🫤 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.
