However, when I commented, it didn't appear on his Wordpress blog but it did appear under "community post". He had a comment on his blog that didn't appear in the community. It might be an issue of synchronization?
OK, thanks! I must have mangled it when I pasted it.
How did you get lemm.ee to connect to it? I cannot open it on my instance; it just gives me "The server returned this error: couldnt_find_community." When I try to run a search it just brings up these comments. I think the URL format in the community name is breaking Lemmy, but clearly it worked on your instance so I'm confused.
I didn't do anything special, just typed the correctly fomatted link (as yours).
It doesn't work on bookwormstory.social either (pointed out here). Being it a new feature, bugs are expected.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !pfefferle@lemmy.sdf.org
Good try, bot. Good try.
Huh it works on lemm.ee, lemmy.ca, and even the canonical instance .ml. But not on bookwormstory.social.
I wonder why that would be? But also, I'm not really worried. Maybe 0.19.0 will fix whatever's broken.

Are comments from other platforms supposed to appear beneath blog posts like that? I suppose it depends on how WordPress has implemented their federation. If it is supposed to work, it might also depend on how often WordPress pulls in information from other sources; I wonder what their default federation settings are? Does a blog automatically federate everywhere? Or would they have a more allow-list model to prevent comment sections becoming a moderation nightmare for blog authors?
I suppose I should look this up đ
EDIT: âand, in turn, receive replies from those platforms that are transformed into blog comments.â
So it might be a matter of how often that blogâs âcronâ tasks run (background processing that runs on a timer), and perhaps if the blog author allows comments (from the fediverse and otherwise) and if they have to manually approve them before they display.
I see it too, tried subscribing. I see one post, and no comment from you
I run a little webcomics hosting platform and I really want to do the same thing, just havenât taken the time to do it yet. Seems like an obvious win so everyone can follow along using the platform of their choosing.
Earlier this year, WordPress.com owner Automattic acquired a plugin that allowed WordPress blogs to be followed in the fediverse â the decentralized social networks that include the Twitter rival Mastodon and others.
As a result, it launched version 1.0.0 of the plugin, allowing WordPress blogs to be followed on Mastodon and other fediverse apps.
That means anyone using the hosted version of the open-source WordPress software now has the ability to tie into the fediverse, connecting their blog to federated platforms like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, and others.
By using the plugin, the blog itself can also become the userâs profile in the fediverse, instead of having to set up an account directly on a federated app, like Mastodon.
To implement the plugin on Free, Personal, and Premium WordPress.com hosted sites, you simply head into the Discussion section with Settings from the blogâs dashboard and enable the toggle titled âEnter the fediverse.â From there, youâll make note of your default fediverse name, which references the blogâs domain (e.g. âopenprotocolfanblog.wordpress.com@openprotocolfanblog.wordpress.com.â) That profile can then be shared with others so they can follow it on Mastodon or other platforms.
That could expand the fediverseâs numbers, as well, given that Automatticâs own statistics indicate that over 409 million people view more than 20 billion pages each month on WordPress.com websites.

That's not WordPress.org
It would be amazing if we could have a "WordPress community of the day/week" bot so we could discover them.
This is so exciting.
I miss the 'next blog' button on Blogspot that would randomly take you to another blog. It was great.
I found one under communities so far and if you're curious it's !pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com It appears to work just like any other community.
However, when I commented, it didn't appear on his Wordpress blog but it did appear under "community post". He had a comment on his blog that didn't appear in the community. It might be an issue of synchronization?
Not sure if it's a typo or a front-end rendering issue. But I see your link wrong. The correct one would be:
!pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com
For lemm.ee:
https://lemm.ee/c/pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com

This URL loads but gives me that error: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com
This link doesn't work correctly: !pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com

Just an FYI that the platform is having is little security issue with a plugin atm
Care to elaborate?
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Can you follow rss feeds on the fediverse?
