🔥 Pretty cool. The official WordPress Plugin has seen over 6,000 active installs by websites.
I THINK that once they cross 10K+ they may qualify to be a "featured plugin" and get key placement on the WP site. Also impressive that they now support 27 (!) languages...

My single-author blog, with very light activity, has been toying with the idea of doing this but as I just post a link to my blog posts manually, it wasn't clear to me there was much value in doing this? Am I missing something important?

Very true, but I think getting to over 10K active installs is one key metric for it becoming a "featured plugin," on the site, no?
Nick Bohle 🇪🇺
The 6k active installations are misleading, as this plugin is also included in WordPress.com (as an optional feature). I’m curious about the adoption rate there.
Check out the FediDB statistics. https://fedidb.com/stats

Apologies, but the downloadable .png statistics are not useful. Instead, please find the screenshots below.

@NickBohle @tchambers @pfefferle None of them are super accurate, I'm afraid. There's overlap between the Active Installation number and the number of sites hosted by a8c. Anything on FediDB, and sites like it, relies on pinging instances, so there's a huge long tail of low-traffic sites that they don't pick up.
Monthly Active Users is probably a more meaningful metric—we're in this to make it a rewarding experience that folks want to come back to!

Thank you for your service. ✊

@obenland @NickBohle @tchambers FediDB is pull by default, so it should not matter if a site has much traffic or not. That is why I think the "Monthly Active Users" is as inacurate as the installation number, because the data source is the same...

@obenland @NickBohle @pfefferle
In theory, could the plugin itself sent info home if it were anonymous usage information with zero personally identifiable information? Ithought jetpack already did this.
And maybe with permission allow plugin users to agree to add their site or blog to some dashboard of fediblogs?
Matthias Pfefferle
@tchambers @obenland @NickBohle we actually do that for WordPress.com installations (now that I write that: we have to check if the ping still works after the full rewrite and domain change of fedidb), but this is a one time ping, to simply "register" the instance.

I follow several federating blogs, just a simple way to see the entire article via my social media experience. Also it can enable fediverse comments, which are just better. Lastly each article when federated becomes instantly engable, liked, boosted, shared, directly via social.

@pfefferle @obenland @NickBohle
Thanks Matthias. Helpful note.
Matthias Pfefferle
@tchambers @obenland @NickBohle oh I have not seen the jetpack part, we actually ping fedidb from WordPress.com (if that was not clear in my last answer)... 😉
Nick Bohle 🇪🇺
Stupid question, but it is possible to include FediDB into the Update services of WordPress core (WP Admin > Settings > Writing > Update services)?
Matthias Pfefferle
@NickBohle @tchambers @obenland the problem is, that fedidb does not (yet) support update pings. the ping we currently have is "only" to tell fedidb that there is a new instance.
Matthias Pfefferle
@NickBohle @tchambers @obenland (By the way, no question is a stupid question 🙂 )

LOVE LOVE LOVE the #ActivityPub for #Wordpress plugin (even if these days I’m so busy I rarely have time to blog)
