Well the part that excites me is that Ghost is one of the biggest newer CMS's started after Wordpress. Ghost is also open source so at least the work they do can be reused into the future (unlike say Threads or Flipboard) and we will suddenly have the ability of a lot of large parts of the web to be able to switch on federation without much effort. Look at all these large entities that use Ghost. Everytime one of these big players joins the fediverse there is this overflow effect onto little community players who might have chosen to use Ghost or WordPress or Flarum etc a long time ago and suddenly without the individual sites having to do much they can grow a whole new audience. So in short, I don't use Ghost and am not personally super excited by the project, but I am excited to see who it ends up bringing in!
Ghost was originally just for blogging, but they recently decided to take on Substack directly so now they do both. I think Buttondown originally came out of Mailchip being shitty and then they were also taking on Substack so I think this move is that if they team up together and also with the fediverse they have a shot at directly competing with Substack (in the VC minded way I assume)
Do you know what it's called?
ah thanks for this. So lemmy is doing something wonky then with how they auto complete tags in a description field and then are not actually doing what one would expect with that... Can you tag an account in the description of a post in https://azorius.net?
it works fine in Photon, so it seems like its just a lemmy web front end issue. I didn't realize till I looked in this other client that it worked
Any recomendations for ROMs to try? I just installed it but I don't really know the world of ROMs
still have no idea what you are trying to say...
what Fedi language from Mastodon are you referring to?
oh weird I just looked at it from https://phtn.app and I see it is indeed a tag. it doesn't show at clickable from the web view... I guess I need to spend more time understanding how the different front ends actually work
I ran across this exchange with Ghost CEO John O'Nolan on the Product Hunt announcement:
