Is WordPress with ActivityPub Plugin a good setup to host my own technical blog? (programming.dev)

I've long been thinking about writing some technical things I didn't find easily on the internet down somewhere.

I don't want to use a platform like medium as I'd like to have control over my data. I'm already selfhosting diffrent web services like a password manager (vaulwarden), audiobookshelf and more in docker behind a reverse proxy. So whatever software I decide on should have a docker image available.

It would also be rather nice if the software would play nicely with the fediverse, so from some quick searching it seems that WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin would work nicely.

It there some other software I've overlooked that I should also consider?

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.
