c/privacy should work, but there is a user named linux that confuses mastodon search, so you can’t sub to the community of the same name. presumably this will get fixed in the future.
It’s also worth noting that communities “boost” all of the comments in a sub, so its very “noisy” to sub to a community. that will also presumably get fixed eventually.
IMHO the best and most supported way is just to post a message whenever you make a post. For example I toot on my mastodon whenever I release a new post. People then that share and reply to that toot.
This is done via simple automation that watches my feed and hits the mastodon API.
For actual blog subscribers I like to stick with regular RSS + WebSub, I don’t see much advantage to ActivityPub integration here.
Not to take away from brid.gy and other more high tech solutions, which I should look into and maybe switch to, but I have a Jekyll site (kind of a mix between a one-person wiki and a blog), and what I do is that I just post excerpts from my posts and add a link to the post. I think this is great because Fedi posts aren’t editable but Jekyll posts are, and my writing is typo-ridden and sloppy so I really appreciate being able to fix things.
I think what you’re looking for is brid.gy, it’s an indieweb<->whatever gateway, where whatever includes ActivityPub. https://brid.gy/
So if you support webmentions on your static site (by using an endpoint outside of your static site which you query to update comments before building the site) you can interface with ActivityPub.
And supporting webmention is definitely two orders of magnitude less complex than supporting ActivityPub.
I don’t think i have energy to do this right now, but i’d be happy to take some time to answer your question if you reach me on IRC/XMPP. Maybe even this motivates me to find time to work on a solution together with you ;-)
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !fediverse@lemmy.ml
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”. It is a common, informal name for a federation of social network servers whose main purpose is microblogging, the sharing of short, public messages.

I commented on your post from Mastodon, but it looks like it is not appearing here: https://mastodon.social/@humanetech/107896980176809142
Paging Drs @nutomic & @dessalines
More federation issues?
I also cant follow @something@lemmy.ml from mastodon, it only says follow pending. stuck there for few months
you can’t follow people, only communities.
i was trying to follow c/privacy and c/linux

This Hugo plugin, is the only one I’ve seen https://git.jlel.se/jlelse/hugo-activitystreams

@kevincox @cyclohexane
Yeah, this is the way, at least for now.

It still sucks when I make a typo in the excerpt.

This would be a very helpful blog post.
