POSSE

POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, the practice of posting content on your own site first, then publishing copies or sharing links to third parties (like social media silos) with original post links to provide viewers a path to directly interacting with your content.

I was on the hunt for an #RSS to #ActivityPub bridge, and @Barredo's @mastofeed seems to be it!

I just had to sign in with my Mastodon account, and add my RSS feed. Mastofeed can then track new RSS entries and post them on my behalf.

I used Publii to generate the static site + RSS feed, and it worked beautifully. Mastofeed can even upload the post's featured image.

Can't wait to leverage this for my future blog!

A test Mastodon post from my account that was automatically posted by MastoFeed. It reads "Test -> Heading 1: I'm giving Mastofeed a try. Let's see if this works..." followed by a link to the post and image of the post.

A screen capture of Publii's WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) blog post editor. After I saved and closed the post, I synced the site, which updated the RSS feed.

Initial custom themes support has landed in @conjured.ink's stall software and it's very fast, and very easy to write custom themes for (assuming you know a little bit of HTML/CSS!)

Highlights:

VERY fast jinja-style templates w/ layouts & partials
KDL-based metadata ;)
No framework needed!
Easy packaging

Our shops are more than just ecommerce: they're going to be able to do newsletters/blogging, POSSE, and general custom websites, all with an EXTREMELY small footprint that will be cheap or free!

Like this whole thing? Please support us if can comfortably do so: https://mastodon.social/@conjured_ink/115347161647458655

#Facebook sperrt meine Blogpage nach mehr als 15 Jahren. Das macht wütend - setzt aber auch Handlung in Gang -- ab jetzt POSSE, frei nach @pallenberg - mach et selbst, Digga ;)

https://blog.stpauli.social/farvel-facebook/

Ich weiche, dorthin, wo keine Algorithmen mich gängeln können. Hierhin ins Fediverse und in meinen Blog, meine eigene Posse aufbauen. War sowieso ermüdend, andauernd hunderte von Nazis und Nazibots zu sperren.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 203 (am I doing POSSE right? edition) 📖

Experimenting with the #POSSE method by posting on my federated #Wordpress site first and then syndicating elsewhere.

🔗: https://elenarossini.com/2025/07/my-adventures-in-self-hosting-day-203/

Not sure if I'm doing things the right way but it feels empowering to have these posts on my site - it will be so much easier to organize them and find them in the future.

Hello Fedi friends!

My decision to upload the Fedi promo video to YouTube 2 weeks ago was really controversial.

@randahl posted a nice message about the video & encouraged his followers to like / comment on it so the YouTube algorithm would serve it to more people. He was inundated by hostile comments for days. Sorry Randahl!

Well, exhibit A of why this was a good decision in hindsight (see pic).

How else are people going to hear about the Fediverse?

As always, thanks for the support ❤️

screenshot of 2 comments on YouTube. The first reads: "Thanks to my youtube feed that recommends this video. Heart emoji. I will definitely be part of this community." The second comment reads: "I heard of Mastodon but never used it. This is the first I am hearing of the Fediverse itself. I am intrigued!"

@_elena @randahl Premiere on Peertube and then syndicate elsewhere is an excellent communication strategy, there is even a name for it:
