ActivityPub 5.8.0 for WordPress is out now! 🎉

This update includes two things I’ve been especially excited about: new email templates and user-specific notification settings.

Emails now have way more information—mentions and direct messages embed the full post, and the refreshed design looks more modern and polished. New follower emails come with a profile card to help you get a sense of who’s engaging with your content.
