idk if any mutuals have/want a newsletter and want to switch to Ghost, but I will literally help you migrate to Ghost from your static site, Substack, whatever for free; just because I think Ghost and its recommendation network and its ActivityPub features are all so awesome š
I *really* want to get the network effect going with an open-source platform and leave Substack in the dust. So yeah hmu lol
I have been wanting to run my own Ghost but unsure of setting up and the expense of the 3rd party email server that's required. Also, needing a VPS is an added expense beyond my current shared hosting account.
@MichaelBishop I run my personal blog for a bit less than $5/month, $3-$4/month goes to Pikapods https://www.pikapods.com which I would highly recommend for Ghost hosting unless you like Linux and want to DIY, and $0-$1/month for Mailgunās Flex Plan.
Pikapods is slightly more technical than just turnkey Ghost hosting like ghost.org or other providers offer, but you donāt really need to worry about maintenance/updates after setting it up which is the main reason I recommend it.
