Substack to Ghost import guide for 2024: How I migrated my newsletter

How to migrate a newsletter to a self-hosted Ghost installation.

Zur Zeit ist die Entwicklung rund ums #Fediverse sehr spannend. Die Blogging- und Newsletter-Plattform #Ghost will noch im Laufe dieses Jahres ihr Projekt ins Fediverse bringen. Damit hätten wir eine weitere Plattform für Langtexte im Fedi.

Dutzende Millionen Accounts: Auch Blogging-Plattform Ghost kommt ins Fediverse

Das Fediverse wächst weiter: Über das zugrundeliegende Protokoll ActivityPub soll in diesem Jahr auch die Blogging- und Newsletter-Plattform Ghost föderieren.

@berkough So glad you like Write.as / #WriteFreely!

I've actually talked to @johnonolan and the folks at #Ghost before, when they helped us integrate cross-posting.

I'm pretty excited for the social reader they announced, as it should mean *all* long-form content in the fediverse will get really interesting. I reached out to them this week about working together -- think we see it as more about collaboration than competition :)

The blogging platform #Ghost is working on adding #ActivityPub integration. That means, among other things, being able to follow Ghost-powered blogs and comment on articles right from your Mastodon account. The website they made to explain their plans is really nice! This is what momentum looks like.

Slowly the way we consumed information became less like home cooking and more like McDonald's #ghost #activitypub

Only now realizing there's and open source alternative Ghost that's like Substack. And there's some talk about Ghost joining ActivityPub. I think if it happens it will be nice, even if I was not even know it existed up until today.

I know you can’t read this yet on #threads but federating a existing service is not that complicated.

The #activitypub specification allows you to implement things in an incremental way.

I worked in federation of our #flipboard network.

Federating #ghost can’t be that complicated.

Looks like #Ghost may be joining the #Fediverse!

I hope this is real and not hype because Ghost is my favourite blogging platform – a great alternative to #Medium and #Substack!

They already got great email integration. Adding ActivityPub would be beautiful!
