Interview with John O’Nolan about Ghost 6

We were excited to see the recent release of Ghost 6 with ActivityPub features. The Ghost team have been an active participant in our Long-form Text project. John O'Nolan, founder and CEO of Ghost.org, was kind enough to answer our questions about the software and its community. SWF: For our readers who don't know Ghost, how would you describe the platform? JO: Ghost is an independent publishing platform for people who take writing seriously. We're open source, non-profit, and built to give […]

@Anuj Ahooja Friendica has had full support for formatted long-form articles since its inception 15 years ago. The same goes for all its surviving descendants, created by the same developer: Hubzilla from 2015, (streams) from 2021, Forte from 2024. In addition, Hubzilla can be used to post federating long-form articles (which are automatically sent to Fediverse connections and Atom feed subscribers) and optionally also to post non-federating long-form articles (which aren't sent anywhere).

Friendica has also been able to subscribe to both RSS and Atom feeds since its inception. The same goes for Hubzilla.

This is not new to the Fediverse at all.

See also my Mastodon vs Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte feature comparison tables here: https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/item/0a75de76-eb27-4149-b708-f20b2f79d392. (By the way: This is a non-federating Hubzilla article.)

"One of the big pain points has been how subscribers to #longformtext from platforms like WordPress, WriteFreely, Plume and Ghost.org see the text in their microblogging platforms like Mastodon or Threads. Often, the data is abbreviated or misformatted. #FEPb2b8 is, in part, a way to improve and standardize this problem.
The participants in the project are aiming to have better standards support from both #publishers and consumers over the next few months."

For #FediforumFriday it looks like we cleared the last big hurdle for #LongFormText. It looks like Mastodon is FEP-compliant which means we have multiple publishers and consumers. Really good news.
