Going into total sci fi land for a minute, another thing that would be really handy is if Ghost could somehow detect fediverse accounts using the same registration email I used to subscribe to a Ghost publication. Then automagically give those Actors the same following and commenting privileges as the Ghost account.
But I couldn't even suggest a mechanism for doing that off the top of my head. Definitely a bonus points one.

What would be cool is a field in the Account page where I could add my fediverse @handle. Then the Actor for that handle is automatically added to the Follows collection of the @webworm Actor.
Even better if - once my @handle is associated with a paid subscription - replies from it to @webworm posts automatically appear in the comments under the article at webworm.co (a privilege open only to paid subscribers).

Finally, a bit of blatant self-promotion;
I'm now in the process of moving the #Disintermedia blog from SS to Ghost (watch this space!). So as soon as I carve out time to finish the migration and hang the curtains, Disintermedia will be published from a community-hosted instance, right here in Aotearoa.
Thanks to @lightweight for supplying a test server and walking me through a Ghost set-up, and to Prodigi.nz for agreeing to sponsor some dogfooding services under disintermedia.net.nz.

I still need to finish hanging the curtains and arranging the furniture in the new space, but the #Disintermedia migration from SS to Ghost is complete!
Here's the first blog post I can promote using the Disintermedia domain name, telling the story of why and how I finally made the move;

Eventually you'll be able to follow the Disintermedia blog in the fediverse (I hope). Probably at;
@disintermedia-blog[AT]blog.disintermedia.net.nz
But first I need to figure out how to get the ActivityPub syndication working in my Ghost instance. Then how to change the default @handle (in Ghost that's @index[AT]domain-name.foo).

Kia ora @span antsu, just found your blog post about getting ActivityPub working Ghost;
https://blog.antsu.net/finally-got-activitypub-in-ghost/
I'm so confused by this.
"Make sure you have added the ActivityPub subpaths correctly to your reverse proxy. These must all be proxied to ap.ghost.org over HTTPS."
So a self-hosted Ghost instance can't post directly into the fediverse? If so, that's disappointing.
As is the dependence on MallGun to email out newsletters to subscribers.
