#SelfHosting week 1, phase 3.
Decision is almost made, considering a site based on hybrid solutions:
Newsletter -> buttondown
stories -> writefreely
interactions/comments -> lemmy (where stories from writefreely will spread to fediverse) and at this point I find less useful to federate Writefreely, given that this platform has no comments. Makes sense a "reply via e-mail" pointing to LetterBird page I have, and "follow [category/community] on Lemmy to comment via Fediverse.
What's missing? A stable navigation menu, and an internal search engine. Found a way to place a landing for the site, through writefreely's admin settings.
My main (no longer so hidden) intention is get rid of WordPress, despite self-hosted its philosophy is drastically changing.
And I even have Bearblog which solves some of the issues for nav menu and maybe search bar, but it's a centralized platform depending on one person only. Of course accessibility is the main focus, both in back and front-end.

Any suggestion or feedback is highly appreciated, this month will be dedicated to tests and experiments.

@elettrona@poliversity.it Ghost CMS integrates with the fediverse from version 6 @index@activitypub.ghost.org

Not sure comments will be publicly visible but probably in the Network menu of the backend. I didn't play that much with Ghost fediverse intégration so far so happy to hear your feedback if you give it a try 🙂

@nathan @index Sorry I forgot to say it: tried Ghost 6.10 but it still has plenty of accessibility issues. It has a very superficial work on accessibility in it, clearly an architecture never optimized for accessibility by design, they're repairing one component after another with unsatisfying results. Ghost is off limits.
