atomicpoet,

Hey, check out this graph! Take a moment to look at it because, honestly, it's pretty amazing. The growth of WordPress on the Fediverse is truly impressive.

In Q4 2022, there were 924,888 posts, and fast forward to Q4 2023, we're seeing a whopping 2,998,430 posts. Can you believe that? It's a 324% increase year over year!

I've always had a hunch that ActivityPub-enabled WordPress would make a big splash, and if this chart keeps going up, it looks like my prediction might just come true!

Any evidence this represents actual fedi activity? People actual engaging with all these “posts in the fediverse”?

Strikes me that a lot of that blog content is both effectively and often literally spam.

atomicpoet,

@jerclarke Apologies, but you'll have to do the research yourself to verify your guess. I'm simply sharing a graph.

Large pre-installed base, simple plugin install, immediate benefit without extra cost.

This is a recipe for success.

It might work even better if all those discourse servers adopt the sama strategy as they represent existing, subject focused online communities.

oK, here we have the backend.
