That is exactly what I was describing in my post. Sorry if it wasn't clear.
But in Wordpress these comments then show up as for approval before they are displayed under the article on the Wordpress website itself. Maybe there is a way to configure that better, but I have not found it yet.
Oh okay, so you're saying that the only way to only allow people to comment with fediverse accounts also involves manually approving all of them? That's a bummer, hope wordpress fixes that at some point.
I think the comments work fine when viewing them from Mastodon etc. but to have them show up under the article on my Wordpress page I currently have to manually approve them in the Wordpress admin page. It is either a configuration mistake I did or something that the activitypub plugin for Wordpress could maybe improve, not sure.
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 @Kangie@lemmy.srcfiles.zip is doing and posting the blog entry as a lemmy post aswell.
https://wedistribute.org/ is an ActivityPub enabled Wordpress site.
However, currently you have to follow individual authors as the Wordpress AP addon is geared towards Mastodon style user following.
