

The official announcement of the new thing is better-written: wordpress.com/blog/2023/10/11/

""On Free, Personal, and Premium sites, you can enter the fediverse through your settings (see how below); for Business and Commerce sites, simply install the ActivityPub plugin and follow the prompts to set up your profile." (free, personal, and Premium don't support plugins, so they couldn't support AP before)

@Kye @jwz it's not as easy as it should be, it's not as hard as installing a plugin on an instance you run yourself. it's within range for people who run these kinds of sites.
