🎉 Finally federated!

After a truly ridiculous amount of stubbornness, debugging, and duct-taping containers together, my Ghost blog is now fully ActivityPub enabled.

You can now follow my blog directly from the fediverse:

Thank you! 💕 That was quite something, got it done through sheer determination and a refusal to be defeated 😅 @laura@blog.laurahargreaves.com

Yep, about 500 times during the process I'm thinking to myself 'completely understand why Elena went to MagicPages over this' 😂😂

yep, to get to v6 I had to migrate the database from mariadb and move from CLI-managed install to docker, fun times! 😂 I'm actually quite glad now because everything else I host is docker, so Ghost was the odd one out really 😊 Now they've brought out 6.8.1 I see, so I suppose that's my next job 😂@laura@blog.laurahargreaves.com
