@Bonfire This doesn't sound like something I'd be able to set up myself though? This is an exciting idea but there's no way I could do that. How much of the tools are available for use for people with the technical chops? Is the code all there that did this or is a lot of it owned by Jacobin?

@Bonfire Putting publications into a bonfire evokes a scary picture in this day and age.

Ghost and Bonfire are both shaping up to be formidable forces in the Fediverse's toolchest.

Both working together like this is impressive, indeed. It's survival (thrive-al?) of the most co-operative at it's finest.

@Bonfire Interesting direction. The idea of turning a publication into a community feels especially relevant for independent creators and photographers.

Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Really meaningful for the #OpenScienceNetwork flavor of #Bonfire too, where giving a scientific paper its own discussion space would be tremendous.

👏👍

@omi_geek@mstdn.jp Thanks! You can already see this approach in action with Jacobin de, which is using Bonfire to turn its publication into a community. We share more about the work we did together in this case study: bonfirenetworks.org/case-stu...

Jacobin × Bonfire — From audience to community

How Jacobin's German edition connected Ghost to Bonfire to give its readers a federated community space they own. The result is a reusable foundation other publishers can adopt.
