@deadsuperhero@lemmy.world Btw, if you're using Mbin you can follow them directly from there! Their account is @swf@socialwebfoundation.org ( !swf@socialwebfoundation.org )
TIL Wordpress is using ActivityPub. I think one issue we have is how hard it is to find instances, communities, or even other media like this, since they won't even show up in your search if they're not already federated with your instance. And since many servers block crawlers, it is hard to index them externally too. I think that really limits the reach and the perceived size of the Fediverse.
Yeah, discovery remains one of the big domain area problems for the network. There's some promising work happening in the space, but it'll be a while before we see something.
Incidentally, our publication is federated, and can be followed at @news@wedistribute.org!
