I took this photo while on a guided tour of the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul, which were a 1930s Prohibition era gangster hangout. The tour guide was briefly here talking about the caves behind him. They were filled with the wreckage of a flood. I can't figure out where that shadow above him is coming from. These caves are supposedly haunted due to a gangster shootout that happened there.

@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.socialVery exciting news about #Ghost, the blogging software I use for my website, beta testing their new social web integration! Activating it enables direct interaction with blogs on #Wordpress and soon #Tumblr, #Mastodon and the whole #Fediverse, as well as #BlueSky and #Threads according to their changelog:
https://ghost.org/changelog/social-web-beta/
As a self-hosting user I'll have to wait for a stable release but I am thrilled!
I put together this little website that allows you to build your own custom "spirit box"!
Upload any audio file(s), and the app turns it into spirit box style audio for your weird #paranormal experiments.
Now you can #ghost hunt with the theme music from Chip n' Dales Rescue Rangers or whatever the heck you want!
Congrats to @johnonolan and the team at Ghost, which today announced a public beta for users to connect their publications to the fediverse. If you're in their beta, you'll be able to find, follow and interact with people and publications on platforms including Ghost, WordPress, Threads, Mastodon, BlueSky, Flipboard and more. Get details in the blogpost here. If you want to know more about Ghost's approach to decentralization and the open social web, check out John's DotSocial conversation with @mike at the second link.
#Ghost just announced cross-platforming for fediverse and decentralized media. Again. People seeing the moment and taking it.
We're incredibly honored to announce that #Ghost (@index) has become a formal sponsor of Fedify through Open Collective [mastodon.xyz]!
This is a significant milestone for our project, and we're deeply grateful to @johnonolan and the entire Ghost team for their support and recognition of our work in the #ActivityPub ecosystem.
Ghost's social web integration built on #Fedify is a perfect example of how open standards can connect different publishing platforms in the fediverse. Their backing over the past months has been invaluable, and this formal sponsorship will help ensure Fedify remains sustainable as we continue to develop and improve the framework.
If you're building with ActivityPub or interested in federated applications, please consider joining Ghost in supporting open source development through our Open Collective:
https://opencollective.com/fedify
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us maintain and enhance the tools that make the fediverse more accessible to developers. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!

@tommi@pan.rentHey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website [jamstack.org], but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.
People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)

4/7 I have experience with #webDev, mostly React and Next.js, but other SSGs as well. I've also worked extensively with CMSs, mostly #Ghost CMS, but also #WordPress.
Theres a new interview with @hongminhee (of @fedify, @hollo, and now #Ghost fame). It's in with Korean subtitles but quite readable with YouTube's autogenerated English subs.

Free idea: #Ghost and #WordPress blog posts that federate out should in the publishing UX suggest that authors add the optional hashtag #Fediblog to the post. Not mandatory, just a nudge.
Would greatly help with the discovery of cool blogs to follow here. cc: @pfefferle @index

Hey all, the easiest way I can find #Ghost blogs using #ActivityPub is to search for @index and you will get some Friendica results, etc, but for now, that should be a sure way to find almost all the blogs that have enabled this feature so far. I couldn't tell if replies appear as comments, so if you don't want your comments on their blog, don't reply to their fediverse posts. A few told me they can see my comments on their dashboard but I don't know what that means. #FediTips #Fediverse
