In case you or someone you know is interested in moving your newsletter: we can migrate _everything_ for you. Subscribers, posts, paid subscriptions, images, the whole nine yards. It takes minutes, not hours.

@buttondown Any Fediverse integration existing or on the roadmap?

@tchambers What did you have in mind? Spiritually pro (we support webmentions and are working on h-entry support) but don't have a great mental image of what federation itself would look like beyond that!

@tchambers ah, definitely re: the former — has been on the roadmap for a while but I was struggling to find a consistent way to identify a URL or response as a mastodon post. and will poke around the latter more!

@buttondown Cool, think it could be a powerful way to alert users of new articles and encourage readership...

@tchambers @buttondown it would be a game changer to have a newsletter summary auto-posted to my Mastodon account.

With #substack not looking to demonetize fascist and white supremacy content, I’m looking to move my newsletter

@mkilby @tchambers

this one technically is already possible (albeit not through AP, just webhooks!) but I have a great reading list to see what the path to supporting ActivityPub is now like :)

@buttondown @mkilby Keep us posted as you explore…! Folks here can also help with more ideas, or libraries, or solutions…

@tchambers @buttondown @mkilby Literally. This is the other big feature IMO since it gets you Threads by default now too.

@buttondown @mkilby @tchambers Any chance of a comment system? Talking to an author I know and he is under the impression that you don't have one and it's important for his community.

@reflex @mkilby @tchambers I am committing to comments in January! You can quote me on that; it's been a _very_ common request the past 24 hours.

@buttondown Highly recommend looking at micro.blog as a model. Or maybe adding a micro.blog integration which might get you federation functions faster…

@buttondown instead of having trying to guess that something is a Mastodon post you probably need to create an "embed Mastodon post" thing and just assume whatever gets in it is a Mastodon post.
