If you follow a Ghost site from Mastodon etc, it isn't just a one-way feed.

Ghost sites are actually on the Fediverse and they can interact with Mastodon etc accounts, they can favourite, boost and reply.

You can see Ghost site @sam@bl.ag replying to @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services here: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/115293813549700275

This is two-directional, Fediverse-compatible websites can seamlessly talk with people on Fediverse-compatible social networks. This is how the open web is supposed to work.

Screenshot of some posts within a thread viewed from in Mastodon. There is a caption "This reply is coming from a Ghost-powered site which is on the Fediverse". One post is highlighted and is from a Ghost-powered site @sam@bl.ag and says "Thank you for sharing BLAG on your feed and your site. I'm excited to see what the Ghost-Fediverse integration goes in the months/years ahead." A reply below this post is from the FediFollows Mastodon account and says "Happy to share, you are running a lovely site! And indeed about the integration! This is amazing to be reading a reply from a Ghost site directly within Mastodon."

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @sam@bl.ag @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services I don't know whether this is good or bad

It's really good, it means people on Ghost can interact with people on Mastodon etc.

Ghost is FOSS and can be self-hosted, so this could also help the diversity of servers on here. Each self-hosted blog is its own server.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I understood "Ghost Website" as "Dead Website" or "Dead Account"

Ahh okay! Sorry, I should have written the original post more clearly 😅😅

Yeah, Ghost is a particular kind of blogging platform that is very popular. It's like a more ethical alternative to Substack:
