Early next the Ghost blogging platform plans to enable ActivityPub support as a public beta.
https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/22422
It’s not clear how easy this will be try for self-hosting or exactly when the change go into effect on Ghost(Pro).
Earlier, “in March” was mentioned.
The public beta of Ghost 6.0 should arrive yet this month, with a public beta of ActivityPub support.
There's video here from @johnonolan's FOSDEM's talk on networked journalism:

Quick question about the attribution feature here in masto.
Does the link go in the sites header or footer?
Does it have to go on each page, or does it work sitewide if it's a personal blog with only me writing?
TIA
Twice a year I spend some time automating event announcements and blog posts for a potluck group. The rest of the year I just show up and enjoy the events along with everyone else.
Here are the simple steps I use to automate that process with #GhostBlog software.

Bonus: In 2025 Ghost 6 will officially release #ActivityPub support to federate your potlucks!

I did look at #GhostBlog. Was a long while ago, and it's probably changed some since. Might be worth a second look. Thx.
I've just enabled comments on my #GhostBlog. Have anything to add or ask? Type away

#GhostBlog has added #ActivityPub support for groups, which is used by WordPress for subscribing to a whole blog instead of an individual user. They are also used by Lemmy. https://activitypub.ghost.org/welcoming-the-wordpugs/
Ghost's ActivityPub support will include support for directly posting both short-form content like Mastodon and long-form content like blog posts. It's reader will include an "Inbox" view for long-form content and a "feed" for short form content.
Here's their update about the progress, with screenshots:

"When a #new #project is getting #started, the most important thing is to just get going. Start #doing the thing you said #you were going to #do. #Prove that it #works. Prove that #people #care. Prove that the #mission and #purpose you've #chosen is one that #matters. When you #start out, few #people are #affected by your #decisions, and you're lucky if anyone #cares at all about what you're doing." #GhostBlog https://john.onolan.org/democratising-publishing/
I had a change to the #GhostBlog platform merged which will fix upgrading for people who use SQLite as their database and have over 500 posts or so.
@MissConstrue I like #GhostBlog, which does blog/newsletter/subsciptions well, but it doesn’t have the bazillion plugins to make it a do-everything CMS that #WordPress turned into.
For my needs, Ghost has been refreshingly simple and secure, allowing me to focus more on content and less on security-driven upgrades.
If you got tired of WordPress, try out Ghost. If you want to self host ghost, here's my full setup guide. https://www.amarjanica.com/a-masochists-guide-to-self-hosting-ghost/ #blogging #ghostcms #ghostblog
@maaikees If you want someone else to manage it there is https://ghost.org
It bundles newsletter and donation features and is adding native ActivityPub / fediverse support now.
I also came from #WordPress. No regrets.
Progress report on #GhostBlog adding #ActivityPub support. They are close to beta for Ghost(Pro) users. https://activitypub.ghost.org/beta-plans/
activitypub typescript server framework called Fedify announces first stable release. It is being used by the open source Ghost CMS platform. Can't wait to see what other apps are created with Fedify
Github repo here: https://github.com/dahlia/fedify/releases/tag/1.0.0
@ben On the other hand, the #GhostBlog project is going all-in supporting ActivityPub on their blogging platform. They are dogfooding at @index and have a build progress newsletter at https://activitypub.ghost.org.
A year ago, I published a scope on the #GhostBlog forum that there were signs of a native tip/donation feature in development.
Today native tips and donations for Ghost blogs were officially announced!
https://ghost.org/changelog/tips-donations/
Like the subscription feature, it requires a Stripe account to receive the donations.
As far as I'm aware, Ghost doesn't mark up the Stripe fees whether you use their SaaS platform or self-host, unlike Patreon, etc.
