I just finally deployed something I've been working on for a few weeks now: a feed of my writing, posting, reading, and other various activity that lives on my website at https://www.mollywhite.net/feed!
I've admired the POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE; "Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere") model for a long time, but only finally found the time and energy to put something together that I'm actually happy with.
@molly0xfff wow, really cool. learned something new. I like the posse philosophy.
What software did you use to achieve it ? or did you build your own ?
@joanpla you could definitely do a microblog with federation with wordpress and the plugin, but the crossposting to other networks, integration with my blog/reading lists, and a few other features would require more than that
@molly0xfff Just so I am following, you write in whatever Citation Needed is utilizing ( or post to the microblog ), then have your mollywhite.net/feed/ endpoint reflect that then choose what gets pushed to other services from that /feed/ ( after some delay so the CN/blog gets the source crawl first before the other services do? ) Its a very cool idea ( POSSE ), and I think it sounds super interesting.
@molly0xfff One question: How does it post to Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky? It looks like it's splitting longer posts across Tweets, but does it use the public Twitter API?
@bobbydigitales yep, it splits posts based on the maximum character limits of each service, with some manual finagling if i so choose. it uses the public twitter API, yes
