So... if the backend gets moved over to Wordpress, and Wordpress can already federate, I guess this means Tumblr is coming to the fediverse? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Wordpress federation is pretty one directional, you can follow a blog from mastodon, but you can't use your blog to follow other people.

    I understood you could, with the friends plugin:

    If you also have the ActivityPub plugin installed, you can follow people on Mastodon and other ActivityPub-compatible social networks.

    Interesting, I didn't realise that.

    However I assume they will be migrating them to wordpress.com, which is their proprietary hosted solution, as opposed to wordpress.org, which is the open source software. Plugins don't work on wordpress.com free accounts, only paid ones. I believe outward federation is integrated into .com though.
