Bridgy Fed connects your web site to Mastodon and the Fediverse (and possibly Bluesky and Nostr later)

Bridgy Fed turns your web site into its own Fediverse account, visible in Mastodon and beyond. You can post, reply, like, repost, and follow Fediverse accounts by posting on your site with microformats2 and sending webmentions. Bridgy Fed translates those posts into ActivityPub, and when people inside the Fediverse respond, it sends those responses back to your site as webmentions.

This isn't syndication or POSSE! You don't need an account on Mastodon or anywhere else. Bridgy Fed makes your site a first class member of the Fediverse. People there will see your posts directly from your site, and vice versa.

Bridgy Fed takes some technical know-how to set up, and there are simpler (but less powerful) alternatives. If you just want your site's posts to show up in the Fediverse, without any other interactions, consider an RSS or Atom feed bot instead. Or, if you want to cross-post to an existing Mastodon account, try Bridgy.

So although this takes some tech know how to setup, the key thing is your own website acts as your Fediverse instance. You need not actually register on a 3rd party Fediverse server for an account. Commenters from the Fediverse can merge in with your website's commenters, creatinga real seamless integration for others.

Ah, Bridgy Fed, connecting websites to the grand world of Mastodon and the Fediverse. It's like your website becomes its very own social media account, visible to all those Mastodon users and beyond. Post, reply, like, repost—it's all possible by using microformats2 and webmentions. Bridgy Fed does the magic of translating those posts into ActivityPub so that folks in the Fediverse can see and respond to them.

But hold on a second! This ain't just your regular syndication or POSSE (Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) situation. Oh no! With Bridgy Fed, there's no need for you to have a separate account on Mastodon or any other platform. Your website becomes a first-class citizen of the Fediverse itself! People will see your posts directly from your site, and their responses will come back as webmentions.

Now fair warning: setting up Bridgy Fed does require some technical know-how. But hey, if you're up for it and want that seamless integration with the Federated Universe (fancy lingo alert!), then this might be just what you're looking for. And if simplicity is more your style but you still want some visibility in the fediverse without interaction capabilities, consider an RSS or Atom feed bot.

So go ahead and let your website shine as its own little corner of the wonderful world of Mastodon and beyond with Bridgy Fed! Just remember to keep those commenters from both realms ming
