Their work is far from over, but lack of development and progress is leaving me wanting.
My thoughts on how Ghost might join Fediverse
The folks who make Ghost, the wonderful software that runs this site, and my comic site incredibledoom.com recently put up a poll asking how folks would like them to implement one of their most requested features: ActivityPub support. Here's what I told them.
Developer Documentation for ActivityPub & Fediverse | SocialDocs
The comprehensive developer resource for building with ActivityPub, Mastodon, and the Fediverse. Guides, specs, API reference, and tools.

Ghost: The best open source blog & newsletter platform
Beautiful, modern publishing with email newsletters and paid subscriptions built-in. Used by Platformer, 404Media, Lever News, Tangle, The Browser, and thousands more.
Making a Ghost Blog a Valid standard.site Publication
This blog federates over ActivityPub through Ghost so Mastodon users can follow @index@subaud.io. standard.site is the counterpart for the AT Protocol side: a set of lexicons that describe a blog as records in an atproto repo, the same identity and data layer behind a Bluesky account. Anything
Why ActivityPub is the future
We often tout things like “Mastodon is based on open web protocols” as one of its advantages. I want to elaborate why exactly that’s a good thing.
ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and more!
Talking about this article and how ActivityPub and AT Protocol are maybe not as different as people might think. We covered some slides to an unrecorded talk of mine, which explores a lot of things...
ActivityPub Won by Being Boring
At FediForum 2026, ActivityPub co-author Evan Prodromou explained why the protocol succeeded by staying deliberately ordinary and why the W3C's Q3 2026 revision needs to keep it that way.

The Long Tail of Work Left Until ActivityPub Has E2EE
soatok.blogFrom Bluesky’s work on permissions data, to adding e2ee to activitypub, there are a lot of projects working on private data, converging towards something that’s roughly Matrix-shaped. But the dynamics underneath turned out to be stranger than I thought connectedplaces.online/reports/fr163-decrypting-matr…
FR#163 – Decrypting Matrix
connectedplaces.onlinethe general bsky userbase being a lil dismissive of the standard.site integration is a reminder that this whole atproto atmosphere ecosystem is a long game. not everyone will be on board, and that's ok! we'll be ready to welcome people into a decentralized social future as big social fades away :)
Sure seems like there’s nothing stopping @ghost.org from hopping on board the AT train now at very low dev cost. Would love for our existing Ghost blog to magically turn @standard.site compatible overnight.

My first Leaflet!! You can now publish TO @standard.site lexicons from @astro.build sites using my new plugin! As sites like @pckt.blog and @leaflet.pub and @offprint.app add support for the site.standard lexicon, this plugin will let you publish to and pull from those other sites! #atproto #atdev
