## Supported Event Plugins
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
### Events plugin that will be supported at first:
|
||||
Make your events more discoverable, expand your reach effortlessly while being independent of other (commercial) platforms, and part of the growing decentralized web.
|
||||
With the ActivityPub Event Extensions Plugin for WordPress, your events can be automatically aggregated and displayed across decentralized platforms like [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org) or [Gancio](https://gancio.org), without any extra work.
|
||||
Forget the hassle of managing multiple social media accounts just to keep your audience informed.
|
||||
|
||||
This plugin is not an event managing plugin but an add-on to popular event plugins. It extends their functionality to fully support the [ActivityPub plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/).
|
||||
With the ActivityPub plugin people can follow your website directly and engage with your events just as they would on social media - liking, boosting and even commenting if you enable it.
|
||||
You retain full ownership of your content. By integrating into your existing setup, it ensures no extra work is needed while enhancing your events' visibility across the Fediverse.
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
With the Event Federation Plugin for WordPress, sharing your events is effortless and automatic!
|
||||
Once you create an event on your WordPress site, it is seamlessly shared across the decentralized web using the ActivityPub protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="center">
|
||||
<img src="./.wordpress-org/event-activitypub-publishing.gif" alt="Logo" width="250" />
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
Your events can be automatically delivered to platforms that fully support events, such as [Mobilizon](https://joinmobilizon.org/), [Gancio](https://gancio.org), [Friendica](https://friendi.ca), [Hubzilla](https://hubzilla.org), and [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/).
|
||||
These platforms build public event calendars utilizing multiple event sources, including your site. Updates are also handled automatically whenever you make changes — no extra work for you than managing the event on your own website.
|
||||
|
||||
<p align="center">
|
||||
<img src="./.wordpress-org/decentralized-event-calenders.gif" alt="Logo" width="250" />
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
Even platforms that don’t yet fully support events, like [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org), will still receive a detailed, well-composed summary of your event.
|
||||
The Event Federation Plugin ensures that users from those platforms are provided with all important information about an event.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
This plugin depends on the [ActivityPub plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/). Additionally, you need to use one of the supported Event Plugins. See below.

||||
Integrating popular event plugins with the ActivityPub plugin.

||||
== Description ==

||||
With this event others can automatically aggregate and display events published on your website!
|
||||
Additionally, people who do not want to miss on of your events will not have to follow a social-media account of yours that you maintain on the website of another party (and thereby you push the people to use these platforms), but could just follow your website directly.
|
||||
Following like in social media, including all features you know like boosting, liking or commenting.
|
||||
And the best: as you already publish events on your website, this means no extra work for you.
