let's bring #longform (text) support to the #photoverse

(this is not (mainly) about long texts on #pixelfed or #vernissage (they can both fall back to show the summary), it is about supporting image posts with the object type: `Article`)

@AwetTesfaiesus Ich finde Kettenposts okay, und die sind glaube ich bei diesen Requirements die einzige Option.

Unter Einbeziehung anderer Instanzen: Fediverse-Dienste, die mehr für LongForm ausgelegt sind. FediTips nennt Friendica, Ghost und WriteFreely. (Ich selbst kenne die nicht.)

Author Sophie McBain wasn't on my radar screen, though it turns out I had read some of her pieces before.

Good journalists / longform writers are scarce. We want to recognise them.

Here's her website:

🫤 Tired of WebDev 🫤

Microblog, had to say googbye, so I moved my Prose blog to Ghost.io, fine. It's mostly good. Chopped up a theme to get rid of the "sign up" stuff that I don't care about. This isn't for making money and I don't care if anyone signs up. Fine, but I want comment functions.

Ghost doesn't do one thing very well: enable mastodon comment replies directly. Some JS blah later, and now I have embedded mastodon comments which can be viewed on the post and via mastodon. Great.

Oh, but Ghost has a beta ActivityPub integration. So to complicate things, here are my two Masto accounts, one with a bridge that is supposed to be useful?

- Standard: @winterschon
- Ghost Bridge: @eva

Oh you want a HTTP URL:
- Regular - Yes: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@winterschon
- Ghost - Broken: https://prose.winterschon.com/@eva

Doesn't work as expected. You can only get to the @eva AP profile by searching from a mastodon client for profile @eva ... annoying. Otherwise it just pulls up the usual Ghost blog site and that's it. Their implementation needs some work.

Any advice is certainly welcome.

"When we first got ActivityPub working in Ghost, sent out the first newsletter that went out directly to the fediverse, likes started coming into Ghost ... The place where you push 'publish', started getting notifications, seeing people are replying, people are liking, people are reposting. And it sounds very contrived, but it was like a lightbulb moment ..."
