The work #ghost is doing to their #fediverse integration is pretty interesting. 😎 Like having long and short distinction, for consuming content, on the UI. It sounds obvious, but not as wide use. Maybe #Substack does this? 🤔

Ghost versatility may make it excellent for single user instances.
Example, same thing you use for publishing long form content is same tool you use to spam about pugs. 🐶 All without polluting the streams. Very nice. 😄

Open source Ghost cms now has an official account on Bluesky.

They even validated their account with official domain handle

If you have a domain, you can do the same and use it for all atproto based apps

@craignicol Know what you mean - and I moved from #Mozilla to #Vivaldi for just this reason.

Hate to see the crazy turmoil happening at Automattic, hope they reorient, but if not, there are plenty of CMS's and #Ghost@ghost is building out its ActivtyPub features in a very promising way.

What a week!

I discovered the FediForum unconference on Mastodon and spent the next three days learning about ActivityPub, web fingers and hooks, and the history and politics of federated social media from some of the originators. I’ll have to level up my technical skills, again. I spent a few hours finding, learning about, and following folks across Mastodon instances and then closing scores of tabs.

@Flipboard I discovered that #Flipboard can not follow #WordPress blogs in the #Fediverse.

I tried following several of mine & it did not work, then I tried to follow @pfefferle@mastodon.social blog (which is @pfefferle@notiz.blog) from the Flipboard app & it also did not work.

I encountered the same error when trying to follow #Ghost (on @index) & #MicroBlog (using @manton) too.

#WriteFreely works though! 😀😅 (thanks @matt‽).

Interesting #ActivityPub implementation roadmap by the #Ghost team: instead of implementing the standard, and then optimizing interop of their implementation with other implementors like Mastodon, they start with making it work with other implementations and then come back to the standard.

Great update from @index

“Now that we've got many of the foundations in place, we're going to shape our roadmap from here around building compatibility for #Ghost with 3rd party services…First up: We're going to focus on getting Ghost to work (well!) with #Mastodon .”

#Fediverse
#SocialMedia

The #Ghost people are doing excellent #ActivityPub marketing with their weekly newsletters, such as today’s. I don’t agree with some of the details of their points of view, but that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, they are doing a great service educating potential users beyond the niche of today’s typical Mastodon users. Recommended.
