#Ghost

"meeting people in real life remains one of the best ways to build trust and relationships ... by getting the #NodeBB, #WordPress ActivityPub plugin, #WriteFreely and #Ghost developers together and recognising themselves as the ‘longform’ people. This group of developers getting together this way helps with the various projects becoming more interoperable, and better support for longform content in the #fediverse."
-@laurenshof in https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-report-102
#fedidev #TheLongformPeople

Social Networks are good for marketing, not good for distribution of longform content says @johnonolan CEO of ghost.org
With ActivityPub interactivity is added to longform.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Rest assured, I have not installed any new Fediverse software since my last post (although I admit YunoHost makes it really tempting).

I'm currently in the process of moving my #Ghost blog from https://blog.elenarossini.com (hosted on a Ghost Pro plan) to my own self-hosted instance. Basically, I just have to re-upload all the images and videos for 33 posts. 10 done / 23 to go.

🙋🏻‍♀️ Can you help a newbie out ❓

Once I'm ready to unveil my new blog – hosted at a subdomain on my site – how do I redirect traffic to it?

(it's gonna look identical, just a different URL, aka different subdomain).

How do I create a redirect from:
subdomain1[dot]elenarossini[dot]com (the GhostPro plan)
to:
subdomain2[dot]elenarossini[dot]com (my self-hosted Ghost)

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance 🙏

#AskFedi

When I booked my train for #FOSDEM in November I was intimidated: will I feel like a fish out of water, since I'm not a developer?

Around that time @ilja recommended I check out @yunohost.

On Dec 17 I signed up for a VPS, installed #YunoHost and in the span of a month I'm now running:
1) a #GoToSocial instance @elena
2) my own #Pixelfed @ele
3) a #LinkStack
4) a #Ghost blog (upcoming)

So I'm a little less intimidated (but still a newbie).

Excited to connect with so many familiar faces 😊

🏕️​ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 37 ✨​

I have installed #Ghost on my personal website, uploaded the theme I'm using on https://blog.elenarossini.com and moved over all the posts.

All the media files (photos / videos / bookmarks) are broken/in need of replacement, so I'm giving myself a month for the transfer (I've got 33 articles to fix).

Why did I do it?

I'm spending 31 dollars a month on a Ghost(Pro) plan. That's ok, I figured if I give up on 2 takeaways a month, that covers it.

The issue wasn't financial. It was about control and ownership of my content.

If I missed a payment or if something happened and I couldn't take care of it, I risked losing all my content. In the blink of an eye. This thought has been haunting me for months.

I will need to pay about $15/month to MailGun to deliver my self-hosted Ghost posts as newsletters. But that's totally fine. I feel like I'm now fully in control of my content and that feels incredibly empowering and liberating. One less thing to worry about.

Thank you ​ for empowering me to do this! ❤️​

#MySoCalledSudoLife

@mensrea @bloor yes indeed, I'm OBSESSED with ​

0 coding / dev skills and in the span of a month I'm now self-hosting my own #GoToSocial and #Pixelfed instances, #Phanpy, #LinkStack (https://elena.social) and soon two #Ghost blogs. Ask me anything 🤗​

I voted for Ghost’s support of ActivityPub in the Product Hunt Golden Kitty Awards category of Community & Social.

#NodeBB: "We're not alone in this journey to interoperate with other decentralized services.

#Discourse has a working plugin.
#Ghost is building out in the open.

It's always been a bit of an informal competition between us, and we always checked in on what the others were doing.

The funny thing about #ActivityPub (#TheEqualizer) is that at the end of the day, the overarching goal of seamless communication breaks down any barriers between competing organizations."

RE: https://community.nodebb.org/post/102756

Nice to see continued progress https://ghost.org is making towards ActivityPub integration.

Fediverse suggestions request: I'm looking for platforms and likely hosting for blogging. I've heard of #ghost and I know WordPress is also supported.

I'm looking to do two things: first, write about likely tech politics and open source. This will likely be a conventional old school blog.

Second, possibly separately, I'm looking to write up notes from my physics studies. This will necessitate solid LaTeX support.

But uh..

#Substack is basically #Ghost but not self-hosted, is that right?

