Kennt sich jemand mit dem Selbsthosten von #Ghost und #ActivityPub aus? Gibt es Fallstricke, auf die man achten muss?

@saxifraga It's interesting, i believe it's a much better solution to being on centralized servers and platforms controlled by one entity. It puts more power to choose in the users hands and that's a great thing.
To be honest, if there weren't decentralized choices i don't think i'd be using social media much if at all in 2025 with how things are going on many fronts.
I really like Mastodon and have for many years and the projects that connect with it through ActivityPub.

@transicorn I’m getting more and more interested in decentralisation, but I’m just unaware of how it all really works! And happy to be kind of in the dark a little!

Sure, that works too, Photon was just a play on the original name and the name for the particle for light, which is kinda important for photos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

@saxifraga I'm interested in decentralization so part of me hopes it will mature and become a thing, but i'm just unsure of how many are using it as well as how many are actually running instances of it that are federated.
If it allows users to natively connect to both #ActivityPub and #ATProto networks without a bridge that would be interesting. Unsure how far along that is but it was something i recall them promoting as a goal somewhere when looking into it initially.

@transicorn it just seems to be another thing for me to get confused with! I might just leave it alone 😁
-
@saxifraga There are more than 20 users because my profile isn't on that list.
But the fact that 2 years in to their demo instance running you can't even load the list of users doesn't bode well for the project overall.
It seems like it could be cool but i sincerely doubt it's going to ever be something like the other projects that already use #ActivityPub we all connect with already here.

@transicorn 20? Hmm. I think I agree with you - not somewhere to leave for.
It might be just another of those things I’ve signed up for and then never use.

@saxifraga It's been live for 2 years it seems but I think only recently began allowing more signups again.
There are 20 members i can see in the list when clicking on it, trying to load more gives this error.
Tbh i'm not sure if this is ever going to be something people are leaving anywhere for. It might be interesting but i don't see myself using it much even if it does work out given what i'm seeing 2 years into it being around.
