you’d probably be better off setting up your own domain server and trying to get that working

That’s technically a subdomain and the same reason email went with @

Donated with renewal! Thank you all for the hard work 😁

This is super cool! You really get a lot just by making a FE for the lemmy API. Good work! 👍

For me federation is working to mastodon, but I don’t think comments are really out yet, but I use cactus comments for it, but that doesn’t federate to mastodon, it federates to matrix. It also requires a matrix server, which was a total pita to set up.

I’m currently using write.as. It’s a pretty bare-bones setup when in single user mode and doesn’t give the kind of list view you might expect for readers - it loads everything onto a single page. I’m considering maybe using Ghost, which is another big name in the federated blogging space. Write.as doesn’t come with comments by default, but I was able to add cactus-comments, but it was a huge PITA because it requires a matrix server.

I do, however, like the minimalist UI aspect of it. You can take a look at mine here. I was also able to get around the list thing by using pinned posts, which stay at the top, so I made an about, a directory, and subscribe pages.

Write.as will post to mastodon under an account that it creates and I have myself on mastodon as a verified owner of the blog site.

is the baby federating?

Oh Ghost looks really nice. It’s pretty slick. It seems to be geared slightly more for creators than consumers in the initial UI, but it’s not hard to start digging around.

It’d be nice if I could sign in as a user and save people to follow, but at least I can bookmark them and add them to rss. I like it - this is a great source!

I haven’t done that in 15 years XD

Misskey is way more interactive. Dang!

Tl;dr - fediverse probably won’t do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues

What a bunch of snowflakes. I like the idea. This was my first thought though

While I don’t necessarily think that votes should be made public, it would be nice if you could see your own votes. There have been a few times I wanted to find a post that I had seen, but didn’t save, and I couldn’t find it.
