Instagram replacement: Pixelfed
YouTube replacement: PeerTube

@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.
