βWe wanted our magazine to be followable on Mastodon without asking editors to leave Joomla or learn another admin panel. Joomla Fediverse finally made that workflow feel coherent.β
Joomla Fediverse is a publishing server for Joomla, not a Mastodon replacement. It lets your site publish articles into the Fediverse, receive moderated replies, and keep identity, editorial control, and operations inside Joomla.
Keep discovery, editorial control, moderation, and operational status in Joomla instead of spreading the workflow across a second platform.
Expose site and author actors from your Joomla domain so readers can follow your publication without sending them to a separate social server.
Publish Joomla articles into the Fediverse directly from your existing editorial workflow, without moving authors into a second publishing system.
Receive replies and reactions from the Fediverse and review them inside Joomla instead of exposing your editors to an unmanaged inbox.
Check public URL readiness, plugin state, scheduler health, and actor setup from one dashboard with Joomla-native status tiles.
Adjust excerpt, image, hashtag, and link handling per article or category when a publisher needs more control over what remote readers actually see.
Support small editorial teams with several local author identities before moving up to organization and channel-style publishing accounts.
Use organization and channel-style actors where a newsroom, association, municipality, or institution needs more than a single personal author presence.
Apply domain allow/block rules, stricter Joomla permissions, and clearer admin accountability for sensitive moderation tasks.
Send webhook events for operational workflows and integrate Joomla Fediverse into external moderation, monitoring, or publishing automations.
The extension stays inside Joomla's administration model so site owners can work with familiar list views, edit views, and dashboard modules.
The Free tier gets a Joomla site onto the Fediverse. Personal adds deeper editorial control and moderation. Pro adds governance and automation for organizations and teams.

βThe important part for us was not just publishing outward. It was being able to review replies, keep our own domain identity, and explain the process to non-technical staff.β
βThe Pro features made sense as soon as we needed domain policies and automation hooks. It still feels like Joomla, which matters when a site has to stay maintainable for years.β
Install the package, configure the site, create an actor, and publish the first federated article with the current step-by-step manual.
