"Looking ahead at 2025

What do I plan to do in 2025?

My enthusiasm for the Fediverse keeps growing with each passing day. In the coming weeks, I plan to write about:

  • my experiences self-hosting with GoToSocial
  • PeerTube (the Fediverse’s alternative to YouTube)
  • The Friends plugin for Wordpress by Alex Kirk, which allows you to put your Wordpress site at the center of your online activities
  • Mobilizon: a Fediverse project that helps you find, create and organize events
  • Matrix.org: a Fediverse-adjacent open network for secure, decentralized communications

And so much more! There are several Fediverse projects like Hubzilla and Pleroma that I keep hearing about and have yet to try."--

"activitypub wordpress plugin" three words that don't belong together . I want to blog on the fediverse, but i don't want wordpress.

I haven’t used it myself, but I’ve seen Ghost mentioned as a great alternative to Wordpress.

You may also use one of the Fediverse macroblogging services for blogging: Friendica and Hubzilla allow you to write and design texts without a character limit. WriteFreely and Plume are also available specifically for blogging.

It works well though 🤷‍♂️

i don't want wordpress.

Me neither, but a lot of folks do (or at least think they do), and if this makes it an approachable gateway into the larger fediverse for them, I'm all for it.

They can always switch to something better, later.
