Integrating popular event plugins with the ActivityPub plugin.

Description

Make your events more discoverable, expand your reach effortlessly while being independent of other (commercial) platforms, and be a part of the growing decentralized web (the Fediverse). With the ActivityPub Event Bridge plugin for WordPress, your events can be automatically followed, aggregated and displayed across decentralized platforms like Mastodon or Gancio, 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. 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 web.

How It Works

With the ActivityPub Event Bridge WordPress plugin, 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.

Logo

Your events can be automatically delivered to platforms that fully support events, such as Mobilizon, Gancio, Friendica, Hubzilla, and Pleroma. These platforms create public event calendars by pulling in events from various sources, including your website. Any updates you make to your events are synced across these platforms—so you only need to manage your events on your own site, with no extra work required.

Logo

Even platforms that dont yet fully support events, like Mastodon, 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. Additionally, you need to use one of the supported event plugins. See below.

Supported Event plugins

Configuration

If youre new to the ActivityPub plugin, its recommended to spend a few minutes reading through its documentation to familiarize yourself with its setup and functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install another event plugin to use the Event Federation plugin?

Yes, this plugin works needs a supported event plugin such as The Events Calendar, VS Event List, or Events Manager to manage your events. It just fills the missing gap between event plugins and the ActivityPub plugin.

What platforms can follow my events?

Your events can be followed on platforms that support ActivityPub like Mobilizon, Gancio, Friendica, Hubzilla, and Pleroma. Even other applications like Mastodon, which dont fully support events yet, will display all important information about the events.

How much extra work is required to maintain my events across the decentralized Web?

None! Once the plugin is set up, your events are automatically sent to all connected platforms or account that follow you (your Website). Any updates you make to your events are synced without additional effort.

Can I still use social media to promote my events?

Yes, you can still use traditional social media if you wish. However, this plugin helps reduce reliance on commercial platforms by connecting your events to the decentralized Fediverse.

Will this plugin work if I don't use the ActivityPub plugin?

No, the Event Federation plugin depends on the ActivityPub plugin to deliver your events across decentralized platforms, so it's essential to have it installed and configured.

My event plugin is not supported, what can I do?

If you know about coding have a look at the documentation of how to add your plugin or open an issue, if we can spare some free hours we might add it.
