We make good use of Mastodon’s interoperability with WordPress. When we recently moved our Vivaldi Tips (@tips) blog from vivaldi.net to vivaldi.com to start translating the tips, we noticed that things were a little off on the Mastodon side. Luckily we have the amazing @thomasp in our team, who ironed out every single issue we found.

One of the problems we had was the ActivityPub plugin not detecting the language tags our translation plugin (WPML) added to the posts on WordPress. Language tags allow people on Mastodon to subscribe to posts only in the languages they can read and use the translation feature, so this was an important issue for us to solve. Read about the solution Thomas came up with in his blog: thomasp.vivaldi.net/2025/01/14….

At @Vivaldi , we make browsers. Powerful browsers, with more functionality than others, but still browsers.

What we are not is:
1. An OS company.
2. A search company.
3. An ad company.
4. An AI company.

None of our major competitors can really say the same. We focus on doing one thing really well.

If you like that, give us a try! If you are already with us, please share with your friends!

Now, where have I heard that before? Powerful, Personal, Private. Indeed, that is @Vivaldi !

When Big Tech copies both your (non-AI) features and your slogan, I guess you have to be doing something right!
