I imagine it means that a Person enabled service allows you to post under your own account as a standalone post, a Group enabled service makes you post under a community or topic instead, mixing with posts from every other participant.
WordPress doing only the former can't be easily or at all compatible with Lemmy, since Lemmy only supports the latter currently
Reddit is an example of a Group system where posts are associated with a group. This is the model Lemmy uses.
Twitter is an example of a Person system where posts are associated with a person. This is the model Mastodon uses.
Some services can do both; like Kbin with their microblogs and magazines.
Sounds like the Wordpress implementation uses the Person system that Lemmy does not support at the moment, but probably works on Mastodon and Kbin (idk for sure).
