Good, though more of a WordPress alternative. I’d like to see actual substack alternative in the fediverse, with the ability for users to pay authors for their work, via subscription, as substack does.
I know people are worried about monetization in the fediverse but authors need payment for their work. Subscriptions don’t have the same perverse incentives as advertising.
Flipboard ceo has mentioned he is supportive of the idea.
You’ve described Ghost. Subscriptions for content are a first class citizen.
Subscriptions work with fediverse content though?
Isn’t ghost more of a Wordpress alternative? And calling it a substack alternative is trendy.
It’s primary a writing platform with built-in monetization options and the ability to self host. We switched to it from Substack. It’s been fantastic to use and operate. Super slick.
Ghost is almost perfect, but their decision to go with MySQL really sucks
