Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.

My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

GoBikeCamping - Find Bike-Friendly Campsites and Resources

Discover bike-friendly campsites, bike shops, and resources for your next cycling adventure.

@spencexyz what is the platform behind the website? I can help with guidance.

@theraccoonbytes I would love any advice you have. The website is just a NextJS app that I've built. I'm starting to build a blogging platform around the map on the website.

I don't fully understand yet how I'd then get that on the fediverse. Do I fork an existing platform and build on that so that when you open one of these posts on my serve you can see all of the enhanced features, like mapping and gpx downloads?

I don't think I fully grasp how this is all wired up yet.

@spencexyz I created an article, well a series of posts, you may want to take a look.

It is one @blog but this is the direct link:

Hi! I have created this index for easy navigation. In Part 1, we will discuss why it is important to bring your site to the Fediverse. In Part 2, we will delve into an overview of the design of my implementation. In Part 3, we will make your blog discovereable in the fediverse. In Part 4, we will generate our notes and outbox, which contains posts ready to be shared in the Fediverse. Part 5, is an interlude to implement a subscribing to your site feature with fediverse accounts.
