Introducing Write: a new way to post, built for writers

Turn Your Blog Posts Into Podcast Episodes
Miguel Torres
If you’ve been blogging for a while, you’ll probably know the WordPress.com Reader – a calm place to catch up on the blogs you follow, without an algorithm deciding what you see.
This month, we added a new Social Feeds section to the Reader . Now you can bring in the people you follow on Bluesky, on Mastodon, and across the Fediverse. Then read, react, and post, all without leaving the Reader .

One place to read, with more people to follow
The Reader has always been one place to catch up on writing across the open web: WordPress.com blogs, Jetpack blogs, any blog with an RSS feed. That part hasn’t changed. What’s new is the company you can keep there.
In the left navigation, you’ll find a new Social Feeds section, with entries for your connected accounts. Connected social accounts include:
Bluesky : and the wider ATmosphere, including Blacksky and other Bluesky‑compatible platforms.
Mastodon : bring in your timeline from any instance, big or small.
The Fediverse : via your own blog. If you have a WordPress.com site, you can join the Fediverse without creating a new account; your blog is your identity. Don’t have one yet? Start a blog, and you can join too. Our Social Web page is a good starting point if that’s new to you.
Pick a network, sign in once, and your timeline shows up in the Reader .
Already connected? You’re in
If you’ve ever used Jetpack Social to share your posts to Mastodon or Bluesky, those connections are already there. Open the Social Feeds section, and your accounts are waiting.
Read, react, and reply
Inside a Bluesky or Mastodon timeline, the actions are the ones you’d expect: like a post, repost it, quote it, reply to it. Same keyboard, same window, no second app.
Compose and post
The Reader is a place to write now, too. Click Compose , type a short post, attach an image, and send it to your followers on Bluesky, Mastodon, or the Fediverse.
When a thought outgrows a social post
WordPress.com is a tool for creators, and we didn’t want to box you into the character limits of any one network. So when a draft starts running long for a social post, the Reader offers to hand it off to your blog. You keep writing in a fresh post draft, with all the room you need, and once you hit Publish , it reaches your followers on Bluesky, Mastodon, and the Fediverse all the same.
Try Social in the Reader
Head over to WordPress.com/reader, expand the Social Feeds group in the sidebar, and connect an account. It’s free, and the support doc walks through the details if you’d like a closer look.
If you’d like more on how WordPress.com fits into the wider Social Web, our previous posts on the Social Web Foundation and our recent ActivityPub feature update are both good follow‑on reads.
Happy reading, and happy blogging!

Not in the jetpack app reader yet? Or is there a mobile reader app?

It’s not available in the mobile Jetpack app indeed. That’s something we may add to the app in the future though! Until then, you can load the WordPress.com Reader in your mobile browser, it should work just fine.
