Ghost is federating over ActivityPub to become part of the world’s largest publishing network

Not sure if this has already been posted since it’s kind of old news (early 2024), but I think that’s exciting. I’m currently looking into blog software with nice webgui and I might wait for this to become real. Looking at the announcement page, they seem to take it seriously and there’s continuous merged PRs since April until recently regarding AP on their GitHub.

    Awesome! Once this is out, I think I will migrate my blog from WriteFreely to Ghost. I hope I can reduce disruption for existing followers though…

      I think there’s no way to remain at the same domain with a different Fedi service unfortunately :/

        You can’t self-host Ghost? I’d like to stay on the same domain indeed, not wanting to also mess up folks subscribed to RSS.

          You can selfhost Ghost, but hosting different APub service with same domain messes up federation.

            Exactly, you could probably forward your RSS feed to the old domain but that would get a little hacky.
