This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?
Check them out!
Facebook replacement: Friendica
Instagram replacement: Pixelfed
YouTube replacement: PeerTube
Spotify replacement: Funkwhale

It’s also worth mentioning that you can integrate your #Wordpress or #Drupal blogs into the fediverse, too! So, you can natively integrate your articles, and replies on the fediverse can show up as comments on them!

@sean I've been trying to get that Wordpress plug in to work for some years now! If they ever iron out the bugs on that and put a management interface into the dashboard, that would be great!
@adam @sean I got it working after some head scratching. For WordPress You need the WebFinger plugin too. It doesn't say that anywhere in the docs but it only worked when installed that. I wrote a blog post about it too which you can find at @donncha@odd.blog (of course) or on the web at

I don't know why, but the images in the post weren't all shared, but my photoblog posts are shared properly. They only have one image.
@adam good luck. Might be some odd bug you're experiencing.
Admittedly, it probably needs some love. If there are any PHP devs willing to pitch it, that project would really benefit.
