Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Are there any tools to make a static blog discoverable on the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

I have a static blog. Think something like a site generated with a static site generator (like Jekyll, Hugo, Eleventy, etc)

I've been thinking about making a separate backend for the blog with ActivityPub functionality to boost its discoverability.

Is there any tool that can assist me with this? I wanted to make sure before I embark on building something from scratch.

P. S. I am aware of WriteFreely, but I would prefer if the blog site remains a static site and decoupled from the ActivityPub stuff.

you can't follow people, only communities.

i was trying to follow c/privacy and c/linux

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

c/privacy should work, but there is a user named linux that confuses mastodon search, so you can't sub to the community of the same name. presumably this will get fixed in the future.

It's also worth noting that communities "boost" all of the comments in a sub, so its very "noisy" to sub to a community. that will also presumably get fixed eventually.
