Replied to ATmosphere 1.0.0 — Liftoff by Matthias Pfefferle (ActivityPub for WordPress)
When you publish a post, ATmosphere shares it on Bluesky and stores the full article on your AT Protocol account as a structured record. Bluesky replies, likes, and reposts come back as comments on your WordPress post. Approved comments from logged-in readers go the other way and appear as replies under your original Bluesky post. The same conversation lives in both places without you having to copy anything by hand.

I use the ActivityPub for WordPress plugin here on ECS (follow me from Masotdon or similar at @naferrell@social.emucafe.org). Because ActivityPub for WordPress is a key part of this project, I subscribe to the ActivityPub for WordPress blog with my feed reader. Thanks to my subscription, I was able to read ATmosphere 1.0.0 — Liftoff. ATmosphere is a new WordPress plugin which integrates a Bluesky account with a WordPress website, such that “[w]hen you publish a post, ATmosphere shares it on Bluesky and stores the full article on your AT Protocol account as a structured record.” Moreover, “Bluesky replies, likes, and reposts come back as comments on your WordPress post.” I set up something similar by using Bridgy Fed to bridge my ECS ActivityPub account to Bluesky, but why not create a whole Bluesky account? I installed ATmosphere, set up a new Bluesky account (I have a “personal” account for sharing links but it goes mostly unused), and connected it with ATmosphere. Set-up went well. The only issue I had was that I had to manually create a .well-known directory to set up social.emucafe.org as the Bluesky account handle, but it is done — so you can follow this site from Bluesky at social.emucafe.org. (I would offer some sort of guide, but the blog post and WordPress plugin page guides are the ones to follow.)
