This is a two-part article (part 1, part 2). The 'indieweb' is a collection of individually-owned and independent web sites (as opposed to pages on centrally managed services such as Facebook). The fediverse is a collection of social networking sites like Mastodon that support multiple user accounts, operate independently but are connected to each other (constituting a 'federation'). They are similar in origin and intent, but use different underlying protocols (ActivityPub for the fediverse, with Micropub and Webmentions for the indieweb). The first part of this article lists a number of ways to bridge the two systems: POSSEing, pterotype, wordpress actvitypub, and Bridgy Fed. The second part looks specifically at using WordPress Indieweb plugins and Bridgy Fed; "it works pretty smoothly," but of course if you're not using WordPress then you will need a different approach.
