Anyone here successfully get a Ghost blog federated with ActivityPub?

Been researching this and sounds like it’s perhaps still in beta. I want to set up a website/blog and leaning towards installing self-hosted Ghost on a VPS. Would Ghost even be the right thing to use if I have no interest in email newsletters? (continued)

@andrewbriscoe I just saw a guy using write.as and it had integration here too. It looks pretty neat. And the software is available to run on your own like ghost but I imagine far less bloated with all the dependencies of JavaScript and node like Ghost has.

@seatek Thanks Mark! I’ll check that one out in the morning. Ghost is very fast even on the cheapest server but it may be more than I need, especially since I’m not sure if I want to do a newsletter.

@andrewbriscoe I’d be really curious hearing your thoughts on the comparison when you do!

@seatek Not finding many reviews about write.as but looking at the site it seems to be cheaper but also less features. Possibly less-maintained as well.

I’ve learned more about Ghost and it really seems like it will fit my needs and more. Initially, I just wanted a blog but it can also do a membership program and they don’t take a cut of that. Found out the way fediverse integration will work too.
