The News Site publishes posts to the following channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, Web Push, Bluesky, and Blogger.
We believe in the open web and interoperability between online publishing platforms. That’s why we’re excited about the Fediverse and are committed to shipping features that improve the way your site connects to the open web. Today, we’re introducing Likes, Reposts, and the Fediverse Reactions block, building on our commitment to decentralized publishing.
With the Reactions Block, likes and reposts from Mastodon and other Fediverse platforms are automatically added to the end of your posts (if you’re using the Site Editor). It’s even smart enough to hide itself on posts without Reactions. Here’s a look at Fediverse reactions in action:

For older themes, you can manually add the block to any post or page.
