Wordpress.org: Automattic entlässt 16 Prozent seiner Mitarbeiter

Um die Zukunft des Unternehmens zu sichern, entlässt Wordpress-Eigentümer Automattic 16 Prozent der Belegschaft.

I wonder how realistic (as in convenient and usable) to run a Fediverse instance that's actually just a WordPress installation with the ActivityPub plugin.
Has anyone tried?

I understand that it may not be the best way to proceed (as WordPress wasn't designed for this) but it could bean easy way to introduce people like me (long time WordPress users but not tech people) to running their own Fediverse instances.

#Fediverse #ActivityPub #WordPress

I guess no multilanguage #WordPress soon. All those good people

I can’t say I’m surprised to see this with #WordPress in decline but I really do feel for those folks affected. https://automattic.com/2025/04/02/restructuring-announcement/

An update about #WordPress :

If you have a WP blog, people can follow your blog account and interact with your blog posts from Mastodon etc. More info at https://fedi.tips/wordpress-turning-your-blog-into-a-fediverse-server

The latest version of WP's Fediverse support introduces migration of Mastodon posts onto WordPress blogs as WP posts. (See thread at https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle/114263501158396609)

BUT unfortunately WP's largest developer's CEO has been behaving, um... unusually It's still unclear how this will resolve, it may be that a fork takes over.

Heute hat mir schon wieder @hgg bei einem #wordpress anliegen geholfen indem mein Suchbegriff mich direkt zu seinem Artikel führte: https://haurand.com/block-themes-generate-child-theme-plugin/

Question, I really need your opinion:

I have red as my brand color (#E00000).

But I also have a more green/teal color as a contrast color, also on darkmode. My boyfriend says it clashes with the red color. And what do you think of the hover effect on the cards?
Personaly I really like the pink hover effect on the cards.
This is not finished yet. by the way.

Can someone please remind me why deleting #WordPress was discussed so much on here a couple of months ago? It was more than an #infosec issue, right? There were ethico-political issues too? I’ve searched past posts and can’t find anything. Thanks.

What are good examples of a #vtuber homepage layout to showcase different...stuff??

And ideally an open source #css or #wordpress theme I'm lazy I don't like working on Website Things anymore.

I really like #WordPress playground and glad to hear about it with @bph on the latest @wptavern podcast:

Very exciting news about #Ghost, the blogging software I use for my website, beta testing their new social web integration! Activating it enables direct interaction with blogs on #Wordpress and soon #Tumblr, #Mastodon and the whole #Fediverse, as well as #BlueSky and #Threads according to their changelog:

As a self-hosting user I'll have to wait for a stable release but I am thrilled!

What a great turnout last night, diverse ages and backgrounds coming together to share their #WordPress journeys curated by Janice & Beccy. One of the attendees (Brian) has written a piece on his personal website;
