I’ve long been thinking about writing some technical things I didn’t find easily on the internet down somewhere.

I don’t want to use a platform like medium as I’d like to have control over my data. I’m already selfhosting diffrent web services like a password manager (vaulwarden), audiobookshelf and more in docker behind a reverse proxy. So whatever software I decide on should have a docker image available.

It would also be rather nice if the software would play nicely with the fediverse, so from some quick searching it seems that WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin would work nicely.

It there some other software I’ve overlooked that I should also consider?

    Oh okay, so you’re saying that the only way to only allow people to comment with fediverse accounts also involves manually approving all of them? That’s a bummer, hope wordpress fixes that at some point.

      I think the comments work fine when viewing them from Mastodon etc. but to have them show up under the article on my Wordpress page I currently have to manually approve them in the Wordpress admin page. It is either a configuration mistake I did or something that the activitypub plugin for Wordpress could maybe improve, not sure.

        That is actually interesting to know. Could you maybe link a blog that is using the plugin so I can see how it looks both on the Wordpress page and on Mastodon?

        What I realized is what I really would like is for the blog to present itself to lemmy as a community and each blog post as a post in lemmy. So everyone that has a lemmy account somewhere could comment it and follow the blog just like a community on an instance. But I don’t think there is a plugin currently available like that. So maybe the best I can do right now is what @[email protected] is doing and posting the blog entry as a lemmy post aswell.

          https://wedistribute.org/ is an ActivityPub enabled Wordpress site.

          However, currently you have to follow individual authors as the Wordpress AP addon is geared towards Mastodon style user following.
