The #ActivityPub plugin for #Wordpress is an absolute game changer when it comes to reader engagement. I published a #blog post yesterday and it already has 8 comments and 7 of them are from #Fediverse. The total number of comments is actually much higher, the plugin doesn't handle reactions to comments yet.
Meanwhile the blogpost has received 4 views from #LinkedIn and 2 from #Facebook.
#LinkedIn is this ghost town where the algorithms break a sweat to try to pump around the self-promotional platitudes so that those still active don't notice their chamber echoes because it is hollow.
@smallcircles LinkedIn penalizes posts with links outside the service even more than Facebook. When I include a link, I can bet that it will be seen by almost no one.
I'm thinking about ways to workaround it like including a picture with a link to the blog saying that the article can be found there. In a way t's ridiculous, but it may actually bring more readers than posts with links.