Meh

What has been on my mind today: the high costs of digital sovereignty and privacy.

I quit #Substack and pay 30€ a month for a Creator plan on #Ghost (approx. 360 Euros a year).

I quit Dropbox in favor of #Proton Unlimited (drive but also mail, calendar. VPN). 119 Euros/year.

I nuked my Google Analytics accounts in favor of #Plausible (90 Euros/year).

I'm HAPPY to pay for these services & yet I'm highly aware of my privilege.

#BigTech won't fade in popularity anytime soon bc it's free 😩

Wondering how much work it would be to stick together #Fedify and an as-of-yet-unidentified #PDS framework to have a #Ghost blog be on both #ActivityPub and #Bluesky natively at once.

As a side note, most of the new features added in this #Fedify release were commissioned by #Ghost.

https://hollo.social/@fedify/01937890-0cbd-7bee-97eb-08918829d091

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. 😄

For at least a few weeks now #Ghost powered newsletters in #Feedly (at least on Android) are all really narrow. Temporary workaround is to switch to landscape orientation. This is a relatively new situation, they were fine a month or two back, don't know if it was a Feedly or Ghost change that broke things.

I wrote a thing! It's about self-hosting very tiny Ghost publication on a shoestring - with instructions!

Posted into THE FEDIVERSE VS. CORPORATE SOCIAL MEDIA @the-fediverse-vs-corporate-social-media-mobileatom

What I don’t like about the #Wordpress implementation of #ActivityPub is that I see the whole damn post, long-form and unformatted, in my feed. Let’s hope #ghost does it better.

@index Great news indeed! After you successfully implemented #ActivityPub inside #Ghost, will you consider creating official iPhone, iPad & Android apps for the platform‽

The rare sighting of a cyclist being attacked by a ghost in broad daylight.

#amsterdam #ghost #photography #cycling

@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.

@index if this integration of Ghost with Activity Pub works well, I'll possibly choose as the open source tool to start blogging again.

It was one of the tools I took a look at on my search

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.
#FediForum #Reflection #Ghost #Fediverse

https://talkingwithmachines.com/what-a-week/

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.

https://activitypub.ghost.org/mapping-out-activitypub-support/

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.

And you can get the newsletter by following @index

https://activitypub.ghost.org/its-all-about-the-infrastructure/

Newsletter platform and Substack rival @ghost announced earlier this year that it would join the fediverse, and now it has made good on that promise by federating its first newsletter.

Writes @Sarahp
for @TechCrunch “By offering a federated version of the newsletter, readers will have more choices on how they want to subscribe. That is, instead of only being able to follow the newsletter via email or the web, they also can track it using RSS or ActivityPub-powered apps, like Mastodon and others.”

I'm finally posting this one 😅

#mastoart #artistsonmastodon #art #ghost #ghostband #ghostbc #Terzo #fanart

I switched servers just under a week ago so I figured I should do a proper #Introduction post. I’ve been on Mastodon since 2017 but never actually written a proper intro!

My name’s Sally Monster (she/her) and I’m a British northerner who immigrated to Southern California a bit over a decade ago because I fell for guy named Viss on Flickr after he posted a photo of a #HalfLife HeadCrab he made out of bread!

I’m a bit of a #KitchenWitch at heart; sharing #Food with people I love gives me a sense of wellbeing. I believe wholeheartedly in BenGingi’s motto, “We are all bread.”

I’m happiest when I have soil under my finger nails, I have a favorite tree, I talk to birds, I chase creepy crawlies and I love growing weird and wonderful #Plants especially #CarnivorousPlants and #SpicyPeppers.

I’m into #Art, #Painting, #Drawing and #Photography and will post pictures often of the things that I love. I have all sorts of random collections and obsessions; #Dinosaurs, robins, #Radiohead, #Monsters, the colour green, #JurassicPark, #Cookbooks, #TheVentureBros, #Ghost, #GothicHorror, #FolkTales, cassowaries …you get the picture.

I love it here on Mastodon. I have met so many amazing people here and I am so grateful for this community. Sending love and hugs out to all of you. 💚 🧡

A nice review of my high #fantasy /attempted #comedy story The Last Philosopher.
