I almost deleted it but decided an edit would be more fun. I’m glad I didn’t delete it now 😊


That seems like an interesting idea. But even if it dosen’t look like Wikipedia I don’t really like the “look and feel” of MediaWiki for what I want it to be.

But posting it on a private lemmy instance seems like a really nice thing. As noted in another comment that is probably the route I will go for now.


That is actually interesting to know. Could you maybe link a blog that is using the plugin so I can see how it looks both on the Wordpress page and on Mastodon?

What I realized is what I really would like is for the blog to present itself to lemmy as a community and each blog post as a post in lemmy. So everyone that has a lemmy account somewhere could comment it and follow the blog just like a community on an instance. But I don’t think there is a plugin currently available like that. So maybe the best I can do right now is what @[email protected] is doing and posting the blog entry as a lemmy post aswell.


No, but I will check it out now!

Edit: Sorry for the double response… I got an error the first time I hit Submit.



I’m actually already using mediawiki for my own notes, but the quality I write down for myself is not as good as I want to publish. 🙈

I also don’t find the style of mediawiki that nice and was specifically looking for something different that makes things look a bit more polished just from the styling itself.

But I suppose it would also have it’s benefits using a software I’m already familiar with. 🤔


Is WordPress with ActivityPub Plugin a good setup to host my own technical blog?
I've long been thinking about writing some technical things I didn't find easily on the internet down somewhere. I don't want to use a platform like medium as I'd like to have control over my data. I'm already selfhosting diffrent web services like a password manager (vaulwarden), audiobookshelf and more in docker behind a reverse proxy. So whatever software I decide on should have a docker image available. It would also be rather nice if the software would play nicely with the fediverse, so from some quick searching it seems that [WordPress](https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress) with the [ActivityPub](https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/) plugin would work nicely. It there some other software I've overlooked that I should also consider?

If you are on a smaller instance you should probably ask the admin(s) if they are okay with something like this, it would put a lot of extra strain on the server and might overload small instances.

I didn’t know that existed and now I love it and started up a docker container for it!

Thanks! :D
