Recently, the company behind WordPress published a plugin able to connect a general WordPress website with the Fediverse:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
This is great since it's almost a zero-conf plugin that helps a lot of organizations to reach the Fediverse without doing anything special. Further info for organizations and governments about Fediverse itself:
It's unclear to me if WordPress VIP already has this possibility, like WordPress community edition and WordPress.com:
https://wordpress.com/support/enter-the-fediverse/

Benefits
- the plugin is stable, made by Automattic, not a random developer
- wider audience
