this was rather a big instance no?

wow this is an amazing list of updates. props to all the people who worked on this!

I used my mod powers to feature this post on the top regardless of the upvotes. I hope no one feels I have abused my new found powers...

I looked through TV 2 a bit to see if there was a recording or something but didn't find anything, probably would be easier for someone who speaks the language

I posted this from mastodon where you can't link to communities in that way...

heres a link to the post on a web viewer for Nostr

wow this survey is written in such a bizarre way

I fucking wish!

Why is this posted to /fediverse?

I dont want billionaires getting involved either but its probably to lemmys advantage to have some control over the narrative

So Lemmynade and Limbo are no longer and you are both working on Liftoff now?

ha I didnt even realize I made this into a lemmy post!

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)

Jack reposted this description of Lemmy as well

probably good to mention the url to the initiative here: https://allpunkspleaseleavemeta.com/

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!

Hmm had an error loading the full post in Piefed even tho I posted in it. But yes I think that showing all the comments to a link across instances like how piefed and many clients do is great and makes the place feel more lively

this is weird, I like it. I didnt know lemmy even supported posting of video!

I ran across this exchange with Ghost CEO John O'Nolan on the Product Hunt announcement:

Levelsio:

Wow great work, do you think payments will start to also go this way with Ghost in the future? As ActivityPub is decentralized, maybe having some decentralized type payments fit into the future

John O'Nolan replied:

yeah! I think crypto is actually starting to get interesting for the first time now, because most people are no longer interested in it. Generally that signals the end of the hype phase and the beginning of practical utility - so I’m very interested in exploring how decentralised payments could work in Ghost in the future. There are all kinds of interesting and legitimate and interesting usecases which Stripe (mostly Visa/Mastercard) refuse to support

I would recommend Gancio instead of Mobilizon to be honest. Its also fediverse event software but designed quite different. You can see a pretty active server of it here https://bcn.convoca.la
