How do you actually find fediverse bloggers

Oh Ghost looks really nice. It's pretty slick. It seems to be geared slightly more for creators than consumers in the initial UI, but it's not hard to start digging around.
It'd be nice if I could sign in as a user and save people to follow, but at least I can bookmark them and add them to rss. I like it - this is a great source!

You can configure it to make your author page also your ActivityPub profile (compatible with Mastodon). Once people subscribe to that author account, they will get notified of new posts and see them in their timeline. But IIRC there’s no support for historic entries, i.e. people will only see new entries from the moment they subscribed onwards.
E.g. my blog is available as @[email protected] within the fediverse. If you go there, you’ll most probably see an empty profile. Only when you follow that account, you’ll see future entries pop up in your timeline.

I think it only shows as empty, as the server won't recieve posts unless at least one person is following it.

Oh sharkey (misskey fork) they have a lookup popup, where you can paste any ActivityPub post and it will fetch and display it. Very useful, and if someone shares a link to something Activityoub compatible, it will automatically render under it.

@RagingHungryPanda WordPress is integrated with the Fediverse through the ActivityPub plugin.

read.write.as shows posts from users on that platform. maybe a good place to start looking. at any rate, it's pretty ad-hoc and manual because, while it federates, you're not going to see activity other than posting.

Well, activitypub, the protocol that all these platforms uses is really just a fancy way of transporting activitystreams, a standard for social media posts. AS describes that an

Oh cool!! Yeah I definitely tried it on a few silly ones just because lol. Now somebody's just gotta try Sharkey, Misskey, MBin, uh... GoToSocial. Probably a bunch more that I don't know about. ActivityPub is so neat!
