FediEmbedi

FediEmbedi is a wordpress plugin to display your social media activities from different Fediverse services: 

Example

Example shortcode for mastodon

[mastodon exclude_replies="true" limit=5 pinned="true"]

There really are people working on the fediverse.

It’s just nobody came along with $12 million and said, “Here you go.”

It was more like someone started doing some shit for free on their own time, alongside their real day job.

Competing with VC-funding at all is a feat in and of itself.

But it’s also why Bluesky can become a social media site nearly overnight. They had $12 million and could afford to employ a small, capable team of devs to build the thing, and that’s their entire job. With benefits.

DIY is competing with that. That will never not be amazing to me. I don’t care if they “win.” It’s not about achieving some endgoal, to me, where the fedi is actually the “only social media out there.”

It’s that the fedi is in the running at all and it’s basically doing it without playing the game that capitalism claims is necessary.

Other options, here are the defaults:

'only_media' => false,
'pinned' => false, //only display pinned status
'exclude_replies' => false,
'max_id' => null,
'since_id' => null,
'min_id' => null,
'limit' => 5, //mastodon limit is 20
'exclude_reblogs' => false,
'show_header' => true,

Any of these can be overridden in the shortcode, for example:

[mastodon exclude_reblogs="true" exclude_replies="false", limit="20", show_header="false"]
