Free event at 11 am PT today (in 90 min) on switching to Ghost and Outpost https://luma.com/mp1i5386#Ghost #Outpost #Substack

Still writing on #Substack? Just call me a slur.

oh hey, another Ghost + Outpost publication (not substack!)https://www.autonomynews.co/"Autonomy News is a new worker-owned reproductive rights and justice publication co-founded by Garnet Henderson and Susan Rinkunas, featuring original reporting and sharp analysis that applies a human rights framework to issues including abortion, contraception, and gender-affirming care. Garnet and Susan are among the most trusted reporters on this beat in the U.S. Combined, they have more than two decades’ experience, plus unparalleled sourcing and strong points of view. Their writing has appeared in The Nation, ELLE, The Guardian, and The New Republic, and more. They first met at VICE, where Susan edited Garnet’s work."#Ghost #Outpost #Substack #Abortion #WorkerOwnedMedia

@minsoochoo I completely appreciate that conundrum. There are other alternatives, too. You can even self-publish.I used to write on Medium:https://markwrites.io/why-i-left-medium/Then I moved to Write.as:https://markwrites.io/i-should-have-self-hosted-to-begin-with/I’m willing to help anyone leave Substack. If you ever want help, feel free to reach out.

Here’s a fun bookmark for you. The Willard Library in Indiana has 24/7 ghost cams The research room and stairway cams are especially creepy.https://www.willardlib.org/research-room#Ghost #Library #Spooky

@skinnylatte Blimey, a full text RSS feed. I enjoyed the cozy game article, few titles there going straight on my Steam list.

@koteisaev I chronicled my issues w/ Ghost x YunoHost last year. Basically Ghost up to Aug 2025 (through v5) was on Ubuntu / MySQL... then recommended moving to Docker for v6 for federating & analytics.YunoHost runs on Debian / mariaDB so a volunteer has been manually patching packages.I got a separate VPS last year and manually installed Ghost via CLI. When they announced the move to Docker I gave up self-hosting it (I know 0 about Docker) and happily signed up for https://www.magicpages.co

@Josh yep, which can be a bit of a challenge to get one's head around without some technical background info.

@djmitche @ike fwiw this is not the case with Ghost/Tinybird analytics (though I know some people integrate other third party systems)

Ghost and WordPress announce deeper social web collaboration: Major publishing platforms join forces to advance long-form content integration with ActivityPub protocol, preparing for Ghost 6.0 launch. https://ppc.land/ghost-and-wordpress-announce-deeper-social-web-collaboration/ #Ghost #WordPress #SocialMedia #ContentCreation #ActivityPub

@[email protected] @[email protected] we're (NodeBB) Canadian! Let's make it happen, easy to consume RSS feeds to pipe to an install of NodeBB and publish to the fediverse. We'd be open to sponsoring the hosting of it for a year or more. Let's talk.

@7leaguebootdisk @notyourfanboy @molly0xfff @davetroy Glad to hear you think Mastodon is improving.Thing is, it is not so much about what Mastodon is now. It's about what public social media needs to be. And we all have a role in building it.

We're incredibly honored to announce that #Ghost (@[email protected]) has become a formal sponsor of Fedify through Open Collective! This is a significant milestone for our project, and we're deeply grateful to @[email protected] and the entire Ghost team for their support and recognition of our work in the #ActivityPub ecosystem. Ghost's social web integration built on #Fedify is a perfect example of how open standards can connect different publishing platforms in the fediverse. Their backing over the past months has been invaluable, and this formal sponsorship will help ensure Fedify remains sustainable as we continue to develop and improve the framework. If you're building with ActivityPub or interested in federated applications, please consider joining Ghost in supporting open source development through our Open Collective: https://opencollective.com/fedify Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us maintain and enhance the tools that make the fediverse more accessible to developers. Thank you for being part of this journey with us! :fedify: ️

@Blort haha I'm way too distracted by the AI generated nightmare of a rocket in the image And the launch pad also looks like a bowl of spaghetti turned into concrete 🫣

@[email protected] no worries, and thanks! Will do.

@johnonolan @julian @matt @pfefferle more than meets the eye

@julian @liaizon @tantek.com oh, but, yes, I can upload all the photos and share them. There are a lot!

@[email protected] ah, then I'd say mission accomplished.

@julian They say they want to build Ghost against, direct quote from the link:Mastodon, PixelFed, Buttondown, Flipboard, Lemmy, WriteFreely, Misskey, Threads, and many more.In practice, I guess they've only looked at Mastodon so far. So they'll build Ghost against Mastodon.Once that's done, they'll pick the next project on the list, probably Pixelfed, seeing as it's the second one mentioned, advertised a whole lot on Mastodon itself and, I think, the second biggest decentralised project in the Western Fediverse.Then they'll discover that Pixelfed works quite different from Mastodon, not to mention that it's still constantly changing and shifting, so they can't do that work once and be done for all eternity to come.They'll either end up with a half-arsed implementation because a lot of what they'd have to do would clash with Mastodon compatibility, totally surprisingly, or drop Pixelfed and look for the next one, or they'll decide that Mastodon compatibility covers some 65 or 70% of the Fediverse already, and everything else can be swept under the rug without losing too much audience.I can promise you that they'll never built Ghost against nodeBB. Even if they somehow found out that nodeBB exists and supports ActivityPub, they won't get to it.And I'm sure they won't build Ghost against anything that's significantly older than Mastodon or forked from something that's significantly older than Mastodon. This means that Ghost will be compatible with Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) either just barely so and by chance or not at all. I mean, they haven't even mentioned Friendica by name.CC: @Johannes Ernst#Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #ActivityPub #Fediverse #Mastodon #Pixelfed #Friendica #Hubzilla #Streams #(streams) #nodeBB #Ghost
