WordPress is federating now - what are your favorite blogs? (lemmy.world)

When I used to blog 10+ years ago I had a killer list of WordPress blogs I followed but as time went on I sort of gave up on the whole blogging thing and forgot about most of them. Now that WP is part of the fediverse I'm curious, what are some of your favorites?

Self-hosted WordPress blogs were actually already able to federate with the fediverse (if the blog admin installs the requisite plugin). The recent news is that blogs hosted on WordPress.com are now also able to federate.

WordPress.com is the name of the hosting service by the creators of WordPress, but you can also choose to host the WordPress software elsewhere (and many do).

Also note that WordPress.org is run by a non-profit organization called the WordPress Foundation which is a separate entity from Automatic, the for-profit business that runs WordPress.com and provides hosting for their own proprietary version of WordPress that costs significantly more than the vast majority of WordPress hosting platforms that provide the unmodified version of the software with all of the features and none locked out behind a paywall.
