That bots bio says "if you would like Microsoft to bring devblogs officially to the fediverse send feedback here" so I think it's not actually federated nor official
It's not official but it is federated, demonstrably.
The bot's posts are. Microsoft is not posting their content in a federated way. So I think it's very misleading to say the blog is federated.
Yes, that was the point of my post - can now follow the blog directly.
Well, they're using Wordpress, and Maho has activated the Wordpress ActivityPub plug-in to enable following it. Currently to comment on them you need to login (I guess with MS account?), so yes, would need it to be on official MS involvement for that change to happen, rather than something Maho has done in his spare time, because that would need an organisational change.
