@gme i didn’t have a Wordpress site back in the day, but I noticed that there were “ping backs” where the comment section of one site cached and previewed a small portion of the comments on a completely different site. Apparently the two webmasters had scripts to crawl each other’s sites. Is that still a thing ?

@b_chocolatey most wp site owners have ping backs turned off since they're primarily used to inject spam.

But wp ping backs is not the same as federating.

That being said there are ActivityPub plugins for WordPress to bring any blog into the federation today.
